The last first day of school ever (I hope!)



In 23 mins it will be the beginning of the end. The first day of my LAST year of school. Though I feel like I've already said this when I entered into this point at U of I with my undergrad degree.... I swear, this is it!! I don't think my nerves can handle anymore.

This year has already started stressfully . I'm not officially signed up for some of my classes because the only spare day I had to do it was Friday, and the school was closed Friday, even though the 1Ls had orientation. (helpful) I don't have all of my books. My friend Brian delieved his to me (which I have yet to pay him for), I'm getting another 1 or 2 from one of the girls I got some of my 1L books from, but those are "in the mail" and have yet to be seen on my doorstep. My last book is crux on a girl who got married this weekend... so I'm guessing that one is lost in the mounds of useless kitchen wedding presents and most likely under a silver ice tong set no one will ever use.
Le sigh.

I also begin my year with no contract ofr my job that starts at 8am tomorrow with the university. I have been strong armed into accepting a contract that not only can easily throw me under the bus, but contridicts itself in many areas. Not that I expect everyone to hire an attorney to do all of their contract work... no wait... if you're going to do specific contract work that is worth a few thousand dollars... then yea... hire an attorney, or listen to me when I tell you what you've written is BUNK.

I'm off to make myself some coffee for my chipper morning tomorrow. If you were to read back to about this time last year, you would know that the coffee prepared at my lovely job leaves MUCH to be desired and can easily be akin to brown water.

So, I'm off to follow a schedule that is not a schedule and to go to a job that I don't technically have and then later to study with books that I do not have.

And as a sidenote: I am not a slacker in any of this. I tried to get the school schedule worked out far in advance and did not hear from my porfessors and the Dean about the correct method until last week. The same goes for my contract at Career Services... I heard hide nor hair of the department until about the 30th of July and was given 1 week to sign, only to find that everything was screwed up... hence the lack of contract at this point. The books I ordered are here on time, and aside from Brian, the books from freinds are those that are lacking and to me... the $400 I saved is worth being behind a few days in reading.

I haven't been able to go see the pony since Wed. I've been stuck here with a bad headache, had a wedding... among all fo these other things... maybe tomorrow he can help with my sanity.
