And the Stupid Award goes to.....

Who ever was teaching my Monday night class for this semester. Wait, maybe I should rephrase that, whoever is teaching the class on Monday night that I was formerly enrolled in.

So I go into my school e-mail to check if there is any important messages from professors, seeing as how classes start in two days. Well what do you know, one of my professors has e-mailed the syllabus for this coming semester. I sadly love syllabi and I eagerly went to read it over. It had all the standard sections: campus policies, breakdown of topics covered, required texts, grading outline, etc.

A lovely little surprise was also added right underneath the teacher's name and office hours: COURSE REQUIREMENT/PRE-REQUISITES. I'm like WTF?!?! Pre-Reqs?! Apparently the teacher had recently changed the course or something, because since I had registered in may, a pre-req course was added for the current course I was enrolled in.

I realized that I would be unable to take said Monday night class and I had to frantically find a new one. After extensive discussions with my Tuesday job and one of the amazing people I work with (who graduated from my same master's program about two years ago)I was able to find a new class to take. It meets on Tuesday evenings which is a little crazy, but I have found a solution with my job that will allow me to work and go to school.

Amazingly, I'm actually more excited about my new class then the old one. The new one seems a lot more interesting and exciting. It's also and introduction class which usually tend to be a bit easier. Plus it's open to undergraduate students so it won't be so crazy. I think that the only reason that I didn't originally register for this class was that it was on Tuesday nights and I was worried about work.

Slightly Productive....

Here is a list of all of the things I have accomplished today so far......

1) Managed to get out of bed before 10 a.m.
When you work late and don't get home until at least 1 a.m. getting up early is quite the difficult task.

2) Took the dog to the dog park
Also a slightly difficult task when you are not yet fully awake and are being dragged all over the place in Mequon

3) Started to pack for my vacation on Wed.
I am not able to fully pack due to the fact that I don't leave for a few days and still need to use certain things. But, since I work Wed. morning until right before we leave, I felt the need to at least have most of my stuff ready to go.

I still want to get a little more laundry/packing done today. I also need to clean a little more of my room and run to the library before I go hang out with people tonight?

Think I can get it done? I'm optimistic about the outcome.....

Planning Does Not Work

So I had a meeting at Pizza Hut this morning which totally sucked. Why they seemed to think we would all be awake and coherent at 8:30 in the morning is beyond me. We had to learn how to make a new kind of pizza that is coming out soon. Don't get me wrong the Pizza tastes really good and will probably sell really well but,........8:30 in the morning? Really?! I just think that the time was a little crazy and ridiculous.

Well, that ended at about 10:00 this morning, and since then I've been kinda......yeah. It's only me and the little one at home and I'm really really really bored. I was planing on going for a bike ride today but I don't think that is going to happen after all. Which kinda really sucks because for as much as I bitch and complain while I'm riding, I actually enjoy riding down to the Art Museum and back.

So, now that I have nothing to do, I'm pretty much just sitting at home. The Packer game starts at 7! Yeah! So I'm just chilling until I get to watch pre-game stuff. Unless I have to work at 6, then I'll watch the game later, or at least watch what is left of it after work.

Advice

I have been very stressed out over the past few days. Not only have various things pop up that have been unwanted and unexpected, but stuff just has not been going the way I want them to.

When I was at work last night, I was talking to one of the guys and he gave me great advice. I mean it was something I already knew in a way, but hearing it from someone else seemed to really help me. He told me that no matter how much I want something to change or go a different way, it won't always happen. There are some things that we as people can change, but there are also somethings in life that are out of our control. There are also a lot more serious problems out in the world that need attention more then something as little and petty as what might be bothering me.

My only irritating bit about the whole situation that occurred last night was that when you tell someone you most likely can do something for them, don't let them know your answer at the last possible minute. Not only does said person do things for you all the time, but you never seem to be able to return the favor. If you didn't want to do it don't tell me you can and then wait until the last moment, the night before, to say "no I can't some "stuff" came up". Especially when I know from other people that that "stuff" is another stupid concert.

And so it begins......

I have something new to freak out about. I know it has been a while, so try to hide your excitement, but I once again have something that is making me freak out and stress out more then is probably necessary.
