ohmygod, school. already it is giving me unwanted stress, though when is stress ever welcomed with open arms? except perhaps as a way to distract me from the fact that i've been alone for over a week. completely, depressingly alone. the two of them went off to their respective second homes for the summer -the university of toronto campus for ciss and alberta, where the oil fields are- and he went on his carribbean vacation with miami and mexico thrown in for good measure. i haven't had anyone to call for days except of course i still try, dialing their numbers at odd hours and listening to their phones ring and ring and ring, knowing they won't pick up no matter how tightly my fingers are crossed. he's coming home today, thank my stars. anyway, i missed the start time for course registrations by an hour. it slipped my mind completely so that i didn't even forward myself my finalized prospective timetable, which meant feverishly scrolling down the course calendar hoping to stumble onto the ones i'd picked out. it wasn't easy, let me tell you, considering i had maybe twenty courses shortlisted. i wasn't able to get into three courses i need to fulfill credit requirements but it is done, i have my class schedules for the fall and winter, and i am praying that i don't foolishly drop any. my entire academic career is precariously built, barely standing, like a deck of cards threatening to tip over and will fall apart entirely if i decide to pull out of even one half-credit course.
