the thin line between optimism and delusion…

I have been checking my grades compulsively.  I got back three grades yesterday, and I have two more still out. 

My sports law teacher emailed me today to tell me that he never received my paper.  I thought I had emailed it to him on the 10 of May.  Well, I sent him an email – but didn’t attach it correctly, and he responded to my email, and I assumed that meant he had received the paper.  I almost had a heart attack at the tender age of 24 ½. 

But I emailed the paper to him for real this afternoon, and the file hasn’t been modified since May 10th, and he emailed me back and told me that he would grade it today, so everything is okay. 

The bottom line is that I only have one grade that could possibly show up on my georgia law this afternoon, but for some reason I can’t stop signing in and checking every 15 minutes (okay, okay, every five minutes). 

The ridiculous part is that I haven’t even thought about my grades in around three weeks.  But now I am making myself crazy.   I have some obsessive tendencies.
