I finished my History of Mexico paper. Now it’s all smooth sailing for now.

Let’s start with this simple sound: GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*headdesk*HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yeah, that’s about how I feel right now. So lemme give you a rundown of my day thus far:

9:00 a.m. –> get up, get dressed, go to Prof. Bowling’s office to register for classes. Now you have to realize that almost ALL classes are closed by this point, including many of the 3000 level history classes. So now I go and register on paper and get signatures.

10:00 a.m. –> go to the Registrar. The Registrar’s mindfuck assistant (who in my opinion, can burn in Hell and be eaten by mutant dogs) is so nice as to inform me that I can’t register until TOMORROW AFTERNOON. Okay, why, you may ask? Oh, because that’s right: I’m a second-time ’round sophomore. Turns out that: a) the little French course I was FORCED to withdrawl from (and also in which Dean Lincoln promised me there would be no reprecussions whatsoever) gives me below 30 credits. b) Apparently Mville doesn’t give credits to those who get below a C (even if it’s not for major credit), so my D+ and $320 I spent in tuition for Art History was a waste. That’s nice.

So anyways, this bitch of a secretary tells me to come back tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, nice. I have a very important meeting with a rheumatologist tomorrow who’s an hour away from Mville. That doesn’t work for me. So, I very politely ask her if I can come in before 3:00 to register since there is no possible way for me to be there at said time. Her response was something along the line of “the world is not based on need”. Oh really? So welfare is doled out on a first-come, first-served basis? Well, actually at Mville it is. If you do not know, I could not get aid because I was “not poor enough” (although tuition would have been half of my family’s salary) yet males and International Students practically go here for free. And I thought we promoted social awarness? Turns out we promote discrimination.

Anyway, the majority of these classes are full already, especially since they cut the lecture system (history classes can only now have 20 students at most). I’m sorry, but I need to take a million history courses. I’m a major. It should be who NEEDS said courses. Oh wait, society isn’t based on need.

I mean, I tolerate the bad foodservice, the cold showers, the no heat, the poor faculty, and whatnot. But this is the last straw. Berman had two almost unanimous votes of no confidence by the faculty in two months, yet he told The Journal News that he is not he is not going to resign. Maybe it’s time the students overthrow the college again.

You won’t believe it, but I wrote a three page post last night and accidentally deleted it. It was really good too. Damn.

Well, right now, I am supposed to be in class, but that didn’t go as planned. We needed RealVideo to play a documentary and unfortunately the *looks around the library* ipotent IT department refuses to download RealVideo because “it’s only used for porn”. And you see half the class look around and whisper “yeah, we have never used QuickTime to get porn. Never.” So we were dismissed. I need to make up my midterm ASAP.

I got my math exam back today. I got an 84!!!!! *happy dance* Oh, that reminds me, I need to look up the homework before I go. I have a lot to do tonight.

The hot apple cider in Benzinger was really good today. I want more.

Okay, I’m off to get some tea before my History of Mexico class.

12:00 a.m.-5:30 a.m., Fri. 19 Oct 2007 –> Wake up with excruciating pain. Go to White Plains Hospital Center (WPHC) with Richard. Mum and dad come to see me. Get called in. Get urinalysis, bloodwork, more urinalysis, CT scan, saline/Levaquin/codine drip. I have a mild infection. Am perscribed Levaquin oral and Motrin 600mg. Go home.

6:00-9:30 a.m., Fri. 19 Oct 2007 –> Eat Vienna Wafers and Yoo-Hoo (in a glass bottle!) out of the vending machine. Sleep. Pain still present.

9:30-10:00 a.m., Fri. 19 Oct 2007 –> Recieve a call from mum saying that Dr. Bregman (an ER doctor) saw that the results from yesterday are inconclusive and appendicits may be present. Call Dr. Bregman, am asked to come in for a new CT scan with contrast.

10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Fri. 19 Oct 2007 –> Go back to WPHC with Richard. Meet dad there. Go into ER and are forced to drink two pints of Barium Sulfate in mixed berry. I chug a dixie cup full and proceed to go into the bathroom to vomit. I am given a saline/Zofran IV, a urinalysis, and a CBC. Two hours later, the Barium Sulfate is gone and I await a CT scan. Go for CT scan. Results show that appendicitis is not present, but instead a large cyst rupture on my ovary. Am later released.

6:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m., Fri. 19 Oct 2007 –> Go home, do laundry, eat dinner, call the parents, pack, and sleep.

20 Oct. 2007 – Go to the parents’ house by 8:00 a.m., eat breakfast, drive to Franklin, eat lunch, go to Sharon Springs to see the Hotel Adler (which is victim to treasure hunters), Imperial Baths (they had the sulphur and magnesium faucets running and people were drinking out of them), and do some shopping. Go back. Read. Eat dinner. Go to Cooperstown for the Halloween Event at the Farmhouse Museum. Come back. Eat dinner. Sleep.

21 Oct. 2007 –> Get up. Eat breakfast. Shower. Pack. Drive home (sleep). Dinner. Back to Mville. Homework. Call parents. Homework. Blogging.

Yeah, life is eventful under me. As a side note, Apple Cider from Sharon Springs is really good because of its high sulphur content.

Hahaha….best thing ever.

 I’m sitting in the library with Rich, griping about my test grades. Rich smells like Philly Cheesesteak, which reminds me of the first time we kissed. Anyways, this girl just gets up, screams to a guy (whom I later found out she wasn’t even dating) and says a string of things ending with a loud “FUCK YOU AND YOUR DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!” Way to bring an entire group of studyers together to talk about shit.

And I thought I was wearing my own ovaries on the outside.

 On a (majorly) sadder note, they are shutting down Letchworth Village. I know that doesn’t mean a lot to you, but it’s the only abandoned asylum in my area. They are turning it into, you guessed it, high-volume housing. Not that I protest high-volume housing, but it really is a beautiful piece of history. Carl Solomon stayed there for quite some time, and it was lobotomy and ECT centeral. It makes me wonder why we didn’t follow Long Island’s method of turning abandoned crap into parkland for kids to get high in. Oh well, I still have Pilgrim (kinda cool), King’s Park (majorly cool), and Old Main at Utica State (majorly majorly orgasmically I might have an orgasm talking about it unlike most of their patients in 1836 cool). My goal is to: a) get into Old Main and photograph it before they destroy it; and b) get into Building 93 of King’s Park and make it to the top floor (you can clearly see CT and MA from there) without crashing through all 12 floors, getting arrested, or being attacked by some of the “left-behinds” that are still roaming (I kid you not, it’s only been on the market ten years and there are several police reports of this…especially in buildings 105-106 [medical/surgical] which are still in perfect condition). Definitely a daytime, maybe winter project for those short Long Island days.

Anyways, I am off to read important stuff and gripe about Letchworth. Or maybe to read Poe and look at Kirkbride architecture.

It seems that everyone has somehow forgotten about me since my several extended leaves of absence. This is because: a) I have no internet in my dormitory due to a broken port on the boyfriend’s Mac; b) I have been spending more time in the gym than blogging; c) I have not had a single free weekend to myself since, um, Labor Day weekend; d) I am overloaded with work; e)  I am going through a MAJOR life change; or f) All of the above. Which one? You guessed it: f!!! F as in “Fucking work”.

Yeah. So I am really busy. So cut me a break, and I do promise that I usually take five minutes out of the day to read your blogs.

Mainly for me:

- Find out about writing assignment for AMS
- AMS writing assignment
- HIS writing assignment
- ENC writing assignment
- HIS bibliography
- Read The Crucible
- Finish Salem Possessed
- MATH Derive Assignmnet
- Catch up on ENC readings
- Plan talk for tomorrow (damnit where’s my purse???????)
- Mail in rebate
- Take exam

But don’t be expecting a lot of me, because I need to, you know, raise my GPA by at least a whole point.. Actually right now I’m on Richard’s computer because the IT department here likes to fuck with students, thus making them go to the IT help desk, thus making them pay $149 and wait 36 DAYS to get their computers back. Hahhaha I am smarter than that! That does not fool me! This is why I keep my summa cum laude brother around. To fix my computer.
Anyways, I mean, I have a lot of work to do and I will admit that some of my professors are not the greatest *cough*magicalrealism*cough*, but I only switched out of communications this semester and that is because: a) it was boring as all Hell and there was nothing on the syllabus even remotely exciting, b) it meets once weekly from 7:10-9:40. That’s just not right, c) I don’t need it, and I could be wasting time actually getting credits for my major. So thus I am taking history of Mexico. Yay, Mexico! How much history can Mexico really have? Anyways, I get to be a history dork. Teehee.
There are a lot of freshmen this year. But there are some pretty damn cool ones .
My new ID picture is hideous.
I love playing house and going food shopping.
I can’t wait for the weekend. Yay, weekend!
I had a substitute teacher for my Greek and Latin Roots class. And I was the only one who knew what coprophagia is. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. It’s totally worth a good laugh.
Okay, well I’m off to do my tasks at hand. I’ll definitely be back sometime later this weekend.

Manhattanville decided to reinstate 75% of my scholarship for the Fall 2007 semester. This is very very good!
