Life updates

On another note, school wise I'll be staying right where I am now. It's tad of a let down, but I perhaps wasn't being very reasonable about my chances in the first place. I can make the school am at now work and if might just be easier to receive federal aid since its a public university.

Oddly, I'm not as upset as I thought I would be over all this. I've been so tired this week between work and insomina that I haven't had the ENGERY to be upset.

Work is going to odd though for my last two months. I'll be training my replacement. This is a rather odd thing for me as I've never had train a replacement before. I'm not even sure how to go about teaching/showing her all of the million little things you do as a assistant without thinking. Part of me wishes I was staying, but unless I want to be another three-four years on my degree I need to be able to take classes during the day.

Long weekend and lots to do. Cleaning, cleaning, laundry, and more cleaning. I also plan to finish watching The Key to Time box set(Doctor Who). Or maybe I shouldn't since upon watching the Ark in Space the other night with a friend I declared "Tom has a great bum."

All the cool kids are doing it...

Life (and a Doctor Set of Doctor Who DVD'S) have kept me rather busy the last week or so.

Here are some updates on the life of History Geek:

• I'm really starting to re-think my University of choice. I emailed my admissions advisor on Friday letting her know that the correct transcript would be mail on Monday. Today I got a letter of rejection dated: you guessed it Monday. Shoot me.
• My boss is either evil or stupid. Or both.
• I hate the dentist. I swear I don't have any teeth without fillings now!
• I really should not be fancying Tom Baker.
• Because my mother fancies him, and I'm still creeped out over us both having a thing for Sean Connery and young Harrison Ford.
• I really didn't need to know I might have been convinced during a romantic night of Doctor Who and Masterpiece theatre. I really didn't.
• The Little Empress likes fig newtens. Is there nothing she won't steal from me and eat?

Looking up

The trouble with the grade point average has been fixed. All should be will in a few days. I over-reacted it seems. Hell, I tend to always over-reacted


In other news the interview today went very well. If all goes right in a few weeks I will have a new job!

Also is it wrong of me to want the TARDIS (Doctor Who) to land sometime in the regin of Richard II?

Zero to pissed and back again

700pm: I'm so pissed off right now I can't even see straight. I busted my ass to get a C in that damn political science class and the university is telling me oh sorry but now you can't come back to 2007.

WHAT!?!

Since when do a B and a C get you booted the hell out? This is fucking up so much stuff I can't even start. What's even better? I can't even talk to anyone over there because they've all gone home for the day.

I'm so fucked. All that work I did is for nothing because no other U is going to take me, especially not prestigious U.

*makes Hulk smash noises*

745pm: And..and...*takes deep breath*

Okay, mom made me calm down and look at it with out panicking. It seem unlike my old college (where most of my credits are at) they do not automatically replace a D or F with the grade received on repeat. You have to file a letter of intent. Of course my advisor didn't inform me of this when I told her I was repeating the class.

So tomorrow I will call them and see if they will please replace the F with the C. I've already email my advisor at prestigious U telling her that there was an error on my transcript and I'm trying to have it corrected. With all luck this is just a minor speed bump.

For your amusement

Found this over on livejournal and thought some of you would get a kick out of it.



If you mock up do we not...uhm...whisper to each other louder?

Sick day redeux

So here's hoping they call me for a formal interview in the next few days. I did pick up one of the new Doctor Who books while there. Then headed over to half-price books to turn my application in over there. I picked up a few books from the clearance bin and happened upon my prize of the day.

Riverside Chaucer 3rd edition for 14.98.
