Made a TOTAL fool of myself -- but it kept me from missing lessons, so I can deal with it.
[Chat Log]
I don't know if you remember, but I've always had a terrible time telling the difference between 12 and 19 in Russian
Ha ha
And it's not that I don't know the difference
But when people aren't enunciating them just right, and when my brain is being lysdexic -- well, it happens that I get them mixed up
So
I was thinking I had lessons tomorrow [Thursday] at 19:30
I messaged Vitaly earlier today, asking about lessons on Friday
Then, he didn't respond
And so I messaged him one more time -- but I was tired, and somehow thought tomorrow was Friday, I guess -- so I added the word "tomorrow" to my question
Vitaly tells me he thought we already agreed for 12:30
So I'm TOTALLY confused now
And I'm like, "I didn't know we already agreed!"
And it's not like me to forget a lesson
And so then, still thinking I'm talking about Friday, I'm asking for a later time
And a secondafter I send that message
The safe is dropped on my head
I think to myself, "Caitlan... You are SUCH an idiot." [Which is to say, I put it all together -- the 12 vs. 19 mistake; when I thought I was asking about lessons and what Vitaly was talking about, etc…]
So I message Vitaly back, and tell him: 1. I thought I was talking about Friday; 2. I thought we said 19:30, not 12:30 - please forgive
So, I look like a total fool right about now -- but at least I won't miss my lessons tomorrow
I've also decided that I'm playing Baseball with Vitaly at this point. And what I mean by that is that I'm using the "three strikes, you're out" rule
He'd better not be late tomorrow, or that is strike 2.
