Missing AP

I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it! I was in the computer lab during lunch today right? I was working on my papers for my classes and I had like 10 things to print out because I haven’t had time to go to the computer lab to print. So I had to make sure I can print out everything and hand my teachers the work that they needed from me. So that’s what I did. I printed out my interviews questions, which I would use to interview people on martial arts.

I also printed out scholarships, and schoolwork. After putting everything where it was supposed to go then I got my coat and went to the bus as I usually do. I got to School of the Arts about five minutes later than I usually do and when I saw Matt (my old Hillside advocate) the conversations went like this:

Matt: You’re late.

Me: I know, I took the 3 and it was running a bit late today.

Matt: Yeah, but you’re a little late.

Me: Matt, I just told you what happened, I was on . . .

Matt: Haha, no, you’re late, it’s Wednesday.

Only if you could’ve seen my face, I was sick. How could I forget that I need to go to AP early? I was so caught up in everything else for my senior project and school work that I completely forgot. When I told my AP teacher, Mr. Hetland about what happened he said, “I do that sometimes too, it happens.” He then offered me to stay for the next period but I couldn’t because I had physical therapy afterwards. I don’t really have time to rearrange my schedule.

I felt really bad and wasted about 20 minutes questioning myself on how I could’ve forgotten about my class starting early. This has taught me that even if I’m under pressure and have a lot to do that I can’t just be forgetting about stuff. Everything is important. AP Economics is just as important as martial arts. I don’t think I will forget about anything else after this mistake.
