Yes, that is the sound of me screaming (in my head!!). First off, remind me to never, never blog about not having a headache. That is a sure way to bring one on! It hurts. Stupid headache.
The rest of my screaming is because I have been trying to enroll in classes for the fall. I need to help my family out and apparently the economy isn't going to get better anytime soon and I don't feel like I can wait any longer, so I have been working on the enrollment process. I got approved for a grant at MCC (yea to free college!!) and then wanted to enroll. Well, all the classes I need are full. Of course. Yep, of course they are. So then I try Rio Salado. I didn't really want to go this way because with online courses you tend to study everything and not focus entirely on what the teacher wants, so it takes a lot more time. A lot more, like hours per week more. But, that is my last option if I want to go in the fall.
So I try to register online and it won't work, so I call and register for BIO 201 (Human Anatomy and Physiology 1) and try to register for ENG 102. They say I have to take a placement test because my last English class at MCC was in 1997. Stupid, I thought because it should still be ok. I call them back a few hours later and they say that no, I don't need a test and they will register me. So then I am registered for 2 classes and I think I am all good when I ask to be transferred to Financial Aid. They then say that I need to drop all classes until the Financial Aid is finalized or risk paying for the classes myself. I am like- Are you kidding me? It was such a pain to get the classes in the first place and my aid has already been approved on the federal level. She says they don't have a record of it with Rio yet cause I had to transfer it from MCC and to not register for classes until they say so. Now I am seriously frustrated and slightly confused. Since I doubt there will be a problem getting the aid, I am staying in my classes and will drop them later if I have to. Stupid college. Stupid headache. Just stupid all around!!
Hope your day is a lot less stupid than mine!!

Sounds like a frustrating day. I have been dealing with headaches for the past week or so. I am so ready for them to go AWAY!! They are not migraines, but annoying and way too consistent for me!
Hope your evening is a better one!
I want to start taking classes too. But I can't even get online and see my records becaus they are old. Hopefully all my classes are still good. They were all taken over 10 years ago. I don't want to redue them all.
Anyway, you are always welcome to come over and take the kids swimming and or whatever. Or if I am available just drop the kids off. This week will be to busy but next week or after my kids are bored 99% of the time.
The going back to school and financial aid stuff is such a pain but so worth it once it all gets into place. Good for you, stick to it! Hurray!
Oh my heck! My mom (who also gets migraines) and I always say the same thing, that if you talk about not having a migraine, you definitely will get one. lol
Maybe you could try adding the classes you need at MCC in the Fall? Just go to the class a couple times and see if they will let you add it. Or as school gets closer, keep checking online to see if students drop them and room becomes available.
YEA!!! for free school! I do hope that you get the classes you want and hopefully you dont have to dedicate 60 or so hours a week to it. I wont mention the h------- word on the comment either!
