Ahhh...the first day of school...

[regala_electra]

is a frellin' mess.

I need to drop and add a course. However the course that I really want to take, Milton, is completely full. And there is no other class around that time that I would consider taking. Dammit.

I just...I'm really mad at myself. I should have enrolled in the class last semester but I didn't want to because I'm taking two very difficult English courses...well, difficult for me. I'm a wiz at Shakespeare, Medieval, and Renaissance, but I'm not too good at modern literature. "Modern" being anything set during the 1800's.

And now, it looks like I have no chance of taking this class. I left a note in the prof's mailbox, asking if there was any potential for an opening, but no answer so far.

God, I feel sick now.

And I've also spent 87 bucks on only the first installment of books I need. A couple of them were just too fucking expensive ($15 plus for a paperback novel? you out your damn mind) so I didn't buy them yet and several of the books I need are out of stock or are just not there.

I only have $100 left to spend.

Breathe. This is just the first day of school. I will be okay.

And in less-interesting-but-why-can't-they-just-go-somewhere-else news, I saw someone who went to my high school, who's now going to my college. Heh, I say "mine" like I own it. If I owned it, then I'd be in the damn Milton class.

Not to sound bitchy, but I hate it when I see someone from HS. I know, it's very weird, but it then reminds me of me when I was in high school and the High School version of me? Not a happy camper.

My stomach doesn't have butterflies in it. It's far more nauseating.

Stupid school.

$15 plus for a paperback novel? you out your damn mind

It's been leaked that our school bookstore has a 27% markup on everything that they sell. It cost me three hundred dollars to buy books this semester, and I'm only taking three classes!

I hope that you get into the class that you want, or that everything turns out okay.

I swear, Satan ain't got nothing on bookstores.

*Ouch.* See, I'm an English major, so I don't have to buy as many textbooks, which cost like the dickens. I'm going to see if I can purchase a different copy of the $15 dollar one, because it's just a novel and shouldn't be that insanely priced.

everything turns out okay.

Well, I don't think I'm getting that class, but I think I'll be okay. It's just that I had way too much pressure today and I was sort of a nervous wreck.

I just got back from buying my books too-I couldn't get ahold of two of them, and already I'm at $280. And that's only 3 classes. Yay for bursaries! Of course, I could only get 2 used because I worked all August when the bookstore is open.

I hope you find some way to work out your course schedule. I think I might take a distance education course, just cause I like having only 3 days of school a week. I don't want to go anymore!

Also, one of the texts is called "Why I Hate Canadians". And it's by a Canadian. Hee. I love that book.

...and yet, strangely, Reg, I wish I was you. Back to school. *sigh*

Plus, you know it's all gonna work out, right?
And, the HS you? I bet she was way better than your memory...and if this is not the case...HS is forgivable. Always.
