i can't sleep because i royally fucked up and i can't stop thinking about it. I was supposed to take 2 design courses THIS semester...turns out I'm a tard cuz I read the papers that said arc313 and arc321 were co-requisites but it just didn't register what exactly that entails. from what i've heard from ppl in that class, the prof is insane and already had 3 readings due for the FIRST DAY OF CLASS, and she posted the outline for the first assignment 3 days before school even started because ppl were supposed to start working on it before school even began!! So really if I enroll now i'm already over a week behind. the assignment is due next friday =S. i gotta talk to the registrar and see if there's any way i can take this course next year...i doubt it, especially since there are still 2 spaces left, but it's worth a shot if i plead my case. problem is i don't have a good excuse, saying that "i didn't know" is no acceptable so i'm probably just gonna have to work my ass off to catch up. i know it's a fuckin long shot but if i don't try i know i'll regret it. but fuck i can't sleep. i have to work tomorrow and enjoy the last somewhat free weekend i'm gonna have till the end of the semester. every waking moment i'll be living and breathing school. fuck.
as it is i have to call in sick for work on sunday so that i can go to a work session with my group for a presentation we have to do on monday...that was another thing i fucked up on. i missed my very first class of this year and at the time i thought whatever it's only the first class they're just gonna give us the syllabus and send us on our way but of course that's not what really happened....instead my prof gave out the first assignment and made everyone get into groups...just finding a group at all was tough enough and happened only by chance really.
then spending $2300 on a macbook pro seemed like a GREAT decision, it was something i really needed and EVERYONE was telling me this is the best computer for me especially for design. i thought i did the most thorough research, and i did, in terms of pricing and quality. what i didn't consider was that the prime computer program that i use, autocad, is not made in a mac format. of ALL the fuckin programs out there THIS is the one they didn't make for both pc and mac. WTF I hadn't even considered that. so it seemed that all was lost until rachel told me about a few tricks...but if we hadn't reconnected in the past few days, thanks to jean, i wouldn't have know about any of that. i was seriously thinking i just wasted over 2gs
this school year has just not gotten off to a good start at all. i'm motivated or at least prepared to put in the effort i should have been giving school all this time but it looks like i fucked it up in just a few little steps. this upcoming week is gonna quite interesting =S
and i gotta get some fuckin sleep!
