Speaking of chaos, I experienced the worst day of my life yesterday. And I'm not being melodramatic. It was legitimately awful. See, VCU had class registration yesterday and well, the Financial Aid Services here have no idea what they're doing. I've been trying to deal with loans and my tuition crap for literally two months, and it all caught up with me yesterday. I had a hold on my account which was preventing me from registering for classes, so I knew I had to march over to the Student Services office first thing in the morning to get rid of that hold once and for all. I set my alarm for 6:30 a.m., and woke up to torrential rain pouring in through my window, which I happened to leave open while I was sleeping. That in itself made for a very unpleasant awakening. I got up and proceeded to get ready for the long and stressful day ahead of me. At 7:30, I trudged 15 minutes in the pouring rain down to the Student Services office, only to be told that my hold would not be raised for another ten days. TEN DAYS. Furious, I walked all the way to the other side of campus to the Student Health Center to deal with a meningitis vaccination hold on my account. That was a fairly painless process, however, after signing a waiver to get me out of it (considering I HATE needles or any sharp object), I saw a commercial about a young girl who died of meningitis, and immediately regretted my decision. On my way back to my apartment, the rain began to fall even harder, this time with strong wind. As I was crossing the street, I came upon a a giant puddle, which appeared to be fairly shallow. FALSE. It was too wide to go around, so I had no other choice but to walk through it. I took one step and immediately my feet sank into the water, drenching my entire foot and ankle. I could just feel the people in the cars at the stoplight staring at me, either out of pity or sheer amusement. As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, as soon as I crossed through the puddle, a huge gust of wind started up, inverting my umbrella. In all my fury, I grabbed it in attempts to fix it, only to slice my finger open on the metal. Finally, I got back to my apartment, sneakers squeaking as I walked, crawled in bed, and just broke down. Later during the day, I was walking to my bedroom to get something when I got a splinter in my foot from the hardwood floors. THEN, to top it alllll off, I was walking through a park and stepped in a HUGE pile of dog poo. Yup, poo.
Anyways, I cannot wait until Christmas Break. It could not come soon enough.
