First Impressions

I am going to be 100% relieved when I finally start school tomorrow! Although I won't be 100% ready and I'm still having some issues with WNC's offices, that still can't seem to stop the butterflies in my stomach. I'm going to be really surprised if I can actually sleep at all tonight.

I'm gonna be pacing my place until it's time for me to leave. I might even just leave like an hour early and go walk around WalMart or something because I wont be able to sit still. Hell, I might even get to WNC an hour early just try to calm my nerves. No clue if it'll work, though.

I'm still having issues with WNC, but it's nothing that can't be fixed within the first couple weeks of school. They seem to have this fascination for telling me information at the last minute.
They're charging me $25 for late registration so I can get into the right math class. wtf, right?

When I talked to one of the people in financial assitance about it, they told me I'd have no problem switching classes. All I had to do was get the signatures of the professors and turn in the paper. Good thing the math class I'm getting switched is taught by the same professor.

Plus, I'm still not going to be able to get any of my books until after school starts. Thanks again WNC for telling me it's urgent I get in my tax information. You guys have screwed me over once again. I seriously hope I don't have to take any tests on my first day. No books = failing grade.

It may not seem like it, but I'm so sick of talking about school. I do it because that's the big thing in my life right now. If I wasn't starting school in less than 23 hours then I wouldn't be talking about it and my life would be utterly uninteresting. It's very sad, but it's oh-so very true.


Meanwhile, back on the ranch...


I have a very painful fever blister on my upper lip. Well, it's just a nasty blob now. I had to get rid of the blister to make it heal faster. I always seem to get an illness around the time something important is about to happen to me. I just don't understand why it's always a nasty cold sore.

I went swimming with Kara and Melody at their apartment complex on Tuesday this last week and got a pretty bad sunburn on my face. I'd only been out in the sun for a couple hours, but on Thursday I had to run a few errands. Not owning a car, or having a license means walking.

It was really hot and I already had a sunburn on my shoulders that kept me from wearing a regular shirt. I was annoyed that I had to wear a tank top, even when we had Kara and Anthony over for dinner that same night. I felt so odd and uncomfortable, but couldn't do a thing about it.

My face looked like a friggin tomato I was burned so bad. The over-exposure to the sun caused a fever blister to form on my upper lip. The sunburn on my face is gone and my nose is peeling a little bit, but now I've got other nasty facial worries to deal with. ALWAYS when school starts.

No matter what I do to prevent it from happening something always comes around the corner and bites me in the ass. I hate it! ALWAYS when school starts. It never fails. It's a very bad, very nasty first impression and I'd really rather not be remembered that way. I've no control.

Going to school with a fever blister is not my idea of a first impression, but there's nothing I can do about it. Someone suggested to put perfume on my lip and it'll go away faster. I don't know if I have the guts to try that out. If I were really desperate, I still probably wouldn't tempt it.

After my first week of school when I have the time, of course, I will post an update on how school is going. I would promise you that after that post I'm not going to be talking about school again. I wish that were true, but in all honesty, I just don't think I would be able to keep that promise.
