General Crankiness...

elfie_chanToday, I had the urge to lash out irrationally at everyone and everything for no particular reason. ("What do you MEAN you don't have any SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE?!?! And why do you have NOTHING with cherry in it in your stupid drink machine?! DIE!!!!") Luckily, no one was harmed, and I'm much better now. I have had Mountain Dew. I don't know if that helped, but it sure tasted good. I think I'm just sick of being sick. I'm actually healing now, though, as evidenced by the fact that I have almost completely lost my voice and sound like a 12-year-old boy going through puberty. Gah.
Alex has been very kind today, even though I think I bothered him with my irritable grumbling about the lack of sweet and sour sauce at Arby's. I'm not usually the type of person to be upset by the little things of life. I really wanted a cherry Pepsi today, though. Darn. But Alex gave me a hug, even if he didn't understand why I was upset. Heck, I don't know why I was so upset. Hugs are good. Yis.
I had a quiz in Intro to the English Major today, which I totally failed as I hadn't read the first part of "Beowulf." I was silly enough to skip class on Wednesday and not do my reading. Bad Elfie. Must not do that again. Must ace all future quizzes, even though it is a boring class. Quite boring. Perhaps that is because my hand is one of the few that ever goes up, but my teacher ignores me. My teacher in my Medieval Romances class ignores me, too. Perhaps that is another reason why I was so grouchy today. I hate being ignored. It's worse than being disliked, in my opinion. Alex says that being ignored is sometimes a part of life at the University. I hate that, too, especially when I have an important question I want answered and I can't really corner my instructor after class because I have another class right afterward. The worst part is when the teacher asks a question and my hand is the only one that goes up (because I actually did the reading and study questions), but he doesn't call on me. *growls* Can I help it if I find literature fascinating? Can I help it if I have an opinion? Can I help it if I actually KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION?!
I realize that teachers don't want to call on the same people all the time. They want to test other people's knowledge and not allow students to just skate by on their classmates' work. I realize that it's hard to address everyone's questions and comments in a class of 200 students. But, when a teacher asks for discussion, I want to discuss, dammit! If other people don't, that's THEIR problem, not mine.
In any case, I suppose that's life. Not very many people are going to be sympathetic to my whining, but that's why this is my LJ--I can whine all I want! Yay!
On a happier note, it's Friday. I am very pleased about this, as it will give me a chance to relax (just as soon as Alex and I finish cleaning the more public areas of the house). Maybe my cold will be gone by Monday! Ooh, happy thought!
Things to Do Tomorrow:
-Reading for Homework
-Study Japanese
-Work on paper for Medieval Romances (another paper so soon?)
-Sketch something?
-Take over the world.
And now, a quiz.
You were meant for year(s) 700-1100.
You may find yourself attracted to the world during
it's futile state. Perhaps it's the serfs,
perhaps the royalty, but, for whatever reason,
this time period seems to fit you the best.
Which Era Do You Belong In?

Ahem. That's "feudal," not "futile," thank you very much. Other than the misspelling, this result doesn't surprise me much at all...
"We are the Knights of the Round Table. Resistance is feudal."
