All Things Woompty

Bettering myself

There's been a cold snap going on around here lately, and it's been making it hard for me to get out of bed. Never mind the fact that I'm someone who loves to sleep, just the fact that the mornings find me all warm and buried in my super snuggly sheets with a purring cat next to me makes it almost impossible to get me out of bed. So yeah, this morning was rough for me and I totally got to work half an hour late. And I was wearing jeans because man, I just could not handle putting together an outfit that was both warm and professional looking. But hey, I wore the dark wash jeans and some heels, so it was totally a business casual outfit. Okay, maybe it was casual business, I don't know.

Speaking of casual business, I've finally up and decided to Do Something With My Life other than just hang out in the same job for the next 20 years. So I'm heading back to school in January to get my MBA through one of those universities aimed at working professionals. They do these nifty 9 week semesters, with classes meeting once a week for like...4 hours. Which is fine, I'd rather have one really long night than have to coordinate my schedule around class 2 or 3 times a week.

The only problem is that there's only one of my required prerequisites open to me in the January-February semester, and it meets on Thursdays. And I'm going to be gone on the third Thursday of the semester (because I will be on my way to Meatacon! Yay!), which is the night of the first test in the class. And really, when the class meets only 9 times, I can understand if a professor objects to students missing a session. So now who knows if I'm going to be able to start in January after all. I've emailed the professor to see if it would be okay for me to just make up the work/test, and if he says no, then I guess I'll wait til February.

I was momentarily stressed out about the whole thing, but then I decided to say fuck it; whatever happens is what's supposed to happen and I'll start school when I'm supposed to start. In the meantime, I need to start trying to remember how to do things like study. And take notes.

But hey, at least I finally have an excuse to go buy a plethora of school supplies! I wonder if I can get a tax write-off for the fancy pens.
