Two things that are stressing me out right now:
1. the CHI submissiions. I submitted a works in progress. That one, I feel slightly better about. So who cares if it doesn\’t get in. We can still write another paper for another conference and it would still make it. But for the thing? The student competition is making me…almost nauseous. At the beginning of the semester, Jeff told me that we had to do a good job because we would be representing the school, the masters program and everyone. Geez, thanks Jeff. Thanks for increasing the pressure. I don\’t know if that was your intent, but you certainly succeeded.
2. a late fee for my tuition. I didn\’t know that the bill was due by January 9th, but there was nothing I could do by that point. I didn\’t know because the bill was not sent to another address and I arrived after that. No notification. Nothing. It was unclear and it bothered me so much. A late fee of $150, which is…unheard of. But I have to live with it…if my 10 paragraph letter doesn\’t go through.
Nightmares of things I can\’t control.
