Mandas no good horrible very bad day
Lisa is always the one who pushes me to update as I sit here at work. I’ve been at work since 12.. but It’s been a rather slow day in general, nothing extremely difficult. I am VERY VERY cold though, they don’t know how to heat this office or cool the other. Damn people, make up your minds. Let me dress for heat or cold. Not one or the other. What is a girl to do when she has to work in BOTH offices. That’s what I thought!
On the school note…I’ve officially declared myself insane. I’m now signed up for 25 credit hours next semester. No more Amanda, I’m not going to modify my schedule anymore than it already is. I’m taking… 8 classes. One is online, 7 are actual ones I have to attend. Fun yes? Not really.
Communication 101 is a basic course, I’ve heard it’s pretty simple and the professor I’m signed up with is decent as well.
Earth Science 2 is the 2nd part of my current course, I’m sure I’ll do fine. Also heard good things about the professor and the labs aren’t really difficult or strenuous, again, no worries.
Sociology 101 is also an intro course, I took it in HS and loved it. I heard it’s easier than psych and I did great in that so again, not worried.
Intro to the internet I’m a computer tech so …. I’ve heard this course is the basics of the ‘net so it’ll be a breeze. Cakewalk, easy A, borderline extremely boring.
US history 2 This one has a couple essays I think, not a lot of fun but it’s getting a requirement out of the way and the professor also has good ratings.
Internet for informatics another intro course on the workings of the internet
Web programming teaches programming for the web to comply with w3c standards and since I have a website, know some CSS and a bit of PHP, and know XHTML… I’ll be fun and think it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
Microcomputer apps 1 I’ve been fighting to get into this one. It’s word/excel/access stuff, hahahahahahahah. Online. Easy A, GPA booster w00t!
You wonder how I fit them all? Easily.. and short days in the broader perspective.
Today is NOT going very well at all. Let’s see.. I supposedly turned my alarm off this morning without even knowing it. Then I slept till 11 which was fine considering I’m working 12-2, 3-6. That wasn’t SO bad. What was though, was when a raindrop fell off the top of my house from the melting snow and hit my eye and then i get in my car and my glasses fall apart, from a RAINDROP. The one piece fell off because the screw came out I’m assuming, so I’ve got a paper clip jammed in there and I look pretty ridiculous. Thanks to Kevin at work for suggesting it. I’d rather look ridiculous and be able to see than not be able to at all.
THEN I’m driving along and there’s ice attached to my wiper. I’m thinking whatever the heater will melt it and my heat isn’t working. It won’t blow hot or cold air, which immediately leads me to believe the fan died on me somehow and I don’t know WHY. It was working when i got my hot pockets from wegman’s last night but why must it be broken NOW, in the middle of WINTER. Let’s just hope daddy can fix it on Saturday or Sunday otherwise I’m gonna be a miserable cookie in the upcoming weeks, I’m too poor for a shop to fix it. :’(
This concludes the first edition of Amanda’s no good very bad horrible day. :’(

Intro to internet? They actually have a course in that? I bet the text is totally as follows:
Chapter One - Waking Up From the Coma You Lapsed Into In 1985
Chapter Two - Pr0n (comprises 99% of your final, as it comprises 99% of the internet)
Chapter Three - Favorites
Chapter Four - Clearing Your History So Mom Doesn’t Know You Were Looking at Pr0n
srsly. I can’t believe that’s a course.
Hope your day improves.

Seems like it wasn’t your day today. I always keep my spare glasses in my handbag in case something happens to the ones I’m wearing.
I can see without my glasses but not good enough to type or do my job so that’s why I always carry an extra with me. It’s not a new one I purchased for this purpose it’s just the old one I wore before my current, maybe you have one laying around too you could use for that?

Haha I think Lisa’s comment tells the truth completely. I am sorry that you are having a bad day Amanda! Hopefully tomorrow will be better.. It’s weekend you know - but I don’t know if you are working weekends.
It looks like Mondays and Wednesdays will be tough - you will be like my hubby he’s never home either and when he is the screen is calling

Wow… Your schedule makes me want to be motivated, lol. I need to find three more classes to take, don’t want to take ANY. Bah.

Microcomputer apps is so so so so easy. I had to take it last semester, and honestly, all we did were stupid little projects in Word, Access, and Excel. We never even touched power point. lol If the instructor hadn’t broken all the work into specific weeks with specific due dates, I’d have had it all done in a weekend.
