Today was quite an interesting day.
Last night I couldn't sleep because I got an email AFTER I got home from work saying that I should have turned in my take-home quiz that I had missed (since I was sick on Monday) if I wanted to get credit for it. I went to bed last night just completely frustrated and wanting to just give-the-fuck-up. I ended up having to take cough medicine to stop my coughing fits and knock myself out so I could sleep and get up for class. I was (--) that close to getting online last night and just dropping my chemistry class. (A little melodramatic, don't you think?!)
But anywho, I got up, showered and went to class anyway. Found out my grade wasn't as bad as I thought but was enough to bring me almost to tears remembering my frustration from the night before, and that it's not too late to bring it up. I asked my teacher if it was still possible, she looked at me like I was an idiot, like, "no shit." So I felt better.
Walked across the street to get food and my card was declined. I about left my food because I had no way of paying, and the lady behind me paid for my lunch. I wanted to hug her, but I thought that would be weird, so I thanked her profusely and high-tailed it out of there. I felt like a complete moron.
Met up with my sister and a friend back in one of the lounges and proceeded to break down not only about the stress of the current semester but the fact that I'm going to have to pay out-of-pocket next semester (I had to drop my Psych class and because of that, I'm losing my financial aide for the semester. I had an agreement with Financial Aide that I had to have a 100% completion rate with C's or better) and I have no idea how I'm going to do that. Cried for a good 15 minutes and finally ate my food (which I had lost my appetite for). I'm glad I ate it though... but they day got sooooooooo much better.
Went to the library while my sister and our friend went to class, then my sister met up with me. I registered for a couple classes next semester anyway, and my sister said that she's going to help me pay for it. Joked around with her a bit. (It's really good to hang out with her and NOT fight). We went and grabbed lunch for her before she headed home and I headed to calculus.
One the way, I met Colada FINALLY after being a creeper every time I ever saw her on campus. Then I sat outside the new Science Building solo and just watched people walk by, organized my planner and planned out the last few weeks of school. (People watching for me has such a calming affect... and it helps me put things into perspective).
I have to say, after calculus class today, it's the first time that I've felt like I really know what I'm doing. I'm feeling so much more confident with school, even tho we're in our last three weeks or so. I just feel so much better. Talked with classmates before class. My mom gave me money to put in my account and she bought my kids food and litter.
And to think this morning started out so sour. Funny how things can change in the course of a day.
Muchos besos!
