555: I don't care for teenage attitudes.
It really gets on my nerves when grown adults act like kids. I don't mind if it comes out in random spurts as a means of humor and comedy, but when it's a part of someone's nature it really bugs me. It's a major pet peeve of mine, to say the least.
It's not even a week into school and I'm already stressed out all the time. I hadn't realized that changing majors after registration would be so stressing, alas it is. I've gotten into all of the classes that I need, most by way of miracle, except for one very vital class: COMM 101.
Last night, there was only one section open, a Saturday morning section. Reluctant to enroll in that one and hope a weekday section would open, the weekday section I've been crashing, I decided to pass on taking the Saturday class and give it more thought. After careful consideration, I figured, "Hell, what else would I do on a Saturday morning?" So, I ultimately decided that I would give the Saturday morning class a shot.
Here's the rub: the section is no longer open. The only section that is open now is a Monday-Wednesday night class, with late Mondays. The personal conflict lies in the fact that I'm a Monday regular at Gypsy Den open mics, and I'd lose any opportunity to perform and sing publicly for several weeks. Petty, yeah. The realistic conflict lies in the fact that, well, I've already enrolled in a very major class on Wednesday nights (COMM 233), and I fought so very hard to get into that class that dropping it would be a very bad idea. So, this is what I've to look forward to: every single free moment for the next week-and-a-half continually refreshing TITAN Online until the class I need opens up, if it ever does...which is just piling up all the stress I can take until I burst.
At least it's a productive distraction from things that would otherwise make me non-productive.
I'm really happy with the way my schedule is turning out, despite all the stress over one much needed class. I don't have one single morning class so far, which means I've got time at night to de-stress, go to the bar, and be around my bar staff, which has been a big source of motivation for me to do well. I've got time to sleep-in a little bit, I'm more alert during my classes, and I feel really good about myself right now.
