Got an answer back from USM College of Nursing, saying they'll be having an informational session on Feb 13 if I want to attend. Sure. Now I have to decide whether it's worth the trouble of going to work also, that day, where it's being held right smack in the middle of my workday. If I had a normal job I'd probably just be leaving a little early. We're generally understaffed on Wednesdays, so it kind of sucks for me to be gone.

Made an appointment for a haircut, tomorrow. I described it to the receptionist as 'just a trim,' but I suppose it's going to be a tricky trim, as I've been cutting my hair myself for a while, so it's probably quite the mess. I took a couple of snips at it at work, because there'd be a piece tickling my nose, so I would just grab a pair of scissors and whack it off. It's funny to see people's faces when you do a thing like that, makes me want to do it more often just to watch them gawp. :)

I was just going through some papers and happened across my college transcripts, and discovered something that makes me absolutely sick. I did much worse than I thought I did. I haven't looked at them in years and I have always sucked with remembering numbers. It wouldn't bother me so much only I actually stated what I thought I recalled my GPA as to the person I wrote the email to. I mean, I know that the overall sadness of the total is because I failed miserably in my first year at college, because I had no idea what I was doing or how to study and I was floundering, and I did much better in later classes, and stayed on the Dean's List my last five semesters, but... should I write again right now and apologize and correct my mistake? Before, possibly, she looks it up and thinks I was lying to her?

ETA: I did that. Because I couldn't bear to not do it. It was literally making me too nauseous. I do not like to misrepresent myself. I'd have been nearly weepy over it even if Eor was the only person I'd said it to. What the hell was I thinking?

*HUGS you* I hope you're feeling better now you've written to correct your slip. Don't worry about it! I mean, not that I think it's silly of you to worry -- it's totally natural, and I would be the same -- but probably it's not that big a thing to her.

*hugs back* Thanks. Well, I feel better because she said not to worry about it. I still feel like... well, just very confused as to why I would remember myself as doing so much better than I did. It's very odd. I KNOW I'm a B student, and I have some vague idea of what GPA represents, and I quoted a GPA for an A+ student, and it just kind of freaks me out that I have no idea why those numbers seemed to come into my head as though they had some relation to me.
