I spend all that time making my schedule so nice and neat, and then they go and do this to me

Originally, I registered for 16 hours - 6 math, 3 fine arts, 3 cs, and 4 chem. My schedule was pretty cool, so that I only had to go Mon/Wed/Fri, and I started all three days at 9, but on Mon/Wed, I was done by 3:15, but on Fri, I was done at 2:50. Not too shabby.

Then this morning I get an email from SWT stating that my Discrete I class has been dropped due to low enrollment. That's just frustrating. It doesn't look like I'll be able to take another section of the class instead - spent about half an hour playing around with that - so I'm just going to have to drop it. Back when I first did my schedule, I know there's nothing else I'm eligible to take that I need/want to. I guess that's another change from UT to SWT - they never had this issue, at least not while I was there. Or rather, at least not in any of my classes, which is really all that matters. I'm not sure about my graduation date - it will depend partly on how many classes and which ones I'm able to take this summer, but it's looking like it might be next Spring ('06). That would suck. I mean, I know it's my fault, and I should have, or be just about ready to, graduated by now, but I screwed up royally, and now I'm facing the consequences of my actions. Which is something I've always been fairly good at - accepting responsibility for what I do. Mom might not be too happy, but she'll live, esepcially if I start paying rent, which will probably happen in the Summer or next Fall. That, or move out, but I'm in no hurry to do that. The scary thing is, I have very little trouble seeing myself still living here in five years, especially if I'm unable to get a better degree-based job. I don't mind moving, even out of state, to do so, though, although I don't know how much that helps.

I have to go to work in like twenty minutes; I'd like to get the dishes done first, but I'm not sure if this registration change is going to go through. They're still having some issues due to the storm Sunday. Oh yeah - the power went out at work (and all over town) Sunday around 5:20. That was... interesting. The grill's smoke wasn't going into the vents anymore, so we had to prop open the back door; after about thirty minutes, Ray had them start closing. I need to talk to him today to find out how it went - when we drove by there at midnight on our way to Whataburger, his car was still there, so it looks like they opened back up, or something. I think I'm supposed to have done some stuff in my assistant book by today, but I'm going to play that off and say that I have to leave soon, due to a prior engagement.

I'm feeling a little burnt out on D&D again. I think it's just a combination of a few things - I'm not sure where to take the party next, and I have a very busy semester coming up - work and school full time (although that's one less class I have to take, and class won't start for me 'til 10 now, so I guess there's a small silver lining on this cloud, if not one I'm terribly happy to see). I don't want to play in Matt's Warcraft game, nor in Luke's alternate campaign. I just don't know what I want in that arena. Well, time to do the dishes and get ready for work.

Oh, real quick - Luke's reaction to the altered photo with Nadine was hilarious.
