this chaos, this calamity.

i didn't do a project for my nutrition class. fail. it was a weekly log of the things we ate every day. i resisted and decided that i didnt need the points and could make it up with extra credit and killer final -- i know i have bad eating habits. i've had issues like this since i was in high school, so it's whatever. my professor asked me to come meet with her about not doing the project and we scheduled a time and i went today to chit chat. i didn't intend on having the conversation with her that i ended up having. she's adorable. she asked me about my day and i told her about how i had to get up and be in a site specific dance piece and she asked me about it...it was cute. then she was like 'so why didn't you do that one project, deej?' and i was like 'i kinda forgot about it' - lie, 'and i did all of the extra credit to try to make up for it, i guess.' she gave me a couple options about what i could to do improve my grade (i really want at least a B and it's close) and started talking about how in the project you have to spend so much time logging the meals... and i started to cry. WHAT?! i mean, it was so weird because i had no idea i was going to end up talking to her about my stupid food problems. the look on her face after i told her almost made me dissolve. she took the project grade out of my percentages - she is going to completely disregard those absent grades when calculating my final grade. i was so surprised that she was so understanding and fully supportive and kind toward me and my situation. wow. i've been better lately, though, i think.
