I open the door and the professor moves to block my path. "Sorry I'm late" and I was sincere about as well as panting from hurrying there.
"Don't worry, we weren't doing anything important. Just discussing economics and things pertainent to this class and the final exam. So if you feel like being foolish and wasting your tuition by being late that is your own fault; or if you felt like what you were doing instead was worth the tuition you paid than by all means go back to what you were doing. Was it worth it?"
"No sir," I mumbled.
"Ok, than since you claim to be a fool I shall let you take a seat. I know your usual professor wouldn't allow it, but I figure a fool should have a chance to redeem herself."
Gosh I hate when professors do that, single someone out. I especially hate it when its me...but it was my own fault for being late. I felt even worse because I forgot to take more cold medicine before going so I couldn't focus at all. I hope he didn't think I was dazing out on purpose. Then again, after tomorrow I'll probably never see that professor again. But...we do have name tags and there were only 9 of us so he could tell my professor that I was being "foolish" and since its an honors class and we're graded more on our attitude and attempt than anything else it could hurt..but I highly doubt it. So I'm not worried. Actually, I wasn't even that bothered by being singled out. My head was in such a fog that my only goal was to sit down.
The frisbee game was fun. We played our hearts out and never gave up even though it was 6 on 8 plus they had subs. I hope Meagan is ok. Once I woke up and got moving I enjoyed the running. And, I made some good catches and by some chance miracle some good throws!! Which almost never happens... (for those of you who have never seen me play, I'm not very good at frisbee).
Now I have basically nothing to do for the rest of the night. I finished everything that is due this week, so all I have left to do is study for exams....its just so hard to be motivated to study this far ahead of time! Oh well, most people are gone or busy so maybe I'll actually be productive.
Things that make people stare:
-wearing cleats and being red-faced from playing frisbee and going to harcombe
-Having blood drawn and wearing the cotton-ball and tape over your vein in the library.
-Tripping in falling on your face (literally).
