A Typical Day in the Life of Jo...

...you know, where I fail ALL the time. I swear, if there was a Nobel prize for failing, I would retire it.
To give you an idea of what I mean:
-I fell asleep in class today while typing
-While I was power walking to the med school, I was annoyed that the sidewalk went around this hill so I decided to save myself the time & just walk over it. Good idea, till the hill got steep & next thing I know, I'm on my ass sliding down the hill. Yup, poop colored mud on my butt & pant legs. It was an uncomfortable rest of the walk over. When I get there, the lab prof who we're in collab w/ laughs & asks if I want to wash off my pants which I decide to do. So in this bathroom which is normally abandoned, five women walk in to see me pantsless washing my pants in the sink...no one them said anything back when I said "hi." So I wash the butt of my jeans to an acceptable color of mud & am drying them via the hand dryer thing, until I look at my watch & realize I'm about to be late to our confocal appointment which charges us over $20/hr for usage. -I ended up spending the next four hours in a dark room battling sleepiness in soggy jeans looking for experimental data that never materialized because our slides kept drifting likely because we put too much DAPI+mounting media on the slide. Approximately a few hundred dollars & lots of time wasted. Back to square one.
-When I told my prof what happened to me, he just laughed, then said, "oh maybe I shouldn't be laughing." Hahahah ohhh man.
-I'm also pretty sure I messed up my toe when I slipped, it hurts considerably to move it. Some one rate my pain scale now (vital signs ftw?)

And now, time to start that studying I put off, oops?
