I have to get out of here.
Four days until I'm free from here.
Today has been really bad for me. I got up late, and the dog has just been driving me crazy. If she doesn't stop chewing on everything, I'm going to kick her! Goodness. Then I got online, only to discover that my history and Biology classes are mainly on Blackboard. I hate Blackboard, just so you know. And I have been trying to print everything off, and nothing has been working. So I've gotten frustrated by that. Then I go to get the mail. My books didn't come, and yesterday, I got one of the wrong ones. I got a letter, saying I didn't pay my tuition bill for this semester, and if I don't pay on Sunday, they'll withdraw all of my classes. Thanks go out to my parents for not remembering to pay my school payment. I go to a school that costs, like $14,000 a semester. Do you know how much they had to pay this time? Because of all of my scholarships? $351. That's it. And they didn't pay it. I'm just frustrated with everything around here.
I want to be back at school. I have a feeling this semester is going to be different. I'm not going to have as much free time, partially because I have 18 hours, but mostly because of the specific classes that I actually have. They seem like they're going to have a lot of homework. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
I've packed for the past half hour or so. There is still so much more to pack. I don't feel like lugging out the suitcases, so I haven't done that yet. But I just have so much more that I have to jam into bags. Sheesh. Now I have to get back to school early on Sunday because my parents have to pay the bill. Even though I was going back early to pick up Baloney from the airport anyway. Whatever.
I want to see my 5 best friends at school so badly. Luckily, I've seen Jeannie several times over break, so that has made it easier. And I talk to Peter a lot, but I still miss him, Eric, Brian, and Kristen. We have so much to do when we get back. We have to plan out our TV schedule, plan out when we're going to eat, who's going to eat lunch with whom on different days, make up more chore charts, unpack, all of this crap.
I need to go to Wal-Mart. But I need Mom's money to go to Wal-Mart because I need school supplies and such, but I don't have any money. I have to use my checkbook to pay for my Psychology book once I get back to school.
I have to get out of here. I'm losing it.
Love Always,
Alison
