Grain of sand on the back

I’m feeling a little down right now. I’m guessing part of it is the busy schedule that I have given myself. I say that, but I’m not in University, so it is probably nothing compared to a real student. I’m just tired, and the long weekend wasn’t enough.
Yesterday I decided to put my self esteem on the line again and try some speed dating. I have better hope for this time because the age categories worked more in my favor.
And I met some nice women. There was one that I really thought I hit it off with. She was easy to talk to and interesting. So my hopes were up. Then after the event, when it was just a social, I saw her holding court with a bunch of men. So I have to assume that she was just charismatic and everyone likes her. So, hope for the best, plan for the worst.
It is getting depressing though.
I just got back from an improv class, and it was nice today because a lot of people were missing. More intimate and more attention from the instructor. But once again there is a feeling of lack of progress on my part. The teacher can always point out something that I should have done that would have made the scene better. But then he has a lot more experience.
And when you are tired, everything piles up, and things that would normally wash off your back become the popcorn stuck in the teeth.
I’ll feel better tomorrow.
