Holy shit..
Just when I thought everything stressful was crashing down around me all at once, it all works out. God damn.
To start at the beginning: Last week I finished a speedy summer math class, MAT030, or "Stupid Math". By the time I was finished I didn't realize there was one week until the Fall semester began. I had no plans for my classes, and no books, and a very complex class situation going on. I've finished almost everything except Math and Science. I can't do any science classes until I pass MAT120, and I can't pass MAT120 until I pass MAT090, which I can't register for until I either pass MAT060, or test past MAT060. MAT030, 060, and 090 don't count toward my degree, only 120. And MAT120 is a prerequisite for every Science class. So I was left with picking out a few electives and going on with the next math class, MAT060.
At the same time.. My adviser is not giving me any real advice, my college credit account has $900 left, my mother's aunt, who has been SAINTLY enough to fund my entire college education thus far, has been unable to send more money because of the economy, which I totally don't blame her for, I'm just grateful she's kind enough to send me all this money. She doesn't have to, but she does, and it's thanks to her I've gotten this far. But because of the economy she can't send anymore, and my FAFSA has been screwed up for awhile because somehow, someone got the idea that I have a Bachelor's degree, which makes me ineligible for FAFSA. So that needs to be redone at some point in time.
To recap: I need to complete three separate math classes to get into the required math class that will give me credits for my math requirement, and make me eligible for Science classes. I am on Step #2 of the math classes. Everything else is finished except for a few electives, and when I called my adviser asking which electives I could take, she pointed me to the school's website which had a shortened list of electives. Useless.
Finally, all this shit took a turn for the better. I found a MAT060 class that requires the book I bought for my summer class, which means I have one less textbook to pay for. Not only that, but two of the electives I picked, Philosophy 115 and 116 use the same textbook that I bought like two semesters ago for my Comparative Religion class. Another textbook down! AND, none of these classes start on the 17th, like I thought they did. My soonest class starts the 21st, the others start on the 31st. WHEW. So I get to save some money on textbooks, and I get a breather in between my classes. This helps the money situation a little, which is good. My mother's aunt will send more money in October I'm told, but in the meantime, I'm going to start looking at scholarships.
One of the scholarship questions was my sexual orientation. There were so many weird questions. One was a question about club association or something, and one of the clubs was 'The Association of Blind Athletes'. Wtf. xD
I. Feel. so. Much. Better.
EDIT.
Alright, I dropped my religion classes. I replaced them with a creative writing class and a Social Psychology class. Buuut my creative writing class doesn't require a book, so my book situation is pretty much the same. Awesome~
