First day of school?

I didn't make it into a single class. :(

I need 6 credits to be a full time student. I need to retake Eng 201 (I know, I know, I slacked off last year but I'm going to get an A this time around - provided I can get in a class!!!) but I all the classes are full. I can't register online anymore and I can't seem to get a hold of the lecturers either.

Right now, I'm registered for 3 credits.

2 - Exs 129: Lifestyle management. Online class that meets my Exercise GE. Mark will be taking it with me so I'm excited.

1 - Exs something: Dances of the pacific. I'm really excited. I wanted to take a hula class but it clashes with my work schedule. This was orignially on standy because I wanted to make it into the steel drum emsemble (being a music minor, I need ensemble credit). Unfortunately, they only have so many drums and I am one person too many. *sigh* I sat through that class today and I am so envious. I'm really disappointed that I didn't make it in. More than I care to admit really. Maybe next semester.

Now I have 3 credits. I can't get into an English class nor the cognitive psychology class I had wanted to and I keep wasting time outside my academic advisor's office waiting to talk to her only to find out I can't get something done. ARGHHH!

It looks like I'm an EXS major now. Gee great.

On the bright side....

Hmmmm.

On the bright side, the weather has been beautiful and I get to start work tomorrow. I wonder what's in store for me. I'm really pumped for it. This is going to be an easy term and I plan to enjoy every minute of it.

Right now, Jared and I aren't talking because I'm angry at him. I don't get angry and stay angry like this very often. In fact, the only other person I can remember being angry (and staying angry) at is my Dad. I have gotten mad before, of course, I just don't remember. Short term memory loss - it's great.

I'll be nice and not make J-Bo look bad here. All I need to say was that he did something that was really unfair to Mark and I'm very apalled. I wonder how many people here know about that already. Sheesh. News spreads fast here.

Mark and I are trying hard not to be bitter or try to retaliate or anything. It really is a small deal when you think about it but it's sure going to make things awkward in the future. At somepoint (maybe tomorrow) I'm going to not be mad about it anymore and just laugh at this whole senseless issue but I don't know how to get things to go back to normal.

An apology would be nice. I know Jared feels bad about it some, but not for the right reasons probably (and because I'm so angry, not to the extent to where I feel he's suffered enough). As soon as he realized how angry that made me, he tried to apologize. But see, I don't think he gets that what he did was wrong yet. Not having talked to him at all since I gave him back his shirt yesterday (I haven't been wearing it anyway), I really don't know what the deal is anymore.

In fact, I only got to hear the whole story AFTER that. Probably a good thing too. I didn't realize how blatantly wrong that was. I heard it from Jared first. I knew that he was at least a little smug about the issue - he admitted to it - but didn't think it was a big deal (Jared has never liked Mark as far as I can remember so I've been used to just brushing it off and ignoring it). Then I heard it from Mark - in a slightly different version. Mark was quite upset about it and I just laughed and reassured him that he wasn't singled out or anything and that Jared was way too cool a guy to do that. I did however, promise to take it up with J-bo and that I was on MARK'S side if anything.

So I talked to Jared. He told me a little more than he had before - marking the beginning of my rage. And only after that did I hear the whole story. I hope I've been getting correct information. I really don't want to be angry over something that was totally fabricated. But if anything, I trust Mark. He has his weaknesses but he isn't capable of viciousness.

Anyway, I really don't want to dwell on this and feed my anger. At this point, nothing much can be done. Mark is waiting to bring this up to higher authorities and the battle for us is that we not turn that into revenge. Really, we're not looking to get Jared into any kind of trouble. I'm willing to move past this and Mark is too, I think. He just needs to do that so he isn't just letting himself be a victim and not do anything about it.

It's an unhappy scenario. I hope that we'll work something through soon. It sucks to lose a friend. Mark even let me know the other day that he didn't mind me spending time with Jared because he was my best friend. He's just so giving he often doesn't leave very much for himself. *sigh*

Right now, my one thought is that this is the reason why I am dating Mark now instead of Jared.
