Thoughts at 7:15am on a Saturday

I have been up since about 5:30 this morning. I didn't sleep very well last night, hardly at all actually--but it seems to be my new sleep routine, so maybe it was a decent night of sleep, who knows. For about 4-6 months I haven't really been able to stay asleep for an entire night, I usually wake up about every two hours. Just recently, the night before last and the night before that, was the first time in months that I have been able to stay asleep for more than 6 hours straight. I'm not sure what is up, but it is really annoying and is actually quite draining.
Anyway, I woke up this morning and realized I needed another class for my CFLE requirement (Certified Family Life Educator), Communication and Relationships. I hate trying to organize a class schedule around a work schedule. It drives me crazy. I looked online and it is offered during another class I am required to take, Human Sexuality. Now, this Communication class is offered during the day, but I would miss the second half of the day at work on both Tuesdays and Thursdays.. I guess I will need to talk to my supervisor about that. And if that's the case, I will need to move my Statistics class around, as I was going to take it from 7:30-8:20 every morning so I would only miss about 30 minutes from work every morning. If I move that around, the only other option for me taking it would be on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, then which I'd have to rearrange my International Requirement course I have chosen, which is International Children's Literature. I try to figure out different ways I could make this all work, and I realize there is a class offered online that would fulfill the IR requirement I need, and this class is Global Educational Perspectives. I finally feel like I have somewhat of an idea to make this schedule work.. and I notice...
1. The communication class, at both times offered, are completely full and not accepting new students.
2. I have a hold on my record, I guess I owe $477.69 for tuition from this semester--I need to follow up on that with my counselor who assists with that.
3. The online IR course I want to take has ONE opening remaining.
Ugh. Talk about frustration. Just when you think you have it all figured out.. how annoying. Now I have to wait til at least Monday to hear back from my advisor about the excess tuition balance on my account, and hopefully I will be able to add classes on Monday or Tuesday of next week..hopefully. I have thought about just paying the remaining balance with a credit card or something, but I just can't afford to have it on there. Ugh. I have no idea!
Then, I realize something. I didn't do my internship journal for the week, it was due yesterday at noon! Ahhhh! I hurried and finished it.. it was late of course-- but I hope I get credit. Stupid GRE threw me all out of wack I guess.
I took that yesterday, got a decent score I suppose. Not as good as I was hoping, but not as bad as it could have been. I'm still hoping it's close enough to the minimum standard of the Educational Psychology department that they will accept me into the program if the rest of my application is strong and promising. We'll see.
I guess it's just been one of those days, and it continued into the morning hours. It is Saturday and I have no other plans I guess than to sit around. I will probably work on more homework, do some house chores.. but I honestly would love to just get out and have fun. It seems like it's been a while for that. But, that all comes with moving forward in life and walking away from situations and people that were just bringing you down, and not truly there when you need them most.
On that note, I really miss Rascal. He has been down with my mom since last Sunday, almost a week. They took care of him while I was studying for the GRE and so I wouldn't have to worry about him while I took the test. Unfortunately, I was sick most of the week and didn't study as much as I would have liked, but I guess that's life. Anyway, I won't see him until Wednesday, and I'm dieing. I miss that little fur face like crazy, I'm tempted to just drive down and get him right now because of how much I want to see him. It just seems silly because I am living on a tight budget and gas to and from Price today, and on Wednesday for Thanksgiving, would be pricey. Gahhhh!!
Sorry for the venting, I guess it needed to get out somewhere. lol

Nicole I'm sorry that is soooo frustrating! That happened to me this semester with my schedule, I had so many requirements and had no idea when to take them, and then some of what I needed was all full and etc. etc. etc. I hope it all gets worked out for you soon. Hopefully someone will drop one of the courses and you'll be able to get in to one.
