Sweet Catastrophe

So let’s see, what’s going on in the world of Jade? Well not really a damn thing, but I’m bored and feel like rambling, so here goes!

I saw Jamey Monday night after work. We almost literally ran into each other at Wal Mart. Since he left Lowe’s we pretty much don’t see each other anymore. Bastard cut off his text messaging too, so I have no Jamey time. =( I miss my Blue Eyes White Dragon. We’ll hang out Friday at Nick’s party though—or we better ’cause that’s my motivation

I finally got advised and registered for Spring yesterday. I’m really not sure how I always manage to get stuck doing all this at the last minute every semester. There’s like a block in my brain, keeping me from remembering that even though my adviser said she’d send out emails a week before advising begins, she never does. I’ve got to start remembering to make an appointment when I start seeing signs for other departments getting ready for early advisement.

She always makes me feel really comfortable with where I am in school. Yesterday was no different. We got to talking about possibilities for my other secondary emphasis and I found out before she moved to this job, she did big secretarial work (what I’d like to do) and absolutely loved it. She said if she hadn’t fallen into this job, she’d happily continue her work.

She had a really great suggestion for some management classes–I’m not really sure how to explain them, but they fit in really well with my ACED stuff. So I’m taking the intro course and if I like it, I’m in. If not, she’s going to work it in as an elective for me.

Speaking of ACED, I’ve missed the last few classes. I really don’t know why, I’d just wake up those mornings and say forget it, and roll over. I missed an entire chapter on the inner-workings of the new Word 2007. She keeps a daily log of assignments online so you can keep up if you miss a day. I was totally lost. So yesterday I lucked out and it was  a review day. It honestly cracks me up that I can come in for a review of something I never learned and be completely up to speed while someone sitting next to me, who’s been there all along, is still scratching their heads.

Now I need to acquire Word 2007. I don’t remember when/how, but I had the chance to have it, and decided against it because I really didn’t like it. Now that I’ve had some instruction on it, I’m pretty comfortable with it. This is just the first of my typing classes, and now that we’re using it, I feel sure I’m going to see a lot more formatting that I only know how to do in 2007.

I finally went in for my girly appt. today. I’ve been dreading it. I’m still uninsured, so Farber Student Health Center was my only option. I never have much faith in the Health Center. Add to that the discomfort of seeing a new doctor, and then let’s throw in that there were no females available for two weeks, so I had to suck it up and see a male. Most women have a preference as to who they’re more comfortable with when it comes to their nethers. I’m definitely more comfortable seeing a female doctor. Luckily, this guy was really quick. I dealt mostly with the nurse, so I got in all my questions and everything before I got too uncomfortable to remember what my questions were.

He definitely positioned things incorrectly the first time and had to try again….you can imagine how great that felt. Oddly enough, that’s not the first time I’ve had that happen. But still, relatively speedy and we were done. Thank god.

He gave me two packs of Lo Estrin 24 to try and went ahead and gave me a prescription to get them if I like them. Hopefully I’ll see a change in my weight. Lo Estrin is the one where your period is supposed to be less than 4 days, so we’ll see how that goes.
