frustration knows no bounds



I cannot believe I just spent 45 minutes (!!!) trying to log onto to the wireless network here at school. The problem? One, my computer kept defaulting to the wrong password and two, four other people around me were already on line. I have no idea how things were corrected (divine intervention maybe??) but THANK GOD they were. I was about to throw this laptop through the window next to me. But that's just the beginning...

I have also been spending way too much time working on my resume, financial aid and registration for summer quarter. What a joke. The limited amount of guidance I've received here has done nothing more than frustrate me beyond measure. It's a good thing this is a dry campus, otherwise they'd be dragging my totally drunk ass out of here naked and singing the Star Spangled Banner at the top of my lungs.

I'm starting to think my frustration is contagious. My poor husband, sick and tired of listening to my whine, came home the other day with a NorthFace backpack for me. "So you can fit in." he said. He had a look on his face like a big boy who just learned to use the potty. How could I refuse his offering of limited social acceptance? It's not as large as my "yellow submarine" backpack, but I think one of the "cool kids" actually smiled at me today. (The power of material goods is amazing!)


Now if I could just work on my gray hair...
