Tuesday's maze

Last night in History of American Religion (I have it every Monday night from 7-10pm) I was most incredibly bored with defining/classifying/contrasting Religion, the Church, Denominations, Movements, Sects and Cults after the first couple and hours and embarked on a new endeavor: drawing mazes. It was my first one ever and Jessica said that it was promising or-something-or-other, although she solved it within seconds. I would have used the time to read but I didn't want to make it too obvious to professor sonnenberg that he had lost my attention.

So today was incredibly stressful, but really its all my fault. I’ve given myself a pretty big load of hard classes during this soccer season and working is just adding to the chaos. I thought it all would be gravy but when I put off studying to do who knows what I’ve found that I’m just wearing myself out. Today was a perfect example: I was given labor day weekend to read the novel A Horse and His Boy for my Lit class and started it Monday night with a paper due on it Tuesday - no sweat. I stayed up the night reading, not very successful. Late that night my old roomie Jordan decides to tell me that we have a quiz in Biology that next morning. So I put off reading and got up a couple hours early for 8am bio and did a little cramming - only to get to class to find out that the quiz was actually not until THURSDAY. Not too happy about wasting the morning I skipped Chapel to finish the novel and the paper that was due at noon, which was incredibly tricky to do being deprived of sleep. I also had a quiz on the Greek alphabet for my next class that I was to leave early for my soccer game. The plan: cram for the quiz during Lit class - only I forgot to bring the alphabet with me to study (Andy ended up texting it to me in my lit class). When the academic day was all said and done I was able to turn in all appropriate assignments and I aced the Greek quiz - BUUUUT I was battling my physical condition which was starving and tired because I hadn’t had a break to catch a bite or a wink ANNND all of this I incurred by using my weekend unwisely. NEVER WILL I DO THIS AGAIN…… just imagine if we didn’t have Monday off.

I have a contusion - or “constiution,” says Jessica - in my left quad. Serena drove her knee right into my leg during practice yesterday morning- but its ok because I stole the ball from her and proceeded to score while she tumbled =). Happy Labor Day Serena!

We beat William Jessup University today 12-0... Another game that doesn’t need very much attention, so the only thing I’m going to add is that I scored 4 more goals and that puts me at 14 (I reached my goal).

I got a new printer!! It’s called the “all-in-one”, that is because it has a scanner and copier as well - sweet deal. I bought it online from Best Buy. The other day I got a confirmation that said “print this receipt and bring it to the store, blah blah blah.” Well seemingly since I was purchasing a printer I didn’t actually have one at the time so I really couldn’t print the receipt - this was loads of fun explaining, though I don’t understand why I had to (I just wrote down all the pertinent info on a little post-it and handed it to the guy). Anyway, I think everyone in Fullerton had a return or exchange, some glitch in their computer/electronics, or a purchase online to pick up tonight around 8:30 because it took like 2 YEARS for any service. There was even a dude who cut me in line, only to apply for a BestBuy credit card and get denied over and over and over again. Finally, after being helped by 3 different employees and a search party for a printer that had a piece of paper stapled with my name in HUGE letters on it, I got what I came for and split.

I got back to the dorms and starting unwrapping my printer from its packaging - it was like Christmas! - and then set it all up and laddi daddi da only to find that there was no USB cable. At first I frantically searched the room and told my roomies that hiding it from me was only funny for so long. Then I did the unmentionable: I read the directions, and there it was written NOTE: you may need to purchase a USB cord separately. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW when I was at BestBuy… but what are ya gonna do right?
