Hokay! So Friday morning I didn't go to school because I am a slacker but I didn't really feel that well. Kind of a creeping in headache, so I slept in and didn't go. You may say, "It's only the second week of classes." and to this I reply, "It's a free country, I can do what I want." So Monday morning after a horrendous night of noisy neighbors blasting their radio until 4 a.m. I drift off into oblivion. Monday morning I wake up at 9:30, already half way through my class and almost late for work. So I naturally, I don't go for the second class day in a row.
I'm sitting in the bank drive through already a little late for work and my cell phone rings, I answer. It's my team teaching partner, Sandy, from the class I missed. She tells me she was worried that I had dropped the class because I wasn't there for the past two days. I inform her, "No, I can't drop this class. I have to have it. Friday I was 'sick' and today I just overslept. I'm sorry to make you worry." This is kind of irritating to me because she is one of those overachieving, "I've gone back to school to teach" women who has children but doesn't work or do anything except for wash clothes and clean house and blah blah blah. Believe me, I know this is hard because my mother was one of those women. I know it's stressful, but she goes to school 4 hours a day, goes home to cook, clean, or whatever and then spends the rest of her night doing homework and her other two days off as well. I on the other hand, have two jobs, and go to school full time. The only free night I have off during the week is Monday. I have class and work every other night. I'm off Friday and Saturday night, but one of those nights in just a fun night for me. Come on, you've got to have one.
So this morning I wake up, check my email. Dr. Adams has emailed me telling me he is worried about my attendance and so is my partner. I cannot leave her out to dry on this assignment. I don't leave people out to dry! I do most of the work normally. So this again irritates me, almost pissing me off. I have no idea why or even if it should, but it does. I missed two freaking days and she's freaking out and he's lecturing me.
Ugh!
