How dare you complain to me?

Wow. Did any of you college graduates laugh when I mentioned Ithought I would have more time to blog once school started? If you did I am bitter your didn't correct my nievetes. Really...

As you can tell from the date of my last post its two weeks into school and I am well on my way to a nervous breakdown. I have no time to myself. None. REally. I think I have been wondering what the hell I've gotten myseld into in the last few weeks.

Don't get me wrong, I love school and I am delighted to be back, but the *work*. Its week two and I've already had two tests. And tomorrow? I've got three tests and a 3 page paper due. This on top of 35 hours work a week and trying to cram in "me" time, "me and Beloved" time and "me and everyone else I know" time. My Gran's even stopped nagging me about calling my mom because I've barely got time to take calls....

on the other hand I have an "a" in all my classes thus far, including the ones I've already had tests in. [note to brag on, I have a 100+% in my religion class because I got bonus points on our first test, which, I migh add, was incredibly difficult. I was delighted I got a decent grade I was sure I had gotten an 85 or so, which is obviously unacceptable]

In work news, well, there is no news. I am still the darling of the store, and was [rumor has it] being considered for a management postition that came open, and was passed over for a person with more senority, which is a good thing, since I have only been there 7 months and I don't have time to worry about bossing other people around, I can barely keep myself on track.

Shrugs dyed his har [well, whats left of it, anyway] from red to navy blue. Rogue is [again] less than thrilled. I was wrong. ITs not growing on her. At all. I think the constant color change is freakign her out. Icalled her the other night and told her Ihad dyed my hair while I was studying and she freaked out. It took her a minute to realize I only dye my hair black [yes, I got rid of the red high lights] and I like my job, and hence will not be putting anything odd in it.

And that's life, unless youre dying to know what I am learning about in school , in which case I will be ldelighted to tell you about the geography and climate of ancient mesopotamia and explain why humans have language and animals merely communicate....

Classes, for the record:

Religion 101 - History and Literature of the Old Testament
Sociology 150 - introduction to society
English 256 - Into to linguistics
Political Science 110 - American Government and Constitution
French 101 - ths is self explanatory

Love you all, I'll try to visit next time I am at a terminal....

Nice to see you petal, and well done on the scores. I have **NO** idea what they mean, but they look good and you're smart, so they must be good. Right?

You take it easy burning that candle from all ends.

Excellent, alecya!!! You are deservedly proud and I'm so happy for you. :0) You classes sound like fun.

Now tell me all about geography, the climate of ancient Mesopotamia and the difference between people "talking" and animals "communicating." Actually, I did my high school senior paper on the latter...

Congrats to you. Taking 5 classes in one semester, you are insane!

I'm only taking one and I feel stressed. I probably could have taken on one other if I wasn't a full time mom.

You will have your degree in no time.

You're my hero today!

Yay you clever bird!

Er, what do those numbers *mean*? I am sure 101 means 'beginners' somehow (this must be some piece of knowledge I have acquired via osmosis) but we don't have those numbers in the UK.

Expliquez moi, s'il vous plait?
