Mostly when you the nice one, the quite one the one who stands in the background and watch's you family fade way I love my family with all my heart, As Crazy as life seems to be I'm still going . hope you guys get the whole college thing in order, good luck with that. <3

Thanks <3 I don't think there pain is going to go away anytime soon, I know its the darkness before the light too, but I wish my sisters will see what I see beside them coming into the whole picture of stress they seem to bring into my mother life, I love my family but sometimes they don't understand whats going on , and how my mother illness and how bad she is, they just don't get it, or don't want to get, or to see it. As far as my dad goes is he so far gone with the pain etc...... my sisters like to use poor them, I just don't get why my sisters are acting like this.

The business office at school has my account on a hold until financial aid gets my paperwork through. Which would be fine, except that it's time to register for next semester and I can't until they take the hold off. All the classes I want/need are filling up really quickly and I'm terrified I won't get into any classes next semester. They said my paperwork will be processed this week, but every day I can't register is another class that fills up :[ I'm freakin out.

Oh no! Do you have a backup plan as for what other classes you could take in case the ones that you were planning on taking fill up?? I don't know how it works at your school, but we do a thing called "blue cards" where a professor can give out blue cards to a certain amount of students so that a couple more kids can get into the class. Usually if we email the prof right before they close the class because it's filled, they will put you on the wait list and will blue card you in at the beginning of the semester...if you guys have something like that, I would definitely suggest doing that, email the prof right away and see if there is a waiting list to get into the class. A lot of kids end up registering and then don't go back to school the next semester, so you could get lucky that way too. I hope you can register soon! I know how stressful registering is, and that's without any of what you have going on

Ugh, I wish I had a backup plan. I mean luckily I can pretty much just take whatever I want for the next few semesters because I really only need 2 sciences and to catch up in math courses (and I can't take the science courses until I get to college algebra), but there are certain classes I wanted to take this semester but couldn't because they filled up before I could register so I'd planned to take them next semester. I do know every class has a wait list (I've never heard of blue cards so I'm assuming we don't use that system) but my only fear with wait listing is that I won't find out if I got in, or if I don't get in I'll be short too many credits to actually qualify for financial aid when it goes through. Worst case scenario is I do another semester like this one and pick whatever classes are still open regardless of what they are, but I really, really don't want to do that another semester.

You know, you would think if someone says after an interview "Ok, we'll look this over and give you a call by Monday to let you know if we think you're right for the job or not" that they would call whether I get the job or not... Oh well, I guess this means I'm back on the market for a damn job. Trying to find one is so difficult here since there are so many college students in this city. Well, at least this means I get to keep the lip ring in! So that's a plus! Who knows, maybe they'll end up calling sometime. /rant

I applied at the lego store up here last winter. They said they'd call by the end of that week. 2 weeks later, I got a letter in the mail informing me that they weren't choosing me for the job. Some places just don't know or follow proper etiquette. Hope you find a job soon, though!
More financial aid anger on my end. I got ANOTHER fucking letter from them, this time telling me I need to sign a form. Classes are still filling up and I still can't register. I'm going to have to resort to bullying them. I'm going in today to drop off this form and telling them they need to email the business office saying that they're processing my information and to take the hold off my account. I'm already 3 semesters behind being able to transfer so I cannot afford to sit out a semester just because they don't want to do their damn job. I'm so stressed out I'm nearly in tears about this every day.

Alright...seriously...let me paint a little picture before I go on about how much I hate my class...
My professor is the most anal person when it comes to grading anything that we turn in, this is not an exaggeration. She went off on our class a couple weeks ago about how we need to read her directions because people weren't following them when we wrote up our labs. She was legit yelling, people got the point and tried to step it up. Our class is full of juniors and seniors, we aren't stupid. This class should be an easy A...but no, not with this professor.
So, first lab, my partner and I did alright on, we got a B. This was before our prof went off on our class about not reading directions. Then, the next 2 labs that we turn in, we get a 14/20 and an 11/20...wonderful. The class average for all assignments have been under 70%, most of them under 60% for a class average. Seriously, if your class is doing THAT bad, you should fix the way you teach...we aren't dumb, she just can't teach. She tells us what she wants, we follow those directions, and then she goes off on us for doing what she said.
I'm never one to blame a professor for a grade I have received, but this is my one exception. Any other professor and 80% of our class would be getting A's. Instead, we're all struggling to get through the class with a B. I see my grade continually dropping and I've been putting hours and hours into my work.
I hate this class and I can't wait until December 7th when I'm done with it FOREVER and I also made sure I NEVER have this professor again.
/rant.

Oh, man, that sucks about your class. Will the grades affect anything else? I hope it doesn't, because that will just make it even more unfair. About 2 weeks to go, hang in there! My rant: People who see L-plate drivers and drive like complete idiots around them, I hope Voldemort finds you and "Avada Kedavra!" your head off.

That sound horrible Kelly! Defnintely never take that professor again, and make sure you go on one of those "rate my professor" websites and post how awful they are so other students know. I don't utilize it as often as I should, but I know a lot of people who do, so it's helpful. Hope you can make a decent grade!
What's an L-plate? I'm guessing a cop? Since you said people drive slow around them? Just curious :]
Mine's not a rant today, it's a result of my previous rant. Financial aid finally went through (the idiots put me in as out of state when it did go through, so I had more hoops to jump through) and they took the hold off my account! I was able to register, but the two classes I really wanted were full. The math I needed was mostly closed and waitlisted, and the french class also. So I registered for a few other classes but still didn't have at least 4 like I needed since I was waiting to see if I'd get into math. So yesterday I decide I can't wait anymore and went on to register for another class. I looked and the french class I wanted was OPEN! I snagged it before it could close again. Then, this morning I got an email saying the math I needed OPENED! I had to drop geology for it, but I'm in the class I needed and the class I wanted! Takes a load off my mind. I've been worried as hell for days.
