Good- I got to play 18 holes of disc golf at a nearby course that I don't play very often. While I was playing, I was approached and invited to a disc golf tournament... and on the last hole- I was being watched by the fellow who invited me and some other players- I made a long putt- and they all cheered when it went in.

Bad- I felt embarrassed and on edge in my early class today, and I'm afraid everyone noticed.

When the fellow asked me if I'd like to play in a tournament this is how it went
Me (out loud)- Well, I'm not sure if I'll have the time, I'm a master's degree student.

Me (in my head) - damn that sounded pretentious- why didn't you just say you were a student? Why did you have to tell him you are pursuing a master's degree? (I'm pursuing a master's degree).
