Day 74 - How to punch yourself in the face.
The first step to punching yourself in the face is to fall asleep while your two-year-old is watching television and your chapstick is on the bedside table. The next step would be to situate yourself so that your arm will totally fall asleep. Step three would be to wake up and realize that your two-year-old now had your chapstick in your bed and is digging their fingers into it. Finally, use all your force to grab quickly for the chapstick.
So, what? I don’t get how you’d punch yourself.
Well, remember, your arm is totally asleep so, while you use your shoulder to fling your arm and reach for the chapstick, it is so asleep that your hand, as if in slow motion, goes right for your face. Your brain and your muscles try to stop it but there is nothing that can be done. It is too late and you end up punching yourself in the eye. Hard enough to leave a red mark on your eye ball.
Fitting perfectly with this morning was I found out that I may not be able to go to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. They sent me my degree audit but they are only accepting 37 credits. Which means that I am entering their school at a beginning sophomore level, when in reality I should only have about 45 credits left, but no, I’d have 88 (FYI, it is 125 credits for a BA at SMWC).
I wrote them to ask if this is correct. Essentially they are saying the they will not accept my AA degree. If this is true, I’ll have to put school on hold. I can’t go there, that’s for sure.
If it’s correct, I’d want to go to UW but I can’t until the kids are older so I would just be working on my writing until I can finish my degree. I’m so bummed out. I’m still waiting for more information but I’m pretty ticked.
