Tip of the iceberg...

Well, week one and I'm already about to go insane. My day starts at 6:30am and ends around 11:30 everyday. It wouldn't be so bad if I had a break in between all the chaos, but my day is "Go!GO!GOOO!" For instance, my schedule for today was:

6:30 -- Wake up
7:00 -- Drop Tim off at Work
7:30 -- Gym
9:00 -- Babysit
12:00 - Class
1:00 -- Meeting
2:00 -- 30 minutes to grab clothes from apartment
2:45 -- Babysit
4:15 -- Drop Laura off
4:30 -- Pick Tim up
5:00 -- Grocery Store
6:00 -- Work
11:00 - Get home
11:45 - start homework

Yep -- that's what my day looked like. This is what just about everyday looks like for me. Ahhhhhh.

My classes are pretty great. I missed one this week. Yep. Already. Here's the story. So. I am I taking a class at State this semester. Partly for the football tickets and partly because I wanted to take some extra Psych classes that aren't offered at Meredith. Well, I've never had to drive over there during the day. I thought leaving half an hour early would mean getting there 15 mins early. Well, I was VERY wrong. Two minutes after leaving the house (9:52), I turned onto Western (Street right in front of state) just in time to catch an accident that would put me at the parking deck right when class was starting (10:15). Well, the parking deck was full, so I had to wait in line for another 15 minutes just to get a ticket into the parking deck (now 10:30). I proceeded to drive around the parking deck trying to find a spot. Mind you, my gas tank was on E from the time I left the apartment. Well, after driving around the parking deck for another 15 minutes (now 10:45) I decided to give up. I asked the parking attendant to let me out without paying since I didn't park (she gave it to me, feeling bad). I pulled over, emailed my professor expressing my sincere apologies, and left to get gas. The class ended at 11:20, so, in my head, I would have spent another 10 minutes trying to park and then it takes another 5 just to get to class. So I would have gotten to class around 11:05. Pointless, right? I met with him the next day, and he was already joking about it -- so at least he's got a sense of humor!

Mini Blurb: I went to the eye doctor the other day and found out I've had an infection in my eye for more than a month! How did I not know?!?!?! I went to get a new contact prescription and came out with an antibiotic prescription! Whaaaaaat?!

Well, other than the chaotic schedule, I'm doing great! Haha. Other than tonight, I've been going to sleep around 11pm, which is great. I've been going to the gym, also great. Now if that would just translate into weightloss, I'd be set!

Well folks. Sorry for the Debby Downer post, but, hey, I said I'd keep you posted with all things good and bad!! :)

Peace!

I feel for you missing class. My #1 nightmare is that I'm back in college again and I miss my first class somehow. I don't know why that troubles me so much but it really does. Sorry you had to live my nightmare. And sorry that you have an eye infection! How depressing!
