painful setback

I flubbed one of my classes. A flub is not as bad as a flunk or a fail, but I still have to retake it. Luckily, I had planned one mess-up in my plans so it doesn't put me off track, but I can't have any more screw-ups if I want to be done in a year. The problem is, I got sick and I just couldn't catch up. I managed to pass everything else though, SO I need a few A's in there to get the old GPA up. I'm pretty confident I can get that going. I'll need to take one of my harder classes with A&P2, the dreaded Cell Biology, but I balace it all out with a very easy elective. So, One hard class, one review class, and one breeze class and I should be ok. I'll take my last two classes over next Summer and all will be good. July '08, still headin' straight for ya.

Due to circumstances mostly beyond my control, I found myself dreadfully behind in my studies and final exam time in my wake. I lost a good 3 weeks due to being sick and when I'm sick, I just can't seem to absorb anything. I'm pretty sure I'm done with Forensics, A&P2....the jury is still out. If I get a C, I'll be happy. I just don't want to take it again and be forced to fall behind schedule. August of '08 should have me on a larger pay scale.

I'll admit money isn't everything, but when I don't have enough to ensure the basics and a little quality of life, then I'm not making enough. One of my favorite sayings is money is like air and sex. They don't really matter until you're not getting any.

I went to a wedding Saturday and got quite a few I deas of what I'd like to see in my own wedding. Let's see:

1. At a trailer beside a highway? No
2. On a hill so steep you could trip and fall to your death? No
3. Have the reception pot luck? No
4. Serve prime rib? Yes
5. Be totally trashed before the weddingeven starts? No
6. Invite people who don't want to attend and will have hard feelings? No

Ok, so I have things I don't want to see. Yeah, it was that sad.
