I have spent the entire day (I got to the coffee shop at 11am and it is now almost 5 pm … and I will be here for a few more hours) being studious and working on my History paper and although it is about half way done I feel like I didn’t accomplish much. I have about 2 of 5 pages done although since I have only covered the first 2 modules and there are 4 more this paper might end up being well over the assigned 5 pages but, the professor said it was fine to go over. I have to make sure that I get at least a B+ on it because otherwise despite having an A in the class right now anything less than a B+ paper will fail me which makes NO sense at all but whatever! Kat will be here in less than 2 hours to help me get a grip on what the hell I am doing with my English paper so I guess I should keep working *sigh*.

School is trying to kill me
So next week is my final week of classes and all the papers and projects that are due are killing me! I have a Business project due the 17th (which is almost done with only a little missing information then it will be ready to create a final copy), a 6-8 page research paper for English on a topic of our choosing (bottle feeding and attachment parenting) due on the 18th (doing the formal outline now because the teacher is making us do it all drawn out) and a 5 page paper in History on a specific question with evidence from every chapter of the book due on the 20th (I have the introduction and first 2 chapters done on the outline).I also have my Math final on the 18th too so needless to say I am pretty overwhelmed right now by school. I have 1 week off before my summer semester starts and I am taking the next Math class I need .. it shouldn’t be too bad because it is only covering the last 3 chapters in the book that we are using now. To get ahead of my Sociology class this fall I have already ordered the 2 books that we will be reading off Amazon and hopefully my English books will be listed soon so I can order those too.
I have also been getting Kidlet ready for her school trip to D.C. in less than 2 weeks and trying to plan out my trip to Kentucky to see Jenn in July … things are just so crazy around here … I need to clone myself in order to get everything done.
Ready To Scream
So school has my head ready to explode and I am not even actually in classes for another 2 1/2 months wtf? I spent my day reviewing the course catalog & looking up all the classes that I need to take for my degree in Business Administration. I found a 5 classes that I want to take this semester and all but one of them are offered online. The one I actually have to go to is the required Basic Math class. I also got selected a bunch of alternative classes (all online) that I can take to fill other degree requirements.
I am starting to get concerned about my Math & Natural Science classes, a few of the social science classes & the accounting classes because they have math prerequisites that I have to meet and those are like 4 class levels away from where I am starting … so I don’t know how that is going to affect / delay the progress of my degree. This is the program that I want to be in but, I don’t know if I should change my program because of my Math issues. I am going to call the Admissions Office and talk to them today.
I also, had to deal with financial aid … which was fun NOT! One of my loans disappeared & because my tuition costs were estimated it looked like I was going to have to pay almost $1500 per semester so I freaked to say the least. Then I found out that I still have an old loan out from when I attended school in 2002 with a whopping balance of $25 but, the loan company nor the guarantor have a record of owning the account so I guess I have nobody to pay that too lol.
I also called & signed up for my registration & advisement session on the 29th which hopefully goes well. Though I will be calling an advisor today if my conversation with admissions doesn’t go well. New, I have to set up my student email but, I have to wait to get my paperwork for that in the mail (which advisement had to send out again because I never got it!).
So I am off to get my binder with all my school stuff organized & review the degrees offered just in case they tell me its best for me to switch .. which I hope doesn’t happen.
Oh Noes!
So. all week I have been trying to go get my placement testing done for school (at one of the two campuses) since next week I have jury duty and it has been a big ass fucking failure! I planned on going Tuesday but, I woke up with a raging migraine that made my left eye feel like it was going to pop. Wednesday, I didn’t think I had enough time to get home from the school before Kidlet would get home and I didn’t want to chance it. Today I woke up at 2:30am for some ungodly reason and couldn’t go back to sleep so I watched many creepy shows including Ghost Adventures and listened to it thundering outside, Then when I was going to start getting ready for my day I realized that it wasn’t just raining but, it was POURING so I wasn’t going out to play in the cold rain to wait for shitty public transit.
Now, hopefully tomorrow will be better! I got directions to where I am going from another student that I know so I look like I sort of have a clue lol. I have my clothes picked out and my paperwork together in my bag. The only thing I will need to do in the morning (other than shower etc.), is pack up my netbook & my cell charger since I am going to hang out tomorrow before picking Kidlet up from school. Also I have been awake for 15 hours and am exhausted but, I did take some Melatonin to hopefully help me sleep soundly tonight.
On that note I need to go lay the hell down lol.
I can haz break?
Things have been so hectic since mom’s hip replacement surgery! Kidlet has been sick through the whole thing so that hasn’t helped any either. She is now taking amoxicillan and is starting to feel better and the cough is going away.
Mom is slowly moving around more although when her PT person came the other day the lady just sat there and did no actual PT stuff. Mom just keeps getting frustrated and upset that she can’t do things that she would normally do without a problem.
I’ve been taking the bus after work each night to stay over because we don’t want to leave her alone all day yet. I’ve been getting there around midnight, going to bed at 2am then getting up by 6:30 at the latest so to say that I am exhausted is a total understatement!
I’m planning on going shopping Sunday with Kat since we both have the day off. Bill is giving me $100 this weekend for his rent so I will have $200 to buy stuff for Kidlet. I know that I am going to get her a few pairs of skinny jeans & maybe some shirts from Hot Topic. I think an iTunes or Barnes & Nobel gift card is a good idea as well. I think the stocking stuffers will be things like chapstick, lipgloss, body sprays & I can’t forget the candy 
Then there is this stuff that is going on with Keri & Bill. I feel like a kid stuck in the middle. She says that she isn’t pissed about Bill staying with me but, I know she is .. it’s all in the tone of her voice. She keeps pulling this shit where if I don’t talk to her she leaves me shitty messages but, fuck I am busy! I can’t talk at mom’s house at night for fear of waking everyone up, I can’t talk while I’m at work, I can’t talk while walking home because it is freezing out and otherwise I am busy taking care of my mom.
It’s funny though that she called Kat the other day with her abuse sob story amd Kat pretty much just shot her down lmfao! I don’t want to get in the middle of the drama .. I’m only worried about their daughter in all of this!
