I have some good news finally and some stuff to look forward to this week :)
Yesterday was like the day that everything fixed itself up for me lol, it was soooo weird really cuz that almost never happens but I'm so glad that it did. I've been having problems getting my schedule for grad school. They kept insisting that I needed to wait till the first week of classes to get registered (does that make sense to anyone?) And this was messing me up because I need to be registered to accept my financial aid loans (scary), buy a parking permit (they are gone fast), get out of jury duty (they sent me a summons for August 22, the Friday before I start school) and for my fall work schedule.
So, I let my advisor know that I needed to do this beforehand, too many things were riding on me knowing. And really what is the difference if they tell me now or then? Annoying.
So around a week ago or so, he tells me, okay I'll get back to you in a day or two with your classes.
More than a day or two, or three or five passes and I'm like ugh! I email him yesterday around noon at work and I say, I'm sorry if you're busy but I wanted to know if you've gotten around to looking at my program of study yet. And amazingly he emails me like an hour later telling me what I need, and not to be bashful about asking for my schedule (I don't think I was bashful, I've been practically stalking the man this summer lol).
So I'm like great! I can register! So I get online when I get home to register and I register for 2 out of 3 (three classes is full time for grad students I guess) and I'm blocked for the third and I'm like dammit! But I call the adminstrative assistant at the Psych Department and she fixes it in like a minute for me :) and she gives me some other info I need.
So I'm like yay! Now onto the parking permit. I call the office and ask if I can still renew my parking (that's how horrible the parking is there). And they're like well, you were supposed to renew that a month ago...they sold out a month ago. And I'm like well I would but your system wouldn't let me because I wasn't registered yet. And she goes through my info and she says oh, well we received your form to reserve your parking permit, so it's all ready for you and they'll arrive in about two weeks. I didn't even know my form had gotten through cuz no one bothered to get back to me....YAY!
And Erick helped me with accepting my loan online and stuff...yay!!! So that all gave me a happy.
Small good things have happened and I'm oh so grateful :) I got to finally spend some time with Erick today and just veg out watching Superbad and a Kevin Smith special. I got some new Converse today; it's been raining all day too.
I'm gonna send out some stuff this week. Yay for mail!
I should be receiving stuff soon too, like some comic books I ordered, Batman the animated series Vol 2, a video game for my nephew etc.
Many thanks to Miranda for saving me that EW Twilight cover :D I wasn't able to find it ANYWHERE here.
And Breaking Dawn comes out on Saturday! So if you don't hear from me for awhile, you know where I'll be!
Goodnight!
