"Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles."

That quote comes from Charlie Chaplin. And let me just say, thank god they aren't permanent!! Cause today was rather troublesome... LOL okay, not the whole day, but as usual, it had its ups and downs.

Last night, I actually got a full night of sleep!!! I made sure I was actually lying in my bed by 11 and left my phone on my night table. I wanted to play on facebook more, and play a game, but I decided I NEEDED decent sleep! And I got it! The fact that my ass hole neighbors didn't play their music last night helped as well.

Today I had my math class and my English class. Let me just say, I can guarantee, already, that I will have to get a tutor for math. I was already a little worried since I had taken a semester off, however I got into class today and almost cried! I hope the instructor isn't actually THIS bad. Because he was seriously TERRIBLE today! Read role, hit points of the syllabus, then went straight into the math. Which is fine, I kinda expected that with a math class. However, he stood at the front of the class and just wrote on the board. What's so wrong with that you ask? Well, he was giving the definition for this, and the definition of that, then would give an example. Again, you may still be asking, what's the issue? Bear with me... He didn't give us time to work the examples (I learn math better by DOING the problems, not watching someone else do them) and when he was working the example problems (he was doing them in 2 minutes, his degree is in math! DUH) he was not explaining a thing he was doing. I don't know if he expected us to know what he was doing already, or what. But by the end of class, all I had was a bunch of ridiculous notes, and the want to cry.

My English class wasn't too bad. It's gonna be interesting to see how I balance all of these classes that will have a lot of at home work to do... We'll be doing 3 or 4 essays, which really isn't bad, but we've got a lot of other junk to do in that class too. We'll be reading short stories, and plays, and doing a review on a movie. It just feels like a lot right now. I hope I can get into a groove where I can juggle it all. I do feel like I'm already at an advantage in that class though. The instructor says most of our papers are going to be research papers or papers where we will be citing sources, which in the class below this one, they never did. I however, when I was in Cali, took an English class and several of our papers had works cited. So I do feel that in that way, I'm ahead. It actually kinda made me wanna go back to Cali (a lot does that to me) but this in particular, because now I kinda feel like Texas is dumb... LOL! If that makes sense. Not really the state, but I guess their standards for schools aren't as high as Cali schools? I dunno. I'm just hoping I'm right and knowing how to cite sources and use MLA format will in fact give me an advantage.

I've also decided, over the last two days back in classes, that people should NOT be aloud in college until they are at least 21. I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of immature, little jack asses. I didn't go to college straight out of high school because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I'm glad that I waited because I didn't waste money and time with classes that may have ended up being useless for me. But at the same time, I now, at 24, feel like I'm behind. And really, I kind of am. But seriously, yesterday in one of my classes I had 3 younger girls in class that I wanted to slap! I know that's terrible! But they came bouncing into class, HEHEHEH, HAHAHA, Lalalala, hehehe! Then they sit down, and start taking pics of each other and posting them on facebook. Yes, I facebook a lot! Or I really really used to. Not as much anymore. Then it starts again... HEHEHE, HAHAHAH, LALALALA, HEHEHEHE! (In their high pitched annoying voices!) Then one girl says, "Everybody in this class is gonna end up hating us!" Mind you, they were NOT at all trying to be quiet. I wanted to pipe up and say, "I already do!!" However, I can control what comes out of my mouth. Usually. Then another one of them says, "Oh well, we tend to have that effect on everyone!!" I wanted to chime in, yet again, with, "If you know you have that effect on people, why don't you learn better people skills?" Again, I refrained. Sigh. Once our instructor came in, she had us do the whole, say your name and give me a fact about you, thing. All 3 girls say, "My name's so and so, and I'm a cheerleader!" OOOHHHHHHH!!! I get it now!! Yeah, not gonna like these girls AT ALL!

I went to deposit a check today after class, up the street from my apt. My bank is inside a grocery store, which is in a little plaza. I was noticing today that in this plaza there's a nail place, a Starbucks, and a vision center!!! I'm excited about that because I haven't been to an optometrist in over 2 years, and I can tell I need new glasses. My lovely mother found out that she could put me on her eye insurance until I'm 25. So, I have insurance to be able to go!! Which is so nice, because I put off going to the Dr all the time due to no insurance. That includes the eye Dr. So, I popped in the vision center to see if they happened to take my moms insurance. AND... They do!!! :) So I have an appt for tomorrow afternoon. I'm so excited! I know that sounds ridiculous to be excited about glasses. But I NEED new ones! I can't see so well... :/ It's not fun!

LOL Sigh! WOW I had a lot to bitch about today! Glad I've decided to make Thursday's "Things I'm thankful Thursday!" :)
