rainy days.
I am going to list things which are inane:
Paying almost sixty dollars a month for birth control pills while men who can't get hard get their insurance to pay for their Viagra.
Professors who tell me, "You can only miss X number of classes before I'll have to dock your grade, because after missing X number of classes you will fall completely and unequivocally behind in the class and be unable to catch up." And then when I miss X number of classes and do just fine and get A's on all my assignments, they dock my grade anyways. If *I* can miss 6 classes and be fine, why should I be punished for being quick on the uptake just because some other yahoo can't catch up after missing 2? I think, when I'm a professor, the students can miss as many as they can catch up with. If that happens to be 10, well, I guess that's just fine then.
Paying Montclair $300 for a gym credit which is mandatory and in which I'll get tested on the Electric Slide.
My town being so flooded that I have to take detours for half an hour before I can figure out how to escape it.
Worrying about my $10,000 wedding bill when J. is getting through a bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. owing nothing and which would otherwise have cost him about $120,000, and I'm getting handed a free bachelor's and minimally a free first year of a Ph.D., which would have set us back about $60,000. I mean, we're almost $200,000 ahead of the game, not counting interest on student loans which we didn't need. I don't think our wedding bill will kill us too much, do you?
Me stupidly spending all day Sunday in bed and then, so high my head is spinning, being unable to sleep for the entire night before my full day of classes.
Sigh.
Miss my J.
