5 reasons why I fail as a student

arrowwhiskers1. Today I forgot my electronic clicker device that my meteorology professor uses and thus was surely marked as absent. I also knew everything we went over, so honestly I may as well not have gone.
2. I totally forgot that there was homework for writing systems, and as such, did not do it.
3. Spanish class was an in-class essay that I wrote decently well, but in the end I had to rush and rereading the copy I emailed myself, I have to cringe at all the errors (like typos), made because I had no time to proofread.
4. Also had an online Spanish quiz today, and I rushed through that too so that I wouldn't be late for rock climbing and I ended up getting two wrong. I bet I totally spaced it out and SKIPPED one, since I didn't have the sense to go back and make sure I checked my answers. BLAH.
5. I am officially around 75 pages behind in my meteorology textbook, and have an essay to write for LGBT...but instead, I'm running off to Phoenix for the weekend with Ray.
So yeah basically studenting = fail.
On Roman's prompting I went to go see the bagel store lady today and was told that they WILL hire me, (the lady used those words and that stress)...but not now. Apparently they're not making enough revenue to cover the employees already hired, but they expect to be in a few weeks? Sounds like a sack of fail. I still need a job.
Then I ran off and climbed with Christian for 2 hours. That guy like. Cranks on routes and never seems to tire. I'm like OH MY GOD I JUST STRUGGLED THE FUCK UP A 5.8 AND NOW IT'S COMA TIME...yeah, need to work on that.
On the way home I stopped at the co-op for the usual--bananas and peanut butter--and as I was walking down the street there was this odd-looking old lady walking with a walker, and basically all of her skin was concealed behind huge granny sunglasses, a sunhat, and an enormous piece of folded white fabric that I suppose turned out as a dress. Only her walker, her shuffling gait, and the massive amounts of wrinkles on her little face gave a clue to her age. I was already eyeing her because she was so funny-looking, but then she came up to me and asked what I thought was where she could get a drink. When I started to ask her she said "no, no...a joint. do you know where I can get a joint?"
...LOL, was NOT expecting that. I concealed my mirth and managed to say I didn't know, and she thanked me warmly and said something like "That's alright dear...I love your hat, did you make it yourself? It's darling, it matches your shirt" (she is totally a grandmother. holy shit.)
But yeah, that was basically the most AMAZING thing ever, so amazing that I had to grab a seat on the nearest half-shady curb and call Bear up RIGHT THAT SECOND to tell him what had happened. He apparently enjoyed the story too. Then I biked home against the mountainous sunset :D
...Aaand I can't type anymore because my hands are so broken. I love climbing. And I hate it. Or something.
