Finally, a breakthrough!
For those of you who read this blog, or those of you who get to hear my rants moments after my fury comes forth, you know that I have had some red-tape trouble regarding school. For a brief recap, I'll remind you that I have 3 more math classes to take, each have to be taken one semester at a time. I had a chance to take my next class over summer session, but some severe miscommunications between myself and the school made that impossible. I'm now destined for 3 more semesters at BMCC before I even transfer over to a 4 year school. The theory is, is that once I get there I'll have my associates, and will only have to take the classes required for my major. This schoool thing is going to take years.
So I try to register for this next math class, Trigonometry for Idiots, and the registration program says I can't. My fury starts to build. I call the school and they let me know I'll have to come down, today, and register in person with all the new kiddies. I start getting involved in an internal harranging. I start practicing using words like "civil servants", "Righteous indignation" and "instituion is here to serve the students". I get ready for a fight. I walk to school in a blooming frenzy and get there ready to speak to every single member of the staff.
I was so wrong. Zonino!!!
There was not 1,000 new applicants/registrants. I was helped immediately, and most importantly, I was actually helped! Turns out I wasn't able to register for the class because it would take me over the allowed 18 hours of class that BMCC allows. They asked me what my GPA was, and I boasted about my Dean's List accomplishment. The kind man helping me was unimpressed and asked for the corresponding number. 3.84, I beam! He walks away to see if he can overrride the block. I start getting ready again, holding 3 months of paperwork and a bad attitude. He comes back and clears the block. I am registered!
Sometimes, things work out. Not being accustomed to things going so well, I went and got my eyebrows waxed. Ouch.

Ahh, the punishment we put ourselves through... Does this mean the next (rare) moment I have a good day I should just go and get my ass-crack waxed to make sure it's on par with the rest of my life?

Make sure you get your ass bleached, while you're at it. It's all the rage.
