My LAB for this course is in the fucking FARM.
If I wanted to be a goddamned farmer, I wouldn't need a fucking degree!!!!
I'm going to be writing a rather scathing letter to the registars office/dean. >.<
Now that that's off my chest...
Lijah and I haven't been getting much time together lately, and I'm really starting to feel the effects. That sort of crushing depression that makes it so hard to get out of bed in the morning. *sigh*
I scrubbed the floors on my hands and knees last night, and spent quite awhile cleaning tonight, finally have everything but the laundry taken care of, but that will have to wait until Sunday. -.-
I'm not feeling very well, can you tell?
