I don't do things halfway.

sinsyneInstead of sleeping through my alarm, I simply didn't set the darn thing last night.
I was so confused this morning because on Tuesdays 1) I usually don't feel well-rested, 2) I certainly don't wake on my own, and 3) it's not pleasantly light in my room. I think my brain briefly tried to convince me it was the weekend or something, but I groggily turned to the clock and promptly learned why I felt so damnably comfortable. xD
7:40. To attend any 8:00 class, I need to wake up at 5:30. Um, oops? Mercifully, it was English I missed; we're only doing orals and I presented last week. Just the same, I felt a little embarrassed. What kind of dork forgets to set her alarm clock? *facepalm*
On another note, I'm disappointed. During our next semester, Ness and I wanted to take Chinese lessons at Dawson as an aside. According to our many Asian friends, it's much easier to learn Cantonese, and then Mandarin. Unfortunately, Dawson offters only Mandarin, and the best place that offers Cantonese lessons is too far for me to travel. In which case, Ness will relay me her lessons and Winn, who's fluent in Cantonese, will get me started over the summer.
It'll have to do, but I was really hoping to take actual classes, and I'm not sure how easy it'll be to meet up with Winn during the summer considering we'll both be working. It's really frustrating because I truly adore Asian languages, and I'd like to start learning them formally. That, and this distance/travel problem again brings to light the whole issue of how much freer my life would be if I lived with my aunt.
I'm tired, my muscles ache, so I'm possibly being unnecessarily dramatic, but this is making me feel down.
