MANIC EPISODE
93.3333% on my Psych midterm today! Yay. I completely forgot what topics we were to study for on the quiz, so I handed in a blank sheet of paper. I got back a 1/10 with the comment ‘for showing up in class on a Friday. :)’
D’aww.
This guy named Brian in my Abnormal Psych class is one annoying asshole. He keeps criticizing these small details that don’t need to be criticized, his speech is disjointed and slurred and yet he continues to want to butt in halfway during lectures proclaiming he’s more knowledgeable than the lecturer herself. He is self-absorbed, annoying, disruptive, irritating and… some other mean words.
I pulled up the courage to meet with my History TA during her office hours and failed for the second time in two weeks. She wasn’t in her office, and when something doesn’t exactly go according to plan for me (I expect her to be in her office), I panic a little.
It’s strange to consciously know that you’re panicking. I’ve always had heart palpitations and breathing problems before talking to a professor/lecturer/some foreign object, and today, for the first time, I actually realized my heart was beating so fast I couldn’t stop it. And… well, I dunno how to explain this. You know when fear strikes you there’s this odd gushing feeling in your chest that causes your heart to beat faster? It feels like a release of chemicals or something… but anyway, I felt that. Kinda eerie. I sort of stood in the corridor like a moron for about 2 minutes before deciding to exit the building without meeting my TA.
Humph.
