The school countdown is on: 2.5 weeks

Okay, I have an hour long presentation to do tomorrow for my Psyc class, and I'm finding that I'm less anxious about it than I thought I would be. I'm not sure why, and I think this is a good thing. The only thing I'm concerned about is the class participation discussion question part because my class is not very easy to get talking!! I think I may have to bribe with treats - I was going to bake cookies, buuuut there is really no time for that! If only I didn't have to work all day tomorrow, I'd have so much more time to make this a rockin presentation with cookies to complete it. Oh well - store-bought candy will have to do! Wish me luck :)

Also - today was the most gorgeous day ever! It was so sunny and clear, and even though the wind was cold, it was so beautiful. I ate my lunch in a secluded sunny spot outside a little cafe, and I felt WARM. My cheeks were getting hot, and I had to take off my coat! It made me soo happy. Oh winter, how I dread your arrival! Why can't we just bypass it and have summer again!

I think I might be getting sick again, although randomly only one side of my throat is sore, and the same side ear is sore also. Weird.

university hates me

I think that the university has something against me. Seriously. I have been trying to graduate for months, but they just won't let me!! Originally it was my plan to finish my classes in the summer, and then I could graduate. Oh, but wait, one of three classes I needed (a 400-level Psyc class) was not offered AT ALL in the summer. None. Zero. Zilch. Okay, fine, I took electives instead, which I still needed.

Now, I'm going back to school in September to finish. I still need to work, so I scheduled my 400-level Psyc around my work schedule. I received an email today that said that course has been canceled! What. the. hell!!!! There are only two other classes that aren't right smack in the middle of the day - one of which I'm uninterested in, the other which is Mon, Wed, Thurs from 3:30-4:20, which cuts my workday even shorter and now all the electives I'm on the waitlist for don't work!!!! WHY WHY WHY?!?

This is so ridiculously unnecessary! Don't other students have to work?? So frustrating!!
