Second Semester Sophomore

It has started up again. That wonderful school season. Today was my first day of classes for the semester. Classes are in full swing and so is homework. I have only been in four classes and I have 40 pages to read, a little assignment to do, and a 6 pager to start working on. I am happy that I can start the semester with a good bunch of friends and many close friends in the same class as me.
I guess I will start by talking about yesterday which was registration for the semester. That part went well, but not as well as I would have liked. I got to the desk and found out that the $1,00 extra loan I was awarded did not show up on my account, this meant that I could not use the extra money from the award for books until it showed up. This also meant that I would have to wait a day before getting books and that I had a less chance of getting the book I needed for my classes. After registration and lunch were over it was time for me to get ready for a job interview at a childcare center. I showed up to the interview 30 minutes before it was scheduled, so I just sat in my car reading until the proper time accord. When I walked in the nice lady who greeted me said that the head director (who i was meeting) was not there yet and should be back soon. So I was taken down stairs to do some paperwork that was part of the interview. It took me an hour to do the paperwork (reason it was a survey of over 200 questions) and still the director had not shown up yet. After a few more minutes she did arrive and apologized for being so late. The interview went great(even though it was interrupted by a very important phone call and a needed run to talk with the rest of the employes in the building) but it was nice to talk with her and really see what was required and needed for the job. Eventually I did return back to campus 3 hours later.
When I returned I immediately took my broken, worthless, messed up (can u tell how much I hate it right now) laptop to IT (that is pronounced "I" and "T" not it) so they could fix it for me and do what I pay $900 a year for. I will tell u that my laptop has been broken for over 2 weeks now and is driving me crazy cause I have to live off other peoples computer. When I gave them my broken one they wanted to give me a spare but were to busy handing out computers to new students, so i said I would come back the next day when it is less busy.
That was pretty much my day from 8 a.m. all the way to 6 p.m, with a few minor details missing. But let me tell u about today.
Today started out with me waking up at 7 a.m. to reset my alarm 7:20 a.m. for more needed sleep, but did wake up to the alarm and got ready for the day. The day started with a 8:30 class that went till 9:45, then it was chapel. I do not remember what Dr. Meyers spoke about, but that was because I was writing my own sermon (he gave me a thought and I had to write it down or it would be lost forever). Quick lunch at the Back Porch, then off to my 11:30 class that let out early so I had a few minute break to relax and eat what I wasn't able to before the class. Next it was off to my 1:00 class with a few friends who have it with me. When I was out of that class it was over to the registrar's office to meet with her and see if the loan showed up and if I can get a voucher for books. Thankfully it was in so it was off the the bookstore to get the needed textbooks for all of my classes. I was only able to get the books for two of my classes, reason 1 class didn't need a book (thank God for PE classes), another I was advised not to buy the book, and the last two were out, but there is hope one friend is going to give me her book and then I only have to buy one last one. Finally it was off to get my spare laptop so I could do work needed this week. The maxing guys in IT set e up with a good looking and working dell. I was very happy that I had a working laptop and really felt relieved. When I got in my room I sat the spare laptop down on my desk. I opened it and it started up, but........................the screen was black (UGH). I AM CURSED!!!!!!! COMPUTERS HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so upset that the laptop wouldn't work. Well all that was left for today is my 3 hour night class but it should be fun.
LUV YA'LL!! Hope to post again soon.
