The Wreck of the Day

So I thought today would be a lovely start to the new semester.

I got up at 6:45 am (with little difficulty after Christmas break), got ready for class and off I went, with no traffic difficulties. In fact, I left later than I should have but ended up getting to class early.

I went to my drawing class (which I ended up dropping later) then attempted to get into a different drawing class so that I would only have to go downtown to school two days a week. The class was full...so I ended up heading home, awaiting permission by the instructor to get into the class.

While at home, I contemplated the fact that if I were to drop any class, I would have to do it today in order to receive a full refund. So I drive back down there (it's about 20 minutes one way) and find my advisor walking down the hall. Thank goodness! I needed her help. So after discussing everything yet again, we decide it's best if I drop my Contemporary Art History class and wait to see if I get into the other drawing class. GREAT.

So I head to the Registrar's office and wait for one hour until it opened back up after lunch. During my wait, my advisor comes back and tells me I can get into the digital imaging class and could drop the drawing class as an option. Oh Lordy.

Finally, after this back and forth saga, I drop the drawing class and add the digital imaging class.

Whew...what a crazy day.

To make a long story even longer....

After much relief, I am pulling out of the parking lot when I see this guy about to back into me!

WHAM...he does.

And, of course, there's a HUGE-O crater in my bumper with no damage to his car (at least that we could see). Dat gum it!

In conclusion to my long saga, I can only hope that tomorrow will be better. Thank God His mercies are new every morning.

Ugh. I'm so sorry about that. I hate days like that but then I always tell myself that I'm not due for another for a looong time. [The sweet little lies we tell ourselves. ;0)]
