It has happened. New Emilie has died. As many other things, it happened in steps. I will outline them below.
1. It began on Friday, when I wasn't finished with my paper for my class. I tried to finish it, but it was a document analysis and I couldn't understand the document. I don't know about everyone else in the world, but I have a hard time analyzing something I don't even understand.
2. The next step took place Saturday, when I did quite poorly on my exam. I was discouraged, as often happens when I don't do well on an exam I actually studied for. And study for it I did. (see number 6 for a continuation of this problem.)
3. I didn't do an ounce of homework over the weekend. Not a drop of it. This causes HUGE problems when I have 600+ pages of reading to do each week.
4. I couldn't sleep last night. Old Emilie had a hard time sleeping, but New Emilie never did. Until last night. When it took hours for me to fall asleep once I got in bed.
5. Because of the whole lack of sleep thing, I slept through my morning classes. (I have had anxiety about this all day, which I guess shows that New Emilie isn't completely dead, but still.)
6. I found out in my evening class that not only did I do poorly on the exam I took Saturday, I received the lowest score in the class. Granted, my class had the highest average of any group that's ever taken the class, but compared to my peers, my intellectual processes are extremely sub par.
7. I've realized that New Emilie, while good at going to class, is just as bad at school as Old Emilie.
Thus, the idea of New Emilie has died. RIP my responsible friend.
NO!! new Emilie can't be dead?!
