So I figured I should let you in on the crappy parts of this college life deal too. So I woke up this morning and decided to wash my clothes. I went down to the laundry room to find out that it was going to cost me $1.00 to wash a load and $1.00 to dry my clothes. I only had two dollars in cash. So I decided to just get change and wash what I thought was necessary. Well.....the change machine wasn't giving change!!!!!! I was beginning to get a little irritated. Shortly after that I decided to charge it to my Blazer Bucks account. I swipe my card and guess what.....Insufficient Funds!!!!!! Then, I become angry.lol. I call my mom and she puts $25 in my account so I can wash my clothes. My mom then gets the news that the money could take up to one business day to be processed. I become infuriated!!!!!!! However, by the time I get all the way back to my room my mom calls and says that the funds have already been transferred and I can start washing my clothes. So 4 hours, 5 loads of clothes, & $10 later....I have clean clothes :)
Little did I know, this was only the beginning of my day. I had to take a Math quiz today and the deadline was today!!! No exceptions. Well all quizzes must be taken in the MLL (Math Learning Lab). So I go to the MLL and get on the computer and start my quiz. First, the calculator on the computer wasn't working, then the computer froze up and I had to quit the quiz. This counted as my grade!!! I only finished 4 questions before it shut me out. I was so mad!!! Fortunately, I am allowed to take the quizzes twice. So I was going to take the other quiz while I was there but the server was completely down!!! I waited for an entire hour before the instructor said she would take my name and let the teacher know I was there and was trying to take it. I was so upset!!! I was going to have to take a zero on my first math quiz!!!!!! Thankfully, my instructor just posted that the quiz wouldn't be due until Sept. 2 :) Wahoo!!!!
Then tonight, my dad hurt my feelings because all I'm trying to do is grow up to be a RESPONSIBLE adult!!! I thought I was trusted, but little did I know.....I'm not. & now Shayne fell asleep on me and I watched a very depressing movie that I thought was suppose to be funny (Sunshine Cleaning). Oh geeze.....I should have just stayed in bed.
The things I learned today:
1.) Always pre-load your Blazer Bucks, just in case.
2.) Just don't procrastinate!!!!!!! Do things ahead of schedule.
3.) The joy of the Lord will be my strength.....because I have nothing else.

I'm glad you are sharing your experience about college with us, I love reading them. Remember who gives us streghten thur all things. Remember that parents don't always react the way they should, you didn't come with owners manuals. But, I do hope that you do well on math.....
