Things that REALLY frustrate me

When the bookstore doesn’t order a book on the syllabus for some reason,

…so they put in a special order just before Spring Break,

…and I go all the way down there on a VERY windy and cold day during Spring Break to pick it up,

…and I bring it home and start to read it and get confused because it doesn’t seem to fit the class,

…so I look at the syllabus and notice that the book on the syllabus has the same title but was written by someone completely different,

…and I have to have it read by Monday,

…and Barnes & Noble.com is charging me $4 for 3 day shipping,

…which means I MAY get it by the weekend so I can read it for Monday afternoon’s class.

I was having such a productive-feeling day.

i’m still here, just really boring

The ennui finally got to be too much. So I ventured out in the blustery cold (and BOY was it cold and windy, I nearly lost my hat) to pick up some books from my locker. And I started working on my outlines. Talk about your fun ways to spend Spring Break.

Other than that, this week has been pretty quiet. No one wants to read about how much I’ve been working out (or not), how many Coke Zeros I’ve had today, how many episodes of Law & Order I’ve watched, etc., so I won’t be writing about any of that. Sorry.
