Saturday I was supposed to go to orientation and take my placement test to determine my prerequisites. Couldn't do that because orientation is only held the first Saturday of every month. Couldn't take the test because you have to have orientation first. Not to mention, you couldn't do either without the acceptance letter, which I did not yet have. Bummer. Move things around, adjust. ok.
Acceptance letter came in the mail Saturday. Just waiting on highschool transcripts. Monday, get ready for orientation, get into parking space, calendar all organized... I need change for the visitor parking? I dig through my purse, I find just about a dollar's worth of change, but since it's not all in quarters, it doesn't amount to an hour. I needed 1.5 hours. I didn't have the time to get more change, and I thought about 'risking it'. I looked at the car next to me. It had a yellow ticket on it. I leave the parking lot in search of change, but alas, rush hour traffic has the place stopped up, and nothing within shouting distance (that I know of) to get change.
Fine. I can switch my schedule around... again. I've had about 2 or so weeks of this. Couldn't go to dance class last week because of my headlights, couldn't get through this thing or that thing... and I'm just so glad that anxiety doesn't have the hold on me like it used to. By now, I would have given up on school. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well, and it's worth fighting for.
I decided I was going to do the much needed laundry and grocery shopping. I came home from that, and my transcripts from high school (from the ARCHIVES) had come in the mail. Yay.
Now all I have to do is go to orientation, go take the test, and try to apply for financial aide. I plan on doing the last part tonight. Sometimes I make things bigger in my mind than they truly are. For some reason, the application for financial aide seems like a really big obstacle for me. When I get home from work today, I plan on filling out the online FAFSA and going from there.
Tonight, I have bellydancing class!
Oh, and Sunday, Dusty and I went to the Universal Light Expo. I had some chocolate wowie cake, but it wasn't so 'wowie' this time. They changed their recipe. I don't care for it as much. Plus, they are too expensive now.
But, we got our feets rubbed, our backs rubbed and I bought some incense and a bar of soap. It smelled really good.
I want my feet rubbed again.
And my quote for the day at the ULE is, "I believe I was just lustfully looked upon by a monk."
This weekend I am going to watch my nephews and let my sister go out with her fiancé. I miss my boys, and I want a chance to do something nice for my sister.
Ok, gotta get ready for work. It's yucky out.
~poke poke~
I have a parking permit for CSCC if you'd like to borrow it some Saturday. Of course it'd have to be this quarter (as it's an SU quarter pass). Besides, the meters there tend to be either full or broken and they ticket you anyway.
