Well, I went through my makeover, but I can’t really talk about it or show pictures until after Thanksgiving. It had a pretty good reception at school on Friday.
I was going to go Christmas shopping yesterday, but I couldn’t figure out what to get anyone. I’m going to go the day after Thanksgiving with the help of Klonopin. I have already bought one present. I wanted to get everything over before the major rush of shoppers, but it looks like that’s not going to happen.
I’ve decided that I’m going to learn to drive sometime in the next few months. That way I can go visit Nana more often. I would say that I could go on my days off next semester, but that would just be Saturday and Sunday. I think I may have surprised my dad by saying that I need to learn to drive soon.
I had an interesting experience on Wednesday. The President of the Social Work Club got into a fight with a girl with braids and a tattoo. According to “braids”, “President” had slept with her husband. They’d been having a lot of arguments that day, and things were just escalating. Well, it culminated in a fight; 2 fights actually. The fight was between Diverse Populations (we’d gotten out early) and Art of Interviewing, both in the sense of time and where it was happening. The first time it was stopped, “President” went to the Social Work chairperson’s office to cool off. “Braids” was left to pick up her stuff. Well, as she picked up her stuff, she was insulting “President”. “President’s sister” was in the hall and she went after her. Somehow “President” heard and she came out there looking thoroughly pissed. They fought and a chair was thrown. The campus police came and took all 3 girls to their station. There were about 5 people out in the hall when the fight began, probably all Social Work majors, and no one knows who started the fight. I guess the police figured out because I saw “President” in Bibb-Graves Hall on Friday. I thought that “President” probably threw the first punch because of the SW student amnesia. I also thought that both girls would get expelled. I also think that whoever stepped on my toe owes me an apology. You’d think they would notice that they’d stepped on my toe. If they can’t figure that out, then are they going to be able to feel it when they run someone over?
Oh, I had a lovely experience on Tuesday when I went to register for classes. My account had an encumbrance against it. Apparently, my financial aid hadn’t gone through. Well, I went on Thursday and paid off my account before walking up to the Financial Aid office and asking what was going on. My financial aid paperwork had gotten “stuck” while it was being processed. The girl in the office went ahead and approved my Pell Grant and loan, both of which were small considering last year’s income. Of course, just a few minutes ago I looked at my fee and payment information. I’m not going to get my money back. The Pell Grant paid, but they took it away with the “Bal of Financial Aid”. WTF? That means that they’ll do the same thing next semester and I’ll have to pay some more. You know, full rides should literally be full rides. I shouldn’t have to pay, and I shouldn’t have to have my grant and loan money taken away. I need things like new clothes (which I need since I’m falling out of some of mine) and school supplies that I can’t get when they take way my money to balance out my financial aid.
I hate to beg, but can anyone please volunteer to help ask Question of the Day or Daily Debate questions on Celestial? I’d just need people who could ask questions on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. You wouldn’t have to ask thought-provoking questions. Just ask something interesting. The QotD could be about a lyric from a song, a line from a movie, or a survey-like question. The DD doesn’t have to be what’s going on in the news. It can be something silly or serious. Please help me, guys/girls!
