the best part of waking up...

...is cold coffee left in the pot by rob...ew.
so, today was filled with much of the same as most of my days recently. this includes, but is not limited to:
sleeping in - because i can, and why not take advantage of it while i'm still able to.
taking a very long and very hot shower - to loosen up my leg
eating lunch and figuring out whether or not i want to cook dinner, and if so what i'm going to cook - thank goodness for crock pots
watching random bad daytime t.v. - well, i say random, but really mean 'boy meets world' at 1p.m. and 'dr.phil' at 3p.m.
trying to get even the smallest task done - either between t.v. shows or while my leg is cooperating
and spending most of my day on the computer - so as to talk to rob while he's at work, and update this lovely piece of blog art.

sounds exciting doesn't it? yeah...right.

anyway. i paid for school the other day and found out that i'm still technically on "academic probation" which means that i have to take this extra "study and learning skills" course online. it's absolutely ridiculous! i found out when i went to drop my raquetball course (see: hurt leg) and there was a hold on my account not letting me do anything other than pay. so i called and was told, "oh, well just come in and talk to an advisor in person and they'll just remove the hold." so ok, i was thinking it wasn't a big deal, and would be easy to have taken care of. so i headed up to the school, stood in line for about 30 minutes, finally got to sit down and talk to an advisor, and was told, "oh, well you need to talk to a 'full-advisor', so just go sit over there," which resulted in another 5 minutes of waiting. then i got called into the 'full-advisor's' office and explained things to her, and then she informed me that i would have to take this extra course. i just about lost my shit. i tried explaining to her that the entire reason i'm even on academic probation is because of a fuck-up on my part *two years ago* and that my grades from this past semester were high, and seeing as how i am only .2 points from the gpa i need to not be on probation, the entire situation is absolutely ridiculous. she just smiled and said she was sorry, but, "at least you don't have to pay for the course since you're gpa is high enough."
i wanted to kill her.
then i thought about trying to bribe her.
and then i went back to wanting to kill her.
so now here's the deal. i have to complete 10 "modules" on this online course and write a 50 word paragraph for each "module". in addition to that, i have to attend 3 seminars this semester and acquire the completion certificate for each of them. and lastly, i have to have my professors fill out a sheet the lady gave me saying that i am passing my course at mid-term. if i fail to complete any of these tasks i won't be able to register early, and my registration will be limited by hours and courses that i can take.
it would be different if i was fresh out of high school and they were trying to teach some stupid little immature 18 year old the responsibilities of college and crap, but i'm not, and i do not appreciate being treated as such.
this also brings up another problem in the fact that, the lady said something about getting to do the online course and not paying for it because of my current schedule and if i didn't change anything. so, i don't know that i can drop my raquetball course now and not have something else blow up in my face! at this point there's no way i can take that course and pass it, but at the same time i don't know that i can drop it. but if i want to get my full money back on it, then i have to drop it by the 16th.
why must things be so complicated? huh?
anyway. i need to go hobble into rob's room and see if we're going to the store tonite or not. because if we are, i need to go put pants on. wahoooo!
later dudes.
