Sorry: Take Two Steps Back

So... It's the end of weekend in which I accomplished very little and feel somewhat meh. I had a lot to do this weekend, from balancing the books, to putting two invoices totaling about 3,000 together that are a month old, to overhauling a website. I got none of the above mentioned, and I still haven't submitted my schedule nor have I got my class schedule done. Every class I want to take has some prereq that I have not taken because I am a failzor and dropped American Lit I again this semester. It is preventing me from finishing my A.S., which would erase all of my prereqs for 300-level courses. So... I can't take GUI Programming in C++, Introduction to Information Systems, Data Base Concepts, Business Policy and Strategy... none of it until I get all of this shit straightened out. And it's all my fault. And I have no other courses left to take, because completing English will give me credit for all of them. What I am left with is... Finance and accounting courses that I AM eligible for at the 300 level. Does anyone smell a minor? or 2? Oy vey. I feel like every time I catch a break, I shoot myself in the foot again. I am usually not this pathetic, but hey, give me my once a semester fuck me post, eh? There are outs though, but they involve American Literature. Go figure. I could arrange to take the CLEP test next week, somehow miraculously pass it, and then somehow miracu - nope actually that wouldn't help at all. Nope, I've got no outs. I would just like to point out that an English course is preventing me from enrolling in C++. WTF? O and for all you who are thinking "he must be retarded" I am great at English, I had an A in it up til I stopped going. This is the third time I have withdrawn from the course consecutively. For some reason which I cannot fathom, this is the one course I cannot pass. I took AP 11 and AP 12 with no problems... senior year, I fell asleep during the Mid-Term and Jesus woke me up (you'll meet him soon enough) with 15 minutes left, and I crushed it. English is something I've always excelled at... it's just a mental block or something. I can't figure it out.

Well Fuck it. I'll figure it out. I always do. But I can't help but think that I am going to spend 6 years as an undergraduate student. And that is sad. Moving on....

Its 1:35 AM, and I am in Va Bch, and I have to be in Richmond at 9 am for work. And I am blogging. O well... I did accomplish something though, and thats get my number on my iPhone ported over from Verizon so now my old number in back and I can give out business cards without writing on them... which is embarassing to say the least. Allright, enough of a sob story. I'm driving home and going to work.

Things to do tomorrow:

Call ODU.
Email every professor in the IT Department asking for overrides.
Prey.
If above task is successful, call Merry.
If not, continue on list.
Work.
Sleep.
Aye.

And Heffer, it's all starting to make sense to me. That hollow loneliness, the feeling it can't last forever. It's not long before I follow you, Brother. But I am torn between two lives. I see how both play out, and I like your way better. ... I had a complex thought but then my iTunes starting playing Gospel from Lord knows where (you see what I did there) and my focus is gone... where did this come from? ... as I went down to the river to pray, studying about that good ole way... who is Alison Krauss? Anyways...

Open the gates and seize the day. Don't be afraid and don't delay.
