Thank you, Elynne.

I just want to cry. But I have no time.

So, I got the whole "you're handing me a bill for how much? And wanting to know how I am going to pay for it?" thing with the comptroller's office straightened out somehow yesterday.

And went to my 7-10 pm 300-level english course. I need to take three of these in my major and one in my minor. I have two more years at college and haven't taken any yet, which is why I need to take them now. Everything was planned out very carefully.

I was waitlisted and probably won't get in.

But! I had a Cunning Backup Plan and shopped another 7-10 course tonight. Which also looked interesting and fun. And I was sure I'd get in.

More seniors came. I probably won't even get waitlisted for that one.

But I get to do the work this weekend for both classes just in case I do get in.

And I get to shop another class from 2-4:30 tomorrow and hope I get in. So I don't have to do work for three classes I may or may not be in.

But the time it is at screwed up my workstudy schedule so I won't be getting a nice fat check in two weeks, just a dinky one for the two hours I worked today.

I sent an email to my dean and my academic advisor. I hope they fix things. I trust my dean to help me. The deadline to fix all of this is Tuesday. And I must get my academic advisor's signature on the paper before that.

And it turns out you can only get two independent study phys-ed credits, and I got them both last semester with tai chi and so can't use that anymore for phys ed, even though I'm keeping on taking the classes because they keep me sane.

I hope I can do self-paced walking or something, but to do that I have to attend a lecture. Which I can't find any information on anywhere, other than the fact that it is required.

Plus all my regular work. Which - since I've been shopping classes every night since Tuesday, and running around like a maniac trying to get work done in-between standing in line for hours at the comptrollers' office since Sunday - I barely have time to squish in somewhere.

Tonight I get to write an essay, in Russian. And read half of a novel for English. And that's what's due for tomorrow that I didn't get a chance to finish today.

So, recap:
Russian: Write essay about what you did over the summer (I worked. That's it). Essay must be at least one page. Study for test, for which I am woefully underprepared, on Friday.

English Class #1, where I am actually in the class: read half of novel which you didn't have time to read yesterday or the day before.

Cities Class: Finish readings. Sometime this weekend, go into Philadelphia and do something unspecified.

Delayed English Class #1: Do about 100 pages of reading and write at least a page and a half about it. Hope I get in.

Delayed English Class #2: Do readings. Write some more about those readings. Hope I get in.

Talk to Dean and Academic Advisor before Tuesday, with my limited time.

Plan workstudy schedule. Actually go to work at some point.

Figure out what to do for Physical Education. Since they changed the policy so I have to complete all my credits this year. Thank God I only have one left.

I do get to go to stick-fighting tomorrow night. Which will be good. By tomorrow, I am going to need to whack something hard with a big broom handle.

I don't want to work tonight. I want to talk to Arc. I need to sleep. I can't sleep. Because of work.

And the simple act of just planning, without having a real schedule to build off of drives me bonkers in and of itself.

I still have not hung my posters on the walls.
