First

So, my day starts off by going to bed around 3:00 a.m. --solid.

I also have classes today. The first one starting at 9:00 a.m. and it's my math class.

In order to arrive to class on time, I must leave my house at 8:15 a.m. meaning, to get ready to leave I must wake up at 7:00 or 7:30 a.m. depending on if I need a shower or not.

Let's review.

Go to sleep at 3. Wake up at 7. Get to math class at 9. I just know you're begging to be me right now. haha.

Anyway, on the bright side. There was no classwork in math today...just a lecture, although...we do have homework. 

Second class of the day was Political Science. Probably the least boring of all my classes just because the teacher involves the students in discussion making for easy learning and the ability to retain knowledge. With all that being said, PoliSci was good.

Third class of the day was English...

Comp. 1, right? Oh no...writing 3 because of an unfortunate placement test score.

My professor told me I was at the top of the class...which was cool but she told me that this class is a waste of my time and that I should consider re-testing to place in to Comp. 1. 

I retest. Score high enough for Comp. 1. Look online to see if there might be any chance of an opening for Comp. 1.....

No. 

My professor did tell me to check the status of her class every day because students drop the class early due to "professor shopping" so I have a better chance if I check everyday. 

Now. On to other issues. TCC issues a debit card on which financial aid refunds are placed. This card can be used just like a bank's debit card except the money doesn't come out of your bank account. It's weird. I don't know. ANYWAY, I had made a "purchase" with this card assuming that this money was readily available at my own disposal. Oh no. This card hadn't been verified by my Bursar so when I made the transaction, a hold was put on my account and I received a notification e-mail saying that I owed TCC $80,000. I COULD BUY A HOUSE FOR $80,000. This happened last night.

After class today, I marched into the Bursar's office and asked them to please remove the hold from my account. They happily did so, removing my $80,000 fine. Thank God. 

Apart from school frustrations and lack of sleep...today has been a good day. Tonight, my brother Alex will be playing drums for our youth band (where I play bass) so I'm pretty excited about that. Finally....a drummer that doesn't suck. :) 

Derek should be getting off work here pretty soon and I'm gonna text him to see if he can't skype for a bit before I have to leave for church. I love that boy... <3

p.s.

I write books for blogs. haha
