School begins on the morrow...what a shame. It happens though, you know? Gotta get that piece of paper that says BA and that one that says BS on it...gotta learn all kinds of facts and figures so I can make myself a viable memeber of society. I'm certainly not a viable member right now--at least, not here in Humboldt...*sigh*. It's times like these I wonder how I ever got so lucky earlier in life--all my jobs essentially have fallen into my lap...now I actively look for one and can't get nuthin...jeesh!

I pulled out binders and papers--old notes for the classes I'm retaking + their respective books. I'd really like to ace this semester...I have the wherewithall to do so...one "c" and mum and pops won't loan me $$$ for next year--then I'd *really* be up shit creak w/o that paddle.

Grocery shopped into a women I knew in the engr dept. We were talking and I was reminded just how "off-track" my other major has put me...she's about a semester ahead of me, and we started the program abou the same time...

Get this, I sat down last night to figure out how many classes I have left to take...for my English Single Subjects degree, I only have six fucking classes (makes sense though, now that I think abou it...there are many more engineering classes to take, but, beyond that, the general ed for engr. is scaled back to allow for even *more* upper class engr. the english degree has no provision to the general ed...) I have 12 more engr. classes...*sigh* I can *see* the end at least now.

My first class is at 11AM...one of the ones I'm repeating. Should be interesting to see that professor again...I got the feeling he didn;t care much for me the 1st time around (i probably wouldn't much have liked me either, were I him...fucking *slacker*) Our mistakes do indeed bite us in the ass eventually, yes sirree!

God I could go for a cigarette right now.
