Stress
I keep telling myself I shouldn’t be, but then I start thinking about everything that needs to be done and everything that is going to be coming up in the future.
1. For some odd reason, I haven’t been able to access my courses online. I was told to complete the student orientation and that a week before classes started, I’d have access to the blackboard. But there’s nothing. Absolutely nothing.
2. I haven’t received a phone call from my professor. Again, I’m suppose to get one a week before the class starts. (Classes start on this upcoming monday.)
3. I’m beginning to wonder if I never got enrolled into classes, however my books are sitting right to my left, the picture of a major dam for a book called Hydraulics staring at me like its trying to petrify me. I laughed when I saw that one of the books was an updated addition for the Fluid Mechanics book I actually still have from undergrad school.
4. My supervisor decided to change things on me and now my quantities are out of whack and we’re behind on testing, which I absolutely despise. So I’ve been working from about 6 in the morning until nearly 5 the last couple of days and I don’t feel I’ve made a big enough dent with school starting on monday.
5. Financial aid is taking forever, or took me forever to find a gazillion documents that I don’t feel they need, and I’m not sure if my bills for grad school will be on time.
On the plus side, my craft room is coming along nicely. I painted more shelving last night and have been reorienting things. Next comes cleaning the carpets and installing the overhead light. However, tonight I’m going out, so… that may be a bit… like this weekend.
I’ve decided that Elko needs a craft store. The section at walmart isn’t cutting it anymore. I went all over town to every possible store I could think of looking for butterfly stencils. No luck. So I’m thinking of making a trip to Salt Lake this weekend.
Things have been okay, especially if I remind myself not to stress. I’ve just been preoccupied with life and my thoughts.
Reaper decided he was going to get into the green houses I set up over the weekend. While popping the lid back out on one to the correct position, I noticed I had seedlings growing already! *jumps for joy*
Don’t you just hate it when you keep having to make phone calls to “correct mistakes”. It seems these days that more and more things just go wrong. Don’t forget to have fun this weekend, it’s your last before school and hard work starts, not that I’m trying to stress you out though….

I love being in a town where we have two large craft stores (Michaels and Jo-Ann Farbrics) two big-box hardwares (Home Depot and Lowes) and also two regular almost everything else stores (Uber-Wally and Target).

Rick - With it being leap year, I have plans, at least for friday. And then hopefully saturday won’t be too painful and I can get out of town for a day. :D
Darvin - We have Home Depot and we’re suppose to be getting a Lowes in the near future. But no Micheals, no Jo Anns, not even a Hobby Lobby. It sucks royally. I either get things online or do with out. You just made me jealous. :P
