I hope today gets better. I haven't slept well / much in the last two days. I've also been exceptionally hot, to the point where I actually turned the air conditioner back on (we'd turned it off since the mornings have been cool recently). Anyone who knows me knows that I don't get hot. I wear long pants and hoodies in this Alabama heat. I wear hoodies indoors 99% of the time. There is always a blanket on me when I'm chilling on the couch. But lately I am a sweaty mess. After starting to cramp last night I'm thinking that these are fun new PMS symptoms. Woohoo. /sarcasm
Since I'm obviously feeling super great and rested and smart and patient, of course things went well with my quiz this morning. I logged into the Team meeting and got called out for not having my webcam on, which was mandatory for taking the quiz. But I had turned my camera on, and the switch at the top of the meeting showed that it was on; however, the screen where I should have appeared was black. Just as well because when I tried to access the quiz with the password I couldn't do get it to work. My computer froze up and crashed. By this point I was far past flustered; I wasn't even sure I'd be allowed to take the quiz. Thankfully, when I got booted up and rejoined the meeting (with a working camera this time), the professor let me take it.
There were only 4 questions and I made it through ONE. Whatever happened with my computer, it wasn't a fast reboot and it was sluggish after that. So opening the quiz took forever. Me struggling through a problem took forever, as my anxiety was up and I was trying not to think about what the hell was wrong with my computer. My concentration was gone. Then when it was time to upload a photo of my work, that ALSO took forever. It was awful and my grade is going to take a hit because of that. (My teacher did give me the same amount of time as everyone else even though I joined the meeting a whopping 15 minutes late, but after struggling through one problem I knew that I wouldn't make it though a whole 'nother problem, especially with how slow my computer and my brain were running.)
ANYWAY. I'm hoping that that was the worst part of my day. If not, well, I don't even know. But I hope your Tuesday started off less stressful than mine.
