I Can't Seem to Understand Deadlines

For about the tenth time, I have missed yet another deadline. I was supposed to get signatures from the departments of the courses I am taking. Of course I got my last signature today (which is pathetic since I have only 3 classes and this paper was given to us at orientation). For some unknown reason I thought the paper said deadline was monday 2 weeks ago, I don't know why. So I wasn't worried, strangely, cuz I had missed the deadline anyways so I was taking my time. Then I read the paper at 4:50pm and noticed it said DEADLINE IS MONDAY 26TH, IF NOT TURNED IN BY THIS TIME YOUR TRANSCRIPTS WILL NOT BE SENT TO YOUR HOME UNIVERSITY. I quickly finished filling it out and took off running from my dorm. I made it to the building at 5:07pm, which is pretty good considering it usually takes about 30 mins. for me to walk to class. Unfortunately, the automatic doors wouldn't open, and the sign said they closed at 5pm. Then, I saw someone walking out the side door and I ran up the steps to grab the door. I got inside and luckily came across a mailbox that said Study Abroad Course Registration Papers. I put the paper in it and left to email the international coordinator to let her know. I really hope it still counts that I got it in today. Otherwise, none of my classes count, and I hope they don't send me back to the states!

I finally get back and then I have to turn around and go outside for a fire drill. I met up w/my friend April and she said she also turned her paper in today, so I don't feel so bad, but she obviously was there b4 they closed.

I had also missed the deadline to RSVP to an IFSA-Butler dinner at 6pm tomorrow (I paid all that money to come here and they use that money for free things for us like this dinner) but luckily Dierdra (whom I owe many apologies to for missing various other deadlines and meetings) is letting me come. I ran into Lindsay and Katie today and they asked me if I wanted to walk w/them to the restaurant tomorrow, which is fantastic b/c I probably could not find my way there by myself.

I also missed the deadline to sign up for a Cairncross (<--my dorm) Pub Crawl tomorrow night at 8pm. Luckily, Emma is on the committee and she said she'll get me on the list. So I'm going to wait for Paula to get back at 9pm, then we'll go meet up w/the rest of the dorm ppl.

Just what I need another late night w/no sleep. At orientation they warned us about the local students going out on weekdays and stuff, and I was like, nah thats not me I won't go to pubs or clubbing. And now I haven't really slept in a loooong time...

Well, I'm going to make my 3rd cup of hot chocolate for the night! (my newest obsession)
