i ordered my books for my courses last week. i was assured they'd all be at my house either saturday or monday, minus the math book that was out of stock but on order. saturday, nothing. monday, nada. tuesday, zip! wednesday, i call the bookstore...the math books came in today, and we'll be sending it out with the rest of your books today too...WHAT?!?! so i had the pleasure of emailing all of my profs and letting them know, i'm sorry, but i can't do any of your assignments until i get my books, hopefully i can turn something in early next week for you! yep, that's the first impression i wanted to make.....not! ugh!
looking at the syllabi (is that proper plural form of "syllabus"?), i'm starting to wonder what i've gotten myself into! i could drop a course, but i'd really hate to. if i can manage it, i will take the full load of 15 credits this semester. summer is much shorter, so i'm not sure if 15-18 is realistically possible or not, and who knows what the fall term holds...many surprises, i'm sure! (if you're reading this from "gtgf" go check out my "overwhelmed and over-extended" post) i'm beginning to wonder if graduating in december will be possible or not. i'd probably ought to start changing my mindset to a may '09 graduation instead of december '08.

so tomorrow, we go in for the EEG and MRI. nick's EKG turned out fine, so he's on the new headache meds and they really seem to be doing the trick. he's been hyper and crazy and basically "normal" (if there is such a thing for him) for the past 2 evenings, it's good to have my son back after a 6 week hiatus! i hate it when my kids aren't feeling well, even if it means i get a little peace and quiet, because i hate to see them miserable.
...and it's that time of year again, when the insanity starts, and you're carrying around this sign-up sheet for girl scout cookie sales! we missed the meeting over the break, so elisabeth just got her information monday night. besides my big order that i wrote in last night, she just started selling cookies today. she's already sold 42 boxes and got all three of our school's principals to order from her, she's really impressing me this year. last year she was so shy and scared to ask people, and this year she's pretty bold compared to what i expected! i love how much better she is lately at having confidence and concentration. it's awesome!
okay, off to start reading genesis for my old testament survey course...wheeeeeee!!!
