today I almost died (lost balance on a ladder and it started tipping over and caught on a curtain and I had to pull it back under me using my feet while hanging from a metal pipe 14' in the air) and just now realised that my poetry midterm portfolio was due at.... 4 PM today. as in yesterday. as in FAIL.

on the plus side, I got drunk with Holly in between these two events.

but yeah, so, failure.

this is the same professor i fucked up my final and two papers with last quarter. i just hate that his only perception of me is of this stupid horrible flaky useless student when that's never who i was before this year.

god dammit.

dear lord, I'm glad you didn't die!
Have you talked to this professor?
Frankly, I feel you have good reason to be a little forgetful and distracted. I'm not saying that he'll just brush everything off, but professors can be more understanding about stuff than people think.

We get one freebie extension and he said I could count it for that. He's been really understanding, which just makes me feel like more of an asshole.

You have to learn to forgive yourself for small mistakes. Even if you make them a lot. You'll go crazy if you don't.

When I feel like I'm totally not living up to other's expectations of me, I remember a story my mom told me. She was always late to work at one of her jobs and her boss asked her why. She said to him, "I may always be late, but at least I'm consistently 10 minutes late."

Thank God you're still alive. Whew! And who's the prof in question? I worked on my SIP with Andy, and he was always really sweet about giving me time when I needed it. He would never see you as useless, flaky, lazy, etc. because you actually care about getting things done and turned in sometime. Flakes, lazy people, etc. don't care at all.
