So, today has been basically awesome in terms of classes.

First was Psych. We got put into groups for discussions and I bonded over something with this really cute guy in the class that I've talked to a couple of times before. Then when we went into full class discussion, I participated and didn't feel like an idiot about what I said (which has been the case for very other time I've participated in any class thus far).

Then in Technologies of Gender, my teacher was 10 minutes late, which is enough to be happy about on its own. And, I actually participated twice in that class, and again, didn't feel stupid about what I had said either time. And I've been really worried about this class, since the grade is determined primarily upon discussion and I haven't been participating much. Also, we had this E-Post due on Saturday about the reading for next week which would mean we'd have to do all our reading for the next week by Saturday to do this E-Post, but she realized this was idiotic and now our E-Posts are due on Wednesdays.

Finally was Astronomy, where I answered a question and he said that it was a perfect answer.

Ok, so all of this might not sound like much, but every single time I've participated in any class since they've started, everything I've said has been totally idiotic or even just wrong and I've felt like a fool and today was the first day where I didn't feel like that and like I can handle the work and won't fail all my classes.

Also good, this is the first day this week I haven't gotten a huge headache in the morning. I think that was due to stress, and today since I was feeling less stressed out, I didn't get the headache. So hopefully I'll stay somewhat relaxed.

On the downside, I was expecting to get The Office Season 3 on DVD today, but that didn't happen. But that's ok, because at least now maybe I'll do most of my work I have due for Monday today so I'll have Saturday (when it better come!) and Sunday to watch the DVDs. At least, in theory, this is what will happen.

I think I'll go to the library now and try to get some work done so I can relax the rest of the weekend (and watch DVDs! Provided they come).

Good for you! I know what you mean about feeling stupid speaking in class... I've had that lately with Spanish. It's hard enough for me to participate in classes in English, let alone another language... heh.

Thanks! Heh, yeah, when I took French in high school, I never participated (although part of that was because I hated the teacher). And I am kind of shy and introverted so it's hard for me to speak up in front of people I don't know, so I was really proud that I was able to and not be overly critical of myself afterwards.
