after 6 years of "life experience" i head back to obtain my M.A. starting this monday. already i have had 2 MAJOR panic attacks, multiple minor ones, migraines and night-uopn-night of restless sleep.
the MAJOR attacks were brought on by things outside of my control: class changing it's start date (twice), and a ginormous brouhaha over my language placement and would i (or wouldn't i) have a professor. awesome.
minor attacks brought on by: price of textbooks, price of 'accessories' (pens, pencils, highlighters, file folders, etc.), pricing a netbook for class use, realizing i'm going to have to buy a new printer, being put in a language class *quite* above my ability, having textbooks arrive later than i needed, trying to get books read, trying to catch up in my language and...OH YEAH...class doesn't start until monday.
plus, there is the added stresses of: not having a job (since april- thanks a lot economy), not getting enough financial aid because last year i HAD a job that made decent-ish money, not finding any outside scholarships, not being able to find a new job because none of the ones available make enough money (due to being a student first, i will be returning to work PART time, and part time jobs pay crap.) and the 10 or so interviews i've had since april have not panned out, due to my going back to school. woot.
oh yeah- and- to top it all off my gas/electric bill claims i never paid for july, but i have the carbon check copy that's from that month! WTF?!?! how do i begin to contest that?
ACK!!!!!!
i need rosetta stone mechanically embedded in my brain.
