I got an email from my advisor simmering with disapproval that I didn't start my practicum hours. Which of course I didn't, because I was waiting for him and the site person to say when to start the hours.

I thought I should have started sooner, but if I had asked, he would have told me I should read the packet. Which I did: nothing about starting the schedule was in the packet. A lot of information isn't in the packet, but I get the air that I should know anyway. It's my fault: if I weren't so stupid or lazy and if I had chosen to be more responsible, I would know what to do.

My general system is if I don't know what to do, I wait until either I figure it out by myself or someone gets mad at me for not acting sooner. That way I only get in trouble 90% of the time instead of 100% of the time for bothering people with stupid questions or being inconsiderate.
