Tip of the day…

Hold yourself accountable for things.

This is the situation:  My grades from college were due a week ago…well…after much delay they were finally released, etc.  BUT BUT BUT one of my professors decided that he was above the law and didn’t record the grades for the ENTIRE class.  So this means I have a big fat NR on my grade report and an incomplete record with the registrar for this quarter.  So obv I am pissed and upset.  So i spent a ton of time on the phone with some bitch at the office and she tried to make it my fault…which it isn’t.  I earned an A+ in the course and was finished with it before exams even started…so not my fault…esp when the whole class doesn’t have grades.  I also realize that its not exactlty here fault either…but FACULTY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR JOB/ACTIONS/ETC.  So….when grades are due and a professor does not turn them in…I would only think/hope/whatever that the registrar’s office is concerned and gets on the phone to try and see what the hell is up.  But nope, not where I go to school.

So now it is a waiting game.  That professor may be spending the whole summer being drunk at his home in Massachusetts…or he could bust his balls, do his job, and report my grades.  SOB!

So…I could potentially be left off of the dean’s list for this quarter because he didn’t turn them in in time.  BARGLE.  If that’s the case…fear the wrath of crouts.

College Town

I am back to school, well college actually.  I am a big boy now…lol.  I arrived yesterday at noon, unloaded, dad and I went uptown to grab lunch and books, and then we came back here for a bit.  We talked, unpacked a little, and then he left and returned home.  I unpacked alllllll afternoon.  But, I got everything put away and organized.  I also cleaned from 7 weeks worth of empty room dirt.  But I got it all done, and all is good.

Then I met up with some friends and reunited after a very long break.  It was terrific.   We exchanged Christmas gifts and then went to dinner.  We later went to a friends apartment and chatted and played games.  We returned to campus about midnight.  It was so awesome to be out that late the night before classes start.  Campus was dead and all…but we were out and it was fun.  I don’t have class till 11am, so it works out fine…and I love it.

I am finally living the college lifestyle:  Earliest class is 11, and I don’t have friday classes.  woot!

But, I am off to meet some people before we walk to class, and then I have a full, busy day of class.  This week should be good, fun, and fast.  I have friends in classes, and I like it.  I am excited and doing MUCH better now that I am back on campus.

Hello, Goodbye

As soon as break started, it is over.  7 weeks flew by.  I had a great time.  I honestly did.  Work, money, family, a wee bit of fun, and some R&R time.  I got to clear my mind and literally take a break for a while.  I needed it.  I also spent some quality time with my mother.  We had a great time together over break and I really enjoyed it.  Lots of fun little trips.  Plus, the holidays, presents, Christmas time, etc.  It was good.

I am done packing now, minus the last minute things in the morning.  I am planning on heading out VERY early to be at school by lunch time.  Unpacking and re-adjusting all afternoon, and then hopefully re-uniting with friends in the evening.  I am still experiencing mixed emotions, but I think I will get over it shortly…or at least I hope.  I am excited for college atmosphere again, friends, social activities, classes with friends and meals together.  But, I am dreading being a lone, bored, depressed, and stranded during WINTER.  bleh.

In other news, my phone decided to power off randomly repeatedly today.  So, basically it isn’t functioning.  SO, I spoke to foreign ppl all afternooon and so did my step dad.  We also stopped by a store to try and resolve it.  no luck.  So, in 5 business days, I will hopefully be recieving a funcitoning, new phone in the mail.  w00t.   Until then, I am hoping it will work.

wish me luck in all of these endeavors.  Hopefully the move goes well and it is a good quarter.  It will be hard to control my emotions as I leave home and say goodbye to mom tomorrow morning, but I will have to be a man and deal with it.  I have become such a fuddy duddy, baby, and a homebody of late.  I hate it.   I need change…and perhaps some help.

Until I get settled at college and find the time to blog again,
