.. oh, excellent(, in that nonexcellent way);
I was to bus out with the glee club at 7am,
but i .. accidentally fell asleep.

(i had meant only to sleep on the bus.)
(and so i hadn't set an alarm.)
okay, so-

in a certain sense, i'm ... not worried about my musical contribution,
since this was going to be a megahundreds-of-people mass-performance,
but i feel nauseated at the thought of facing folk now.

there's a message in my voicemail asking at 7am15 why I'm not at the bus1.
And I can't call back, because they're in rehearsal now,
so that might cause evil-phone-ringings, and. fuck, I don't know.


1 I turned my phone off around mid-day yesterday because it was running low on battery power, and then I hadn't turned it back on when I plugged it into the charger. end effect: it was charging and powered, but it was not receiving calls. (not that a wake-up call at 7am15 would have done me any good anyway.)

yeah. so. as a postscript, I feel irrationally afraid to leave my room. I feel like I shouldn't be here, that it's some crime that i'm on campus, that i'll be unsafe if i so much as unlock my door. because i'm clever and logical like that, and because that clearly makes a lot of sense. ech. i'm going to try to go to lunch.

their rehearsal is scheduled to end at 7:00, so I'll call a little after then. *shiver*

...

How is your Germanic Linguistics prelim going? After a few hours of attacking mine without making notable progress, I'm reaching the conclusion that I really only have about one-eighth-of-an-idea what I'm doing on most things, but then again, I don't think I was ever under the illusion that I was going to do any better than that, anyway. ech. Historical linguistics has all the idiosyncratic, arbitrary fuzziness- ("Fooled you! If it looks like a class 1 weak verb, then it's definitely not a class 1 weak verb!")- of history, economics, and the humanities in general, except that the BS-friendly "there are no wrong answers" safety net does not apply. gah.

Well,.. It's a bit past 7:00 now, so I guess I should, uh, .. ee, sickpanics.

We-ell...it's not really, er, going. yet. >.<

I'm too scared to start attacking it, honestly, because I know it'll send me into total panic mode and ohmygoshifailatlife. If you only have 1/8 of an idea what you're doing, then I'll wager that I have about 1/13 of one.

*cries* But thank you for reminding me that I have to do it sooner or later.

for being so affable and storytelling, Harbert definitely, uh, doesn't give very easy stuff. He does tend to grade very forgivingly, but.. ech.

Anyway, collectively, that's, like, 21/104ths of an idea.. That's slightly more than 1/5th!. Of course, prelims don't really go over well (or, uh, at all) as collaborative efforts, so that's a moot point. le sigh.
