So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Paperwork.
Monday, January 29, 2007 @ 12:15 pm
I need to file to drop a class (Women's Studies) because I don't have time to write the paper that's due this Wednesday, and I don't think I'll have time to give that class the attention it deserves and needs over the next few months. (Okay, honestly, I should have been more on the ball with that paper--doing research and whatnot--but other things got in the way. And I'm not talking about TV for once.) I'll be getting a 25% refund on the course (better than nothing), which I can use to pay for my seminar class at SJSU.

Speaking of which--we had our first real class today and it was fucking TERRIFYING. The professor is one of those people who calls on people all throughout class, and being a class of about 12 people, that means that dodging the bullet will be nearly impossible. I guess that means that really have to read in-depth on these articles we discuss every week, because if he asks something that I don't know, I will positively die of embarrassment and be laughed out of the room. Maybe not, but being the class fuckup is no fun. Especially when freakin' Ricardo (total Spanish hottie) is both the HGIR and pretty much the golden boy of the class. Don't want to be the retard there.

So, I need to drop the course, request a refund, and start devoting my life to these articles... sound like fun? Oh, yes.

Oh, I guess this also means I won't be getting my A.A. in Anthropology this quarter. Oh well, I will just have to take Women's Studies next quarter and I'll be done before summer.

i don't blame you for dropping that other class...the one you're staying in seems much more important

Good luck with your class! Having the golden boy around sucks big time especially when the class is small.

dude, why do you have to take women's studies to complete an AA in Anthro?

And guess what, there was like no HGIR at the gym. How is that possible, by the very definition of HGIR there has to be one. Maybe it was this asian biker guy who was with my friend. But unfortunately he was with my friend. I just bought a book for la clase secreta, and it cost $84, but I was supposed to buy the one with the crappy thin paper workbook and lab book, and that would have cost me $174!!!!!!! I can't afford that shit! Ugh, now my prof (who's actually just a TA, will yell at me for not finishing my homework... but she promised that there would be a copy of the workbook in the library and there totally ISN'T. Too bad for us poor kids. yeah, I should stop pretending to be a poor kid and just admit that I'd rather spend the $174 buying myself food and paying rent and doing my laundry which costs $3 per load than on a freakin' book. Sigh. I'll just try to buy them on e-bay.
