Eliza and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

There's this children's picture book called Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day and it is the inspiration for my post today.

Yesterday, we had apartment clean checks. This is where every two weeks, Beaver (changed name, obviously) comes and tells us that we're slobs and need to clean up our act and with that our apartment. Beaver is especially critical of me and my roommates on clean checks and we have no idea why. Yesterday's particular clean check seemed to be fine. Then, Beaver failed me. I was supposed to clean "bathroom b" and I did. Apparently, my cleaning skills are sub par. Beaver came back to recheck me today (which cost five dollars) and FAILED ME AGAIN. Now I have to pay a whopping twenty bucks to have her clean the ALREADY CLEAN bathroom!!! Not good. (side note: I'm going to go talk to the apartment manager and hopefully get this resolved in a different way)

So that adds to my terrible horrible no good very bad day.

Today, I only had one class: Advanced Writing and Critical Thinking. It's one of the general requirements for my graduation year. Sometimes, I take my laptop with me and sit in the hall while NickerBocker is in her class after our class together (adv. writing). Today, I was feeling especially tired and just not good so I decided to come back to the apartment instead. It snowed last night. But just a little so there's that very unsafe dust on everything. I decided to cut through the parking lot thinking it would be easier. I'm walking through what appears to be a space with a giant puddle in the middle when WHAAAAAAAAMMMM.(I wrote it all spread out like that because it was like a slow-mo fall) I fall on the giant ice patch in the middle that is most assuredly NOT a puddle. All my clothes got muddy. My glasses fell off. My ipod fell out. I scraped my chin. I scraped my right wrist. I bruised the entire side of my left leg. I sprained my other wrist I think because now it hurts to move.

So that adds to my terrible horrible no good very bad day.

My class starts at 945 and so if I want to get anything done before class I really should get up at eight. I forgot to set my alarm last night so I barely even had time to brush my teeth this morning. We were almost late to class and I accidentally sat in the wrong seat and couldn't move because we were going to say the prayer. So I was in front of NickerBocker instead of to her right and she was fidgety and putting her knees in my backside. I didn't say anything which is my fault.

So that adds to my terrible horrible no good very bad day.
