Today was one of those typical Mondays.

It started out with a marathon run of snooze button pressing. I often wonder if my neighbors can hear my alarm. And my alarm. And my alarm again....
And again.


Okay, and again.


Do they ever just look at the wall/floor/ceiling and think, "Will you just get the hell up already?"

But I digress.

I got up, cursing at myself for not having taken a shower the night before. (I must take a note, shower before I take a melatonin to make me sleep.) Make-up. Hair half dried, in a ponytail, straighten the bangs. Throw on my clothes. Grab some healthy snacks before heading out the door.

Crap. It's 6:35am. I'm 15 minutes late getting out the door. (Okay, technically only 5 minutes late, but 6:20am is the goal.)

But as I'm contemplating why the traffic is so light, I realize, "BONUS!! It's Columbus Day. *mumbles* That asshole." So I start out today thinking, "Hey, maybe this will be a good day." Traffic is light. I got my coffee in record time. Sweet!!

And then....

It all went to shit.

See, I'm on a co-op. Wait. That's not the shitty part. It's actually a pretty decent job. Pays well. Good experience. But to save money, I went on "affiliate" status at my university. I asked the graduate school before I did it to make sure it was okay, and they said "Sure. No problem". Everything was great. I went on my merry little way.

Until I tried to register for a second 8 week session course.
"What? What do you mean I don't have an enrollment period?"

*beep beep beep beep* (That's me dialing the registrar's office)
A nice (and later, completely sympathetic) gentleman gets on the phone.... "Hi there! How's your morning? Great! Hey, I have a question... why can't I register for courses?"

And that's when I found out - changing to affiliate status basically kicked me out of the university. (Not literally but close enough.)

Wait....WHAT?!?!?!

Oh yeah. I had to reapply and everything. No wonder I was considered "ineligible" for other co-ops I'm applying to for the spring. (Until, that is, I get this straightened out.)

So if you work at a university, do me a favor. When someone asks you, "Is this a viable option for me?" and that option would kick them out of the university? Say, "NO!"

Still... I can fix this. No big deal. Who am I kidding? It's a big f***ing deal!

Deep breaths. No problem. I can handle it. See? I've already done everything I can to fix the situation. It will all go through tomorrow. And *POOF* everything is back as it should be. *mumbles* They still should have warned me. *cough*

Wow... this post is longer that I originally intended. Okay. So I won't tell you about the rest of the day. Just know that it ended up with me daydreaming about me starring in a bad 80's movie montage about not letting people take advantage of you, with Twisted Sisters "We're Not Gonna Take It" playing in the background.


Hey - you knew I was weird. Don't get all shocked about it now.
