Rough morning

I awoke this morning from frenetic dreams. I dreamed of C and D exam grades, of eating a restaurant meal with too many of the people I've been attracted to recently... yet with little enough angst to provoke thought upon waking. As I awoke naturally, it dawned on me that it was Wednesday - meaning I should have been jolted awake by the alarm.

I leapt out of bed and checked my phone, which told me I had about twenty minutes to get out of the door. I quickly ruled out the possibility of a shower and focused on getting clothes on my body and my notebooks and computer into my bag. By the time I was done I had no time to cook for breakfast and merely grabbed a tortilla on the way out the door.

The chemistry lecture contained too many equations and was presented in exactly the opposite order from what would have been best for my learning style. I rushed out afterward and bought a yogurt for breakfast part 2, then grumbled to Dancing Physicist about the lecture. I turned on my computer to do math homework - then realized there was paper homework I'd forgotten about, due in 50 minutes. I'd also left all my pencils at home somehow - an ominous portent in the face of math homework for someone who constantly makes simple calculational errors.

Somehow, though, it all worked out. Dancing Physicist loaned me a pencil and helped me FOIL an expression I was having trouble with, after which I finished in 35 minutes, leaving me ten to get to class. The math professor lectured on stuff that I find obvious, and then there was the quiz. I had some difficulty with one problem, but I kept on trucking, knowing partial credit is always possible. Amazingly, he allowed us just enough extra minutes for me to finish the problem. I headed off to lunch with no more issues than I'd expected last night.
