You're invited....to my pity party
What a year in the trials and tribulations of Manda B. So yesterday, curious because I hadn’t heard anything about graduation, I logged into the school system. Imagine my surprise when I found that they had NO application for graduation on file for me….Uh, what? I distinctly remember applying and talking to my roommates about it, “Boy, it feels good to apply for graduation! We’re almost DONE!” Suddenly that has all disappeared. I’m SUPPOSED to graduate in a month, but apparently the school doesn’t know that. Shouldn’t someone have noticed I have the full amount of credits needed? That I didn’t register for classes? I called and e-mailed some lady in the Registrar’s office, but apparently she is gone until Friday.
Last night, I mean, this morning, I finished my business plan. I worked on it from 3 in the afternoon until 7:30 this morning straight. I’ve never seen so many signs from God that I shouldn’t do his.
1. The company that I planned to manufacture part of my product’s website disappeared, after 53 years of business, 6 of them on the internet, they just disappear the day I’m writing my plan??
2. My main competitor’s page ALSO disappeared. It wasn’t only me, I asked others to look up the sites and they got the same result I did. “Pages not found”
3. My computer FREAKED out in the middle of working. It took me at least 45 minutes to get it working again and I ended up losing a few pages worth of material and had to rewrite them from scratch.
4. My bibliography, which I was doing on easybib.com ended up giving me a ton of sql errors and not working.
5. FINALLY I finished all the typing and went to print the document. My printer decided to jam and eat every page I sent through it after that.
6. After 30 minutes I get the printer working, I print the first document. Surprise, surprise, I’m out of ink now!
7. I run to Wal-mart and grab some ink. I don’t notice I grabbed color ink until I get all the way home.
8. RETURN to Wal-Mart, the sun is already up, it’s past 6 am. I call in sick to work.
9. Print out the document, finally. The formatting is all off, but I don’t care.
10. Sleep for exactly an hour and a half
11. Run to the copy place to get it bound. They didn’t have covers or backs and just had the cheap plastic binding. Whatever, I just want this DONE.
12. It’s now 10 a.m. I sleep for an hour and 45 minutes then head to school.
I can’t wait to see what the rest of the day brings.
