Had a Bad Day: Thursday, February 26th, 2009, Edition

Published on February 28, 2009 in Diary. Comments

When I woke up I discovered that I forgot to take my milk jug (that I had just bought the night before so I could eat cereal) back downstairs and it was spoilt.

Then when I went to catch the bus I noticed a large crowd waiting at the bus stop and felt relieved. But then they walked away and I figured out that they were in a class observing nature and that I had missed my bus. (Luckily I was able to catch another one.)

In Japanese I found that I did much more work on our homework than was necessary. I had woken up incredibly early in the morning so that I could get this homework done, and was stressed out the entire morning because I didn’t think I would be able to finish it in time to turn it in.

I went to a discussion on “Lust, Caution,” and didn’t realize that it lasted for two hours instead of one. It was somewhat painful since I had gotten such little sleep the night before.

I was waiting for a car to move from a perfect parking space when I went to the atheist meeting, and just before I could back up into it another car took it.

After the atheist meeting and a discussion at a local bar I was left feeling somewhat hopeless about the future of humanity and my fit into society.

  • I biked to campus in the 25 degree weather instead of driving so I could get some exercise. It wasn’t so bad. Postmodern atheism went well. #
