A quick account of things in my life not making sense...
So, I have to get a physical before school starts in August to prove that I won't give the kids TB or some other disease. I understand that, and I don't mind doing it - they even have a form to take with us to make it easier to get proof and make sure everything gets done. Hooray for the student teaching physical.
Of course, I wait until the last two weeks of summer school to schedule that appointment - *cough*procrastinator*cough, cough*. I call, today, to schedule (just got off the phone, actually), and she actually knows what I'm talking about when I say I need a student teaching physical - which surprises me, because they didn't last time I did this (remember, I was supposed to do my student teaching in 2004, but became temporarily retarded and dropped out of school) and it took me forever to get the appointment right. This excites me.
For about ten seconds.
UNFORTUNATELY, they only do appointments in the MORNINGS.
Sounds like I'm being a whiny bitch, right - "oh, wah, I don't wanna get up in the morning, boo-hoo". While that is entirely possible, my main problem is that I have class from 8am-1pm all summer - wouldn't you know it, the exact times they have appointments. *grumble* And I have to come in on two separate days, 3 days apart, due to the TB test.
I don't fault the woman making the appointment. She even said at one point, "I don't know why they do this - they need to have afternoon openings..." after I told her I have class every day from 8-1 (as is the nature of summer school). She was very sympathetic, and I (luckily) had time free during the reading day before exams, and during what is supposed to be the end of my tennis final (we have a take-home, so I should be fine).
Some people might wonder why I didn't go in the beginning of the summer, before I had class. Well, my friends, UNC student health only covers you for the semesters/sessions in which you are enrolled full-time. Thus, since I was not enrolled in classes last summer session, I would have had to pay $50 just to get an appointment. So, it wouldn't have mattered if I'd called at the very beginning of the summer to schedule an appt, the only time I could have come in would be next Wednesday at 9 and next Friday at 10:15.
I'm just glad they weren't closed on the reading day... lucky me, I suppose.
Oh, and a PS - I really hate needles and physicals, what with the pain and the stupid questions and all. At least with a tattoo, I get something pretty to show off later. The only thing I've ever gotten from a vaccine is a scar that everyone assumes is a hickey... *sigh* (Oh, and maybe protection from bygone diseases...)
