I Never Could Get The Hang Of Thursdays

I hate four-day weeks so much. Which is completely counter-intuitive, I know, because long weekends = more sleeping time and more working time and one less day of going to class, but god I hate them so. I always end up with too much work, too many deadlines, too many exams. And this week I, I don't know, I just feel like my internal clock is like 12 hours behind the real world and it's fucking with my head.
CASE IN POINT: I missed Japanese on Tuesday because I had a fuckton of writing to do on my story still, plus I was running horrifically late and I just didn't want to deal with. I figured I'd study really hard for the exam we had today and it'd be fine.
You're probably thinking right now I missed something important on Tuesday that would be covered on the exam, so I had a really hard with it or something. But NO.
THE EXAM WAS ON TUESDAY. I FAIL SO HARD. I'm going to go to my sensei's office tomorrow and make it up (I told her I was sick, which was only a half-lie because my stomach's been fucked up all week, so annoying), which is good because it gives me more time to study, but still. FAIL.
Work was not much better, either. Some highlights of my work evening:

- not getting a single fucking pledge the entire night
- being told by a prospect (I swear to god this is a direct quote) that he wasn't giving because "the liberal policies of Stanford and California are taking the nation to hell." How on earth does one respond to such a thing?
- running through my call pool really fast because no one was picking up, so I got moved to calling Buck Cardinal Club (athletic fund). And not even alumni athletes - season ticket holdings. Which, a) why do we even cal these people? They have NO affliation with the university, and b) I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SPORTS ;asdflk',mcz. It was the worst pool I've ever called, and I really thought no one could beat engineering grad students.
