School Woes

Today was my first day in class

Okay so I was supposed to go to class yesterday but guess what? My advisor put me on a different campus. It's like you having to take classes in Ikeja and then they put you on a Victoria Island campus and tell you to commute in between classes in like 5 minutes.

Mind you I don't have a car and Baby is working and going to school at the same time that I am. So to drop me off at the other campus would be like an hour and more out of his way and then he would be late and miss class.

Out of my seven classes he has four of them hoping around like a jack rabbit. from one campus to the next. So i have been trying to change my status in school. The advisor had the audacity to tell me to withdraw this semester so that next semester I will be in the right classes.

Asshole! I am a senior and graduating this semester. Oh! and if I don't take all seven classes because I am an International Student I will not be allowed to march. Taht is the update I got from my international student advisor. So I have been speaking with the Dean of the Schoolof Business, the Dean of the Management Department, the class teachers, and even the VP of academic affairs to get into these new classes. Not to mention my constant battle with financial aid for messign with my money and my up hill drama with the Internation Student's Office because they forgot to put me as an In-State student this semester instead of International Student!

Anyway, the drama with the hall is official over. We have secured it. Read more about the wedding plans and updates on my Wedding Woes blog.

I saw this poem that I had written like years ago addressed to someone and it encompasses how I feel about right now. There was a line that says "The time you needed me the most, I was there, the time I needed you the most you were no where. Ask me where do i go from here?"

I have been speaking with my mother almost everyday. I miss having her around in close proximity. She knows how to calm me and make me see beyond my pain to whats really there. So I am doing better and I know by the end of this week, I will be back to my old self again.

Baby and I went to Waldenbooks because it was closing (going otu of busines at our mall) and we just started packing books like we had no tomorrow. I got like five different "how to plan a cheap wedding" books. there were different variations from getting cheap centerpieces to getting rid of the expensive budget. So I have been doing a lot of micromanaging of our budget.

I mean seriously, do I really need to have roses in each party favor on each place setting. It's not like I have a hundred guests.

I also got the latest books of my favorite authors finally (Tess Garritsen, John Grisham, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, Julie Garwood (vixen put me on to her), John Sanford, and the Alex Cross Series final book Cross). I also got some nice Daniel Steels. I am going to begin reading a lot more of her books. I mean they are really deep and they have good endings whether you like it or not, they are more realistic than some of the garbage out there. So basically while we were checking our books out we seemed to be the only people there with like piles of books. Baby had all this computer books for developing companies, websites, projects, databases, and all these computer language books. Then he bought some true life stories and some period books from the 1800s and then he bougt four books on Einstein (don't ask). One was Understanding Einstien for Dummys which I plan to read so that when he starts talking about it I don't feel like the dummy!

Anyway we came out spending under $150 because all the books where like 70-80% off! We are going back on Saturday to see if there are any books left.

Baby and I are also starting a wine collecting hobby. Seriously! Not that we are actually going to drink the wine (wink wink!) but we realized that by the time we are like 60 the wine from 2000 would be old so we are buying wine and maybe someday we can open a wine celler and have friends do some wine tasting. I am planning to someday bid for old wine online So far we have wine from 1998-2000 sitting here in our home.

Check out Chris Daughtry's new single. Tell me he isn't better than the person that won. Anyway on my way to catch American Idol's new season of misfits. Maybe I should go and compete next year! Just a thought

Later people enough rambling for one day...

Oh Baltimore family this is for you:
I woke up this morning to this song and I got so mad at Baby for leaving Vh1 on last night (because I passed out on the couch in the middle of Daily show so baby must have changed the channel.) Anyway I woke up this morning to
"Baby why you calling me so late..." Hence the shitty day! Miss you guys so MUCH!

Your wedding woes won't pull up. I've been trying the last couple of days but it won't pull up.
Hope all is well.
