My life sucks right now. In the next three weeks I have a grand total of 5 projects, 3 quizzes, and 5 tests to get through. Which pretty much means that, for the moment, my life has to be all about school. But enough about that for now.

[Dealt with an annoying neighbor]

So the girl who lives in the room behind mine in the other apartment was getting "it" about three or four times a week for the first weeks of school. From two different guys who had no idea about the other one. I learned wayyyyyyy too much about her personal life. Anyways, since I've been sick and can use all of the sleep I can get, having her bed knocking into the wall for hours during the night, three or four nights a week, was getting to be a giant pain in the rear. I talked to my friend and my mom about how to best handle the situation (awkward conversation), and couldn't come up with a decent way to handle the situation. So last Friday night, I handled the situation, in a rather immature, totally unlike me, fashion. As she and one of the guys were having some fun, I finally had had enough, so I pounded on the wall that we share and called to the guy. "You know, she told the other guy that he's better than you." All of a sudden, the pounding stopped. For about the next twenty minutes they had a huge argument. This is where things could have gotten really bad. After the argument was over, she could have come over and tried to beat me up for what I did. Instead, she called to me through the wall and thanked me for what I did. "I'd been meaning to break it off with him for a long time." She then went on to apologize for the trouble. She said she'd move her bed and do her best to make less noise in the future. So thank God that that problem is over with.

[Still sick]

So I am still not over my bronchitis. It is slowly getting better and better, but it feels like it's going at the same rate as a snail trying to cross a hot stretch of pavement. I swear there are days when I feel like I don't even want to get out of bed and face the day, it gets so bad. Oh well, the doctor believes that, because I already have this fun little illness, I probably don't have to worry about getting either the flu or swine flu. So instead of having to deal with the flu, I get to deal with a few more days to weeks of having lungs that hate my very existence.

[Adding to my workload]

I formally added a minor in English. For those of you who would ask me why I would do such a thing, there is a good reason. Since I decided not to do the whole "pre-vet" thing that took about 24 credits of classes out of my four-year plan, which I had to fill with something. I took a look through my class catalog and saw that the English department offers a whole host of classes that sounds insanely interesting to me. So once I filled my four-year plan with classes, I realized that I had enough credits planned to qualify for a minor in English. So I decided to formally add the minor. It took all of two seconds to do, which is more than I can say for my Business Admin minor, which hasn't formally been added yet. I still can't find the stupid room that the required meeting to add the minor is supposed to be in. I hate the business department here, nobody seems to know anything about anything at all. Unless you are a business major, that is. Then everybody is all smiles and helpful hints. Oh well, at least my English classes will be a whole lot of fun.

That's all for now. I'll try to post again soon.
