Thursdays Are Fun...not

So since I haven't had anyone comment and it's been like a week (hint, hint) I figured I would update again. It's been a very busy week so far. Quite miserable actually. It has snowed nearly non stop since Friday. I mean EVERY single day. I am very sick of cleaning my car off 3 or 4 times a day, slick roads, and slow traffic. Yesterday, I had accounting and history class. My history teacher is crazy. You know Vizzini from Princess Bride? That's him. Doesn't look like him, but sounds just like him. Today was quite a day and it started a lot earlier then I planned. My nightstand is rather close to my bed around 3 inches or so. Last night around 2 am I rolled over in my sleep and smacked my head on it. Hard. I shook it off and started to go back to sleep when I noticed my fingers after they had touched my head where I smacked it. There was blood all over them. Blood was all over my pillow as well. So I got up and held a tissue on it for a few minutes, and then put a band-aid on it (which was a little awkward given that the wound was in my hair). I got up later and went to school. It was snowing hard. Again. In my second class, stats, about a half an hour into it someone walked by shutting all the classroom doors. The prof looked oddly, and one of the girls near me explained that a girl had passed out in the bathroom. What was really weird was that I recognized her. I'm pretty sure she was in my math class my first semester at DCCC. I couldn't figure out why I recognized her until our prof was talking about SATs and he asked her when she had taken them. In 2003. That click it together. So then I left class and went to the computer help desk to have my WebCT password reset so I could log on. After that I went to my final class, in which we installed windows (snore). I walk back to my car in the cold windy snowy outside, get in, turn the key and. . . nothing. I left the lights on. So I asked the next guy if I could get a jump, and he finally agreed (I could tell he didn't want to). So 15 minutes later I was finally headed back to warmth. Stupid snow.

Whew, glad that's over!

As some of you know already it's be quite a week for me particularly over the weekend. I'll start at the beginning though. I went home for Christmas break without meeting with my adviser, primarily due to the questionable finical status I was in. I was unaware however that I could not register at all until I did. I found this out when I tried to register about 2 weeks before classes started. So I emailed my adviser but she didn't get back to me until this Thursday a day after classes had started. I went in on Tuesday and Wednesday to see if she was in and she never was. I talked to someone in the department and was told that only my adviser could help me. She had office hours on Thursday so I thought I would run in then and try to get this sorted out. Unfortunately I didn't remember her hours right and I missed them. So I sent another email, which she replied to and told me that I wasn't on her list. She sent a email to the department secretary and after confusing me with someone else they figured out I was right. So she set up a time to meet on Monday. So then came the weekend. Friday night at six o'clock was the rehearsal for Ryan Joseph and (now!) Shelsy Joseph's wedding and I was a groomsman. So I google mapped it and left around 3pm. After about 30 minutes I realized that the directions were sending me in the complete opposite direction. So I turned around and started the other way. Realizing that I was going to be late I began to go a little fast. Problem was that it was snowing pretty hard. After about 20 minutes I was going up a hill and as I crested it I lost all traction and spun off the road into a snow drift. I was stuck. Fortunately a guy with a big pickup truck saw me and turned around to pull me out. I was much more cautious after that :-) I arrived about an hour and change late but so was everyone else so I pulled in just as they began rehearsing the procession. I jumped in line coat and all. Afterwards we headed for the rehearsal dinner. After following Angela all over Williamsport because she doesn't know her left from her right ;-), we got to the restaurant and enjoyed a very nice meal. All the groomsmen were housed in the basement of Shelsy's aunt. The room was a literal shrine to the Miami Dolphins and Dan Marino. Posters, wallpaper, lamps, everything. But the really cool thing was that there was a huge home theater system, which meant lots of late movies :D. So the day of the wedding came and it went quite well. Our tuxes were so great. We all wanted to keep them. The reception was good, aside from an embarrassing dance with the bridesmaids. And my trip home was pretty good as well. Whew, that was a lot of writing. Sorry to babble I'm sure it was pretty boring but hey.
