So I just woke up and she isn't even here! Sad times. Hungry times. The place we were gonna order from doesn't open till 11, so maybe she's planning to get home for then? I'm gonna wait and see.

Don't eat a pizza for breakfast. It's just a bad idea. Unless you have the metabolism of a hero.

Shut up. You're not my grown-up!

Plus your reasoning makes no sense.

My reasoning that pizza is bad for you?

I have been on an Odyssey to take anatomy and physiology in the fall.
My college transcript (from the school I graduated from) has my Bio 101 course marked as "Diversity of Life." I was a history major, so they weren't fussed about which bio class I took, they just wanted a general bio to fulfill my science requirement. Well, the prerequisite for A&P is Bio 101, not "Diversity of Life." So I had to contact the school I took the Bio 101 class at... Way back in 1999... This community college doesn't send things electronically... Has to receive requests in writing, fax, snail mail, or in person only. So after 2 weeks of messing with their student records department, I got my transcript and sent it to the A&P professor who was blocking my registering for his class because my "Diversity of Life" credit wasn't good enough.
Now he's saying the course is more than 5 years old and I need to retake it... Nary a mention of this policy until he saw my transcript. It would have been nice to know this before I spent 2 weeks getting my fucking transcript. My degree is more than 6 years old... Does that magically make it invalid? Does that mean if I were to take advanced history courses, I'd first need to retake Western Civ?
/annoyed
I get it, I really do. I wasn't a science major, I took the course 14 years ago, it's not in the current working knowledge center of my brain... But it's still there. I took a chem entrance exam and passed, after three days of studying with a chem book from the library and not having taken a chem class since high school.
I'm not going to fight it. I'm going to take the Bio 101 class again. Then, Spring semester, I'm going to take his section of A&P, and be the top student in his class... That'll show him. GRRRR! School rage.

The news wasn't good from the outset mate. Let him go with dignity for both you and him.....

Wishing you strength and courage and lots of love

All hope is not lost yet. If it comes to it, we will let him go with dignity as per his wishes in his advance directive. I'm grateful that I don't have to make that decision - I have had to do it before and it was hell.

Now the A&P prof, who is also chair of the bio department, sent me another e-mail. Asking if I took an exam on molecular cell biology how would I do? If he's going to let take a test to get out of the Bio course, I'll take it! Guess I'm off to the library to pick up some books on cellular biology 14 years is a long time, but the topics he mentioned do ring distant bells in my brain...

Let's see......

Father with major heart condition being a total dickhead - check
Mother with minor medical problems being driven to an ealy grave by dickhead father - check
Hubby feeling much better and earning more $$ so he can go riding across the paddock in October - check
#1 Daughter back from Central Australia and complaining that she didn't see ANY snakes (remind her that it IS winter) - check
#1 Son has been seriously introduced to the joys of IKEA (No I didn't buy ANYTHING!) - check
Creditors not after us for $$ - check
Weather sunny with a few high clouds - check
Garden growing at phenomenal rate (It's fucking winter guys! But do they listen to me....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO) - check
Personally? Feeling quite good - check

So yeah, life's a bowl of guacamole

I learned that I have a severe phobia of things touching my eyes. It didn't help that the eye doctors I saw today were total assholes about it and made me feel like shit.

Other than that I'm ok. Finally got all the loan money I need yesterday to go off to grad school!

I'm in love
Listening to silly love songs and blushing at the thought of him. Planning a bright future with the yin to my yang. Life can't get any better can it?

Super tired. I've been designing a new network with inadequate power source and under unreasonable time constraints. QC has not been fond the work perform from by local nationals. I hope to leave this in two months for much needed vacation.
