Overwhelmed

I am officially overwhelmed by school. I don't know what happened but tonight at class when we started going over the bones I felt like I couldn't get enough oxygen and my heart started beating rapidly. I'm sure the green tea before class with sugar didn't help but this test is going to be difficult. It's not JUST the bones, it's also the little curves on the bones, the indentations and the holes all of which have their own NAMES! Ugh! I'm sure I'm overreacting and things will be just fine by test time (maybe) but right now it seems overwhelming.
My camera still has come and I'm starting to wonder where it is. If it's not here by tomorrow I'll have to look into it.
I went and got a haircut this morning and it was horrible. I have been feeling awful since I left and wish I had said something to her or the manager. She didn't do a good job on the hair but that's not what I'm upset about at all, I was so preoccupied I didn't even realize it was a bad haircut until this afternoon. As soon as I walked in the door with Madison she looked and me and smiled and said "hi". Then, she looked at Madison and immediately said "her eyes are red underneath, she's not contageous is she?" I didn't even know what to say. I just looked at Madison and didn't even see what she was talking about. Madison had just woken up shortly before we left so maybe she was still a bit tired but she certainly didn't look sick. I finally said "she's not sick" to the lady and she didn't seem to believe me. She proceded to tell me that when people come in there sick the people that work there take it home with them and they don't want to do that. I don't think I said anything for several minutes but she kept talking and talking and talking. She started asking me all sorts of questions and was the most egocentric 20 something year old who thought she was the best thing since sliced bread. She said a few more things that were really offensive but I honestly can't even remember them right now. I'm exhausted and have bones on my mind (or my parietal bones I suppose). She did mention something about pink eye later and the pink under Madison's eyes (last I knew pink eye was actually on the eyeball itself and not under the eyes). Madison has pale skin but I honestly didn't see what she was talking about. Anyway, this was all at Great Clips here in Ferndale so needless to say we won't be going back. I didn't like the way she kept talking about it as if Madison wasn't even standing there. Honestly I should have left right away but I thought it wasn't that big of a deal until she continued to act like such a @!#& during the haircut. Oh yeah, she also asked me if I cut my own bangs in between haircuts because they were so crooked. I hadn't, by the way, but I should have told her she cut my hair last time and that's how she did it. She also kept talking about preschool and if they do enough academics there and then bragged about sending her daughter to Kids World! Seriously??? I thought I knew everything as a teenager and maybe even into my early twenties but I hope I never acted like that! Then, I was the biggest idiot of all because I gave her a tip. I know....stupid! I always feel obligated to do that.
Enough.
I'm going to bed to watch tv and not think..........

I totally remember how overwhelming A&P was for me. Hang in there and just keep repeating it all. I can't remember it all now (but Aaron can, grrr).
And the haircut...I am so sorry that happened! What a weirdo. You should call and talk to the manager and maybe get a refund because I know you don't want to go back so getting a credit wouldn't do much at this point. I don't think it's okay to let people act that way! I was just thinking about taking Gavin in for a haircut today after school and reading your blog made me nervous. I'm always nervous going into those places because you never know what you're going to get. Hang in there, if you can :-)

Arrg I hate a bad haircut, if you need a recommendation let me know...I have a few good people. As for the bones, do you have someone to study with?? that helps a lot. especially working with flash cards.
