snapdragon76Well, I had a bit of a letdown today. I had a meeting with one of my supervising librarians today, which went well, and I told my dad that I was able to make time for the originally planned vacation to DC in October. It seems plans changed and while they’re still going to DC, it will be without me. I don’t think it was a deliberate snubbing, but just the way the scheduling worked out. And it’s been moved up to September.
The way the one school’s schedule is, they have a year ‘round schedule and they have three weeks off in September. Ordinarily it’d be fine, but I have to schedule my hours for my other school during that time. So I’ll be unavailable during the days they plan on being here… except for one day. A Saturday. I’m glad I have at least one day, but I would’ve liked to have had more. What I really would’ve liked was to go to DC during the fall with the fall colors in the city, but I guess that was flushed down the toilet. This was like Germany all over again. They told me over and over that whenever they’d go to Germany to visit the foreign exchange student we’d hosted, they’d take me too. Well, they went to Germany… and I didn’t. I’m still sore about it too, as you can clearly tell. Whatever…
At least dad is still coming down for my graduation in December. I don’t know for how long though, so I have no idea what is going to happen aside from going to the ceremony. But, that’s four months away yet.
I hope I get my loan money soon. The bursar’s office said it’d be the 19th or so. Classes start on the 24th. You’d think that’d be enough time, but they don’t always release the funds on the day they say they will. Sometimes it’s a day or so later. It makes no sense. I have to order my books online since the campus bookstore doesn’t carry the books for my major. So that takes time to arrive. I also need to get some things for when I start my Practicum, like professional type clothes and a day planner as well as printer ink for the schedule I need to print off and my syllabi. I can’t do ANY of that until I get my loan. It’s aggravating. I don’t know what I can do to light a fire under the Financial Aid offices to see if they’d get it too me faster. Mom practically has all of it spent already…
I have my meeting with my other supervising librarian on Wednesday at 10:30 in the morning. I also have to start next week by retraining myself to get up early again so that I can get used to waking up since I’ll be needing to get up at about 6:30 or so in order to have enough time to do everything so that I can make it to the school on time. Oy… Not easy for a natural night owl like myself.
