Generally my Tuesdays are uneventful. I go to class, I come home, and I either go out or go to sleep. Today however, I decided it would be a good idea to SMASH MY BRAIN INTO BITS AND LEAVE IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD before going off to my first class. What I mean by this is that I was barely prepared for everything I needed to do today.

I ran out of my dorm room at 3:00 in order to catch the bus that leaves at 3:08 that takes me to my class at 3:15. I was ALREADY screwing up, but a minute or two late to class wouldn’t kill me. So I get to my university and walk into the building and then realize that I have no idea where this class is. The classroom has changed probably 3 times since I’ve been here as where the class is held depends on what day it is, and there had already been one room switch aside from that. Last time I was able to find the room by following other people, but as I clearly do NOT pay attention I had no idea how to find my way back. I knew the room number, but in the University of Salzburg UniPark building this DOES NOT MATTER. The place is designed like a fucking maze. So I literally wandered around in circles on the second floor for 30 MINUTES, asking everyone I ran into “ENTSHULDIGUND, 2.217 BITTE?” No one knew where I was trying to go, and by this point I was trying hard not to let all the cold, unfeeling Austrians see me near tears. Finally I found a correct floor map (it should be noted that the floor maps on the second floor only show PARTS of the second floor on each one, so if you’re in the wrong section you’re screwed). This eventually lead me to my classroom, where I ran into, literally threw my homework at the teacher, grabbed the quiz and heaved a sigh of relief. The only problem was by this point I was feeling REALLY sick, from the stress or from actual illness I’m not quite sure. Also, the quiz was hard as I didn’t actually sit down and look over the stuff that was to be on it. I just did the homework and assumed that I’d be fine. NOPE. 

sigh. Someone should probably just put me out of my misery.
