Choices and Responsibility

In order to get in to see a psychiatrist, I had to make an appointment two months in advance. I will be going to see a doctor recommended by my PCP and it sounds like she is wonderful. I realized today that my appointment is no the same day as a really important meeting I need to go to. I should be able to do both without an issue, but if the meeting goes longer than it is scheduled to, I may be late or miss my appointment. I will make sure I express to the people at the meeting I have another appointment I need to meet.
I thought of some additional things I need to be doing. I have a lot of grading to catch up on because I haven't grade anything. I don't have a good reason for not doing it, though. However, a 2 week turnaround really isn't that bad.
I had a weird encounter with a student this morning and I'm not happy with the way I handled it. Class ended and students were leaving. I'll call the kid Danny. So, Danny said, "Mrs. Brennan, would you like some trail mix?" I thought maybe he just had some random trail mix in his bag and said, "No thank you." Then he responded, "Oh, I brought as a last day of class gift and then you shot me down. But whatever." I was silent, and honestly thought he just offered it as a weirdo. I waited a few seconds and in reply said, "You should have brought me an apple. You work at [x grocery story]."
I wish I would have used it as an opportunity to talk about miscommunication and just start the damn conversation over. Oh well. I guess I made my own attribution error.
He's a really good kid and I hope I will see him around.
I'm trying to bring home all of my books and research materials so they are not taking up space in the office. I don't know where they are going to put the graduate students next semester. I also have quite a few things I need to accomplish this summer and I don't want to drive to campus every day to complete my goals. It will be nice to just walk to work or only have to drive a short distance.
I'm waiting for a call today to see if I'm going to be offered a job. I was told if I did not get a call then they went with someone else or are keeping my application on hold. That's kind of rude. I think they should just leave a voicemailor something. I'm not even sure how long to expect them to call me. I've applied at a couple of other places and hopefully I'll be able to find work this summer. It's just a pain in the ass and I'm not excited about it.
I really just want to go home. I'm staying on campus because I have a meeting at 2. It's May 3rd and snowing outside. It makes me grumpy and cold and upset. I miss the sunshine.
