Last day of class before Thanksgiving break. Which is really a couple days I have off anyway, because of my schedule, but whatever. Should be really entertaining. About half my Psych class wasn't there on Monday; today I expect only the other die-hards. Which is fine, because if only a few people show up, the prof hands out extra credit points to everyone who's there. Not that I need 'em, but still.
We started the chapter on Abnormal Psych last class, and we should finish it today. I am so, so annoyed that Abnormal Psych, the class, didn't work with what's laughably refered to as my schedule for next semester, because damn, that would've been cool.
'Course, it is a junior college, and we're limited in our upper-division classes, but still. They suck.
I still have just the one class for next semester, and it's driving me insane. What really pisses me off is that it's not even my fault. Stupid school... Why does this crap keep happening to me?
In other news, we've finally figured out what we're doing for Thanksgiving (thank you, Grandma, for finally getting it together there.) Mom and I are cooking the turkey in our brand spanking new oven, then wrapping it up and taking it over the freeway to Grandma's.
...And I just checked the listings for English classes for Spring again. No joy there. The Bible as Literature is open, so are both sections of the Fiction Writing class I dropped after one class meeting because the teacher was a hack. He's still teaching it, so that's a no. He's also teaching Intro to English Lit, damnit. I really, really hated that guy. "The only genre you may write in my class is Popular, none of this sci-fi or mystery or romance or whatnot, because everyone knows these are not genres anyway." And his examples of 'popular'? John Grisham and Stephen King.
*headdesk*
So anyway, not going there again.
Oh, that's cheerful. There's a Psych class called Youth Suicide I can fit into my schedule. Uh, no thanks...
Also, a note to the people who put the catalog online? Uh, guys, if you're going to change the class headings, (Computer classes went from Information Systems to Computer Info Systems, and are now Computer Info Tech) could you please take the old ones off the search page? Because I keep pulling up the old ones, and getting "no sections match search criteria" and I'm like, no one's teaching Computer Literacy? Get real...
Argh! Beginning Javascript, same time as my Finite Math. Bastards.
Bleh. Yeah, I definately need to swap my school stress for family stress for a few days. It'll make me feel so much better about everything. Really.
Okay, this is not helping. Let's think about something else. Like how I'm crazy enough to still be looking at the claims list for au100 about every other day going, "hmm, no one's claimed those ships I wanted yet..." I keep expecting one to turn up, but the other... well, I only know one other person who writes Moody/Penny, and she, unlike me, is nowhere near insane enough to even attempt this. I've kinda sorta promised myself that if I can get caught up on all my other writing crap, I can do it. I mean, I was good and didn't even sign up for NaNo, which turned out to be a good idea since I've been so busy and stressed this month anyway...
So if I can finish all the other stuff I should be writing (yes, this is your cue to laugh) I'll sign up. Once. Still having the great debate about that other pairing; one at a time is best, I think. Even I'm a little daunted by the idea of 200 fics, even if 100 words is the minimum...
I need to get a life. Seriously.
