Haught for Naught

What a strange week this is for me. I was slotted to have a test tonight, a final exam tomorrow night and a class presentation and paper due on Thursday. After our professor sent out a revised study guide for tonight's test late yesterday afternoon, I freaked out after seeing that this study guide was for material I had not studied over the weekend. I double checked the syllabus to make sure I had my facts straight and e-mailed my professor back somewhat snidely stating that apparently we weren't going to be tested on the material in the syllabus for which I had studied all weekend long? He came back and said that's not what he saw in the syllabus but if I would prefer to take the test on the material I had studied, he would give me a week to test on the material everyone else had studied. Yes, it was my error...I read the syllabus incorrectly after having not had a problem reading the correct material all semester long. It's just been that kind of a week for me. So, I was very fortunate that he is a very unconventional professor and willing to work with his students in this way. I wiped the egg off my face, apologized to my professor for my error and thanked him for working with me.

So, now I have no test to take today since it isn't prepared, but will take it on Thursday after class, which does mean I will now have that test to continue studying for, the paper to prepare and the presentation to prepare for Thursday. None of this, of course, will commence until after tomorrow night's class, since I will be up close to all night preparing for my English final which I have tomorrow night. Haven't even started to look at that material...and I have a migraine today. Life is grand. I just keep telling myself that 3 weeks from Thursday I will be done, completely and blissfully done!
