Wearing thin
Whew.
Long day today. Perfect ending to a long week. Or was it? A long week, I mean? Just 3 days of school, but I feel as if I’m dragging myself on from one meeting to the next.
We had two presentations today. One I was responsible for, and it was in front of my entire class. Now usually I’m good with presentations. I’m not afraid of speaking in front of a crowd, I’m witty, I’m understandable… Just not five minutes after one of my teammates spilled a double cappuchino all over my feet. That kind of threw me.
It was a funny moment too, because he did something, and the cup fell over and I saw milky brown stuff pour over my table. And I looked at it, and I thought to myself: “Hey, it’s brown stuff.” Then said brown stuff poured over the edge of my table, and onto my feet. Then I thought: “Hey, this is a strange sensation. It’s kind of hot… holy fuck, that shit is really hot!” Then I leapt to my feet and caused a scene. Because hot coffee on feet is bad. Not as bad as hot coffee on ass though, which is what happened to the guy who was sitting in front of me.
Anyway, after that I had to give the presentation in coffee soaked flip-flops and needless to say I was not in the frame of mind for it. I messed up horribly, but no one actually noticed. Then we went to Utrecht for a meeting with one of our boardmembers, in a cool train and a hot bus, and we were all knackered, but we managed to get our point across. Then we went back to Amsterdam again, in a hot bus and an even hotter train, and I eventually ended up going back home in a slightly cooler bus. That was good. Then at home there was pizza and ice cream. hmm.
And even though there’s no school until tuesday (another presentation. yay.) and I have a fun weekend planned, I’m just really done with this minor. And I’m not even as fed up with the minor as some people. I’m just tired of dragging my ass all the way to Amsterdam and back every day for stuff that I’m really not that interested in anymore.
*Sigh* t3h drama. I get over myself now. Then I sleep. yes. I am the master of bright ideas.
