Okay… what a week, what a week, what a week!!!
I would not be surprised if my school gets sued by half of the student population because of yesterday. For those of you who don’t know, in my area yesterday there was a HUGE ice storm. I mean it was pulling down trees, cars were transformed to giant ice cubes, and there were more car accidents then anyone could possibly count.
Now being the proud citizen I am, I had to drive 30 mins south of my dwelling to vote in our primary on Tuesday. It took me an hour and a half, but I got there and did my civic duty. I swung by my parents for some dinner and to do laundry (it’s free there). And by the time I was ready to get my butt back to my apartment the entire area was a winter wonderland of disaster. The ice was so think my yard, which normally would have a little more traction then the sidewalk, was an ice rink.
SO lucky little me had to crash at her parents with no hair brush, no tooth brush, and none of my books for Wednesday’s classes.
But I mean…any idiot could look outside and assume an intelligent person would at least delay classes. This was my first error, I assumed that my college was run by intelligent people….HA.
But to be safe I woke up at 6AM (my class wasn’t until 9:30, but I needed to add in time to get to my apartment and then to school). And would you believe it….the county my college is in was delayed and later canceled, all the colleges around mine were canceled, but did was mine?? Hell no it wasn’t, we are tremendous tigers would apparently all grew up in Alaska so an inch of ice isn’t going to stop us from getting our amazing education. Who cares if you break an ankle, as long as you make it to Eng 101 on time that’s all that matters!!
So I get to campus at 10of 9. And as I pull into the parking garage I am greeted to big burly men trying to break the ice of the ground so that we can actually drive into the garage without sliding off the edge of the bridge.
And after that I was greeted with ice covered concert stairs to slide down. But I was hopeful still. They hadn’t gotten to the garage because they were hard at work getting the campus ready….even though my college had way for commuters than residents.
There I went assuming things….silly girl I am.
I have to walk up a hill to get to my first class….there was NO SALT to be seen on my walk to class. But that hill….wow what a fun experience. It was a solid piece of smooth as glass ice, with now isn’t this a treat, a stream of rain water flowing over it! I slowly but surely inched my way up the hill (it was the only viable path to my class). But many were not as lucky as I. One girl made it almost to the top just to loose her footing and slide all the way back down.
But she was not alone! There were many a student falling or slide around campus yesterday morning.
But I got to class!! What a relief all that and now I can get some learning done, right?? No, not right. With 15 mins left before class my professor comes in…to CANCLE class because too many people e-mailed him they would not be coming to class….and he didn’t even take the names of us who had made it to give us any sort of credit. OOOOH boy was I pissed.
Lucky for me my next class was just down the hall so I didn’t have to go out in the weather. But my 3rd class was around campus, it started at 11. By this time my college had decided that a little salt could possible help out. So I it wasn’t as bad as it could have been but, it still wasn’t pleasant.
My roommate’s teacher is giving extra credit to any student to write a letter of complaint to the administration because of this. I think that’s great! But I know that those letters won’t do any good, what will they do? Give everyone who turned up a t-shirt?
The highlight of it all came at 5pm when I was grocery shopping…a text from my school. Saying all classes starting after 7pm (about 3 of those exist) are cancelled. You know now that campus is walk able and the roads are dry…pfft you don’t have to come in!!!
BUT the men’s basketball game is still on if you would like to go to that, but no not classes, that’s just silly.

In Summary: Towson University wants it’s students and faculty to slip and break something, sue the institution for negligence, win, and be able to pay off their debts. Isn’t that nice of them??

my pap-pap died a few weeks ago...his funeral is this saturday in PA... i'm terrified, i have never been to a funeral before.

my dog died saturday morning, i haven't been able to fully function since. i can't go more then a few hours without having a total break down. i didn't know one person could have so many tears. i don't want to go home because i have never been in that house without him before. he was the best dog, he was a good dog, we didn't even really know he was sick. i just want to say goodbye and hug him one more time. alex and i were going to go sit this month when my parents went away....
i miss him...he was a good doggie.

Oh my god.
Today will have to go down in history as the worst day ever.
I am sitting in the library here at lovely Towson, fuming mad.
There are so many reasons I don’t even know where to start…

Anyone who reads this can tell I am not the best with grammar. So in order to better myself as a writer I decided to take a grammar class here at school. It seemed easy enough, the teacher is a flake and it’s early so I have a hard time staying awake but I get through it. Today was our first test, she wasn’t even there, and she had someone else give it to us. Then it was nothing like the practice tests I had been doing on her website all yesterday and there were vocabulary words on there I had never seen. I would have done better on a French grammar test. I was so pissed because I studied all yesterday and I feel like it was a total waste of my time. Not to mention I already hate this teacher because of how she lowered an essay grade so much because of a concept I had never learned and she had never spoken about. UGH, I hate that this dumb little stupid class is going to bring down my GPA.

Next I get out of my class to have a LOVELY voice mail from the EMF department. One of my oh so intelligent teachers said their were scholarships available through this department and that anyone could apply for this one. So I thought why not at least try, so I wrote out an essay yesterday after class paid to have it copied 3 times and for the cover sheets and was going to hand it in. The application said nothing about a time, only a date. So I was very annoyed to see a sign on the closed office door saying they had been due at 3pm. So I simply put a post-it on them saying there was no specific time on the application and slipped it under the door. In the voice mail this woman in the EMF department told me that it was late and would not be considered because an e-mail was sent out to all EMF Majors about the time deadline. She then noticed I was not an EMF major and said it didn’t matter because it was only for EMF people. So it was a total waste of time and money and I am just so pissed off because my teacher said it was an open application and the woman was a total bitch to me over my voice mail. UGH.

So now I come to the library to do my work for my stupid hybrid class. I check my e-mail because it’s habit and see an e-mail from my old boss. I had e-mailed her weeks ago about finishing a project for her. I assumed this e-mail would have been thanking me and asking how long it took…. No, not at all. It was some BS e-mail that was like, “sorry this took so long, thanks for the page, I assume you are settled in your apartment. –fondly (her name)” - - - what the fuck is that?! (alex, shut it) She was supposed to pay for the service of having her site built since she can’t even work her printer let alone her website correctly. I am so pissed, I don’t know if I am more annoyed because I got it today, but I know if would be pissed because I did a service and she isn’t paying me for it. I am tempted to just fucking take it down and not answer any of her e-mails, because it’s just all total bull shit.

GREAT! I just got another e-mail from my 11am teacher…class is cancelled, which would be awesome if I didn’t work right after class and it is pointless for me to go home and then come all the way back here for work.
Seriously, what the fuck did I do to karma for her to be kicking my ass so badly this morning?? Flunked test-not even considered for scholarship-not paid for work-stuck at school with nothing to do until work.

I was to crawl into a ball and cry.
I want Alex to be here and make me feel better. :-( I miss him.

i'm nearly 20 and i have learned a lesson the hardest way possible.
i had it and i lost it, and it was all my fault. no one to blame but myself.
i'm scared...petrified really. that for the first time in my life i think that i may actually be alone forever. and if not alone certainly not with the one i know i should be with.
i know i made my fair share of mistakes. but when he asked me out again i felt a glimmer of hope...like everything had happened for a reason...i just needed time to get my act together and when i finally did he was there asking me to be his again (not like i was really anyone elses to begin with)
but alas it all seems to have been some grave mistake and it was taken away. and now i sit here too afraid to move for fear that when i start moving, start thinking, that will make the words said tonight real..true..solid.
i am different, i am in love, i will always be in love. i will never be given a chance to prove this however and that is what makes me ill tonight.
