Drives me nuts...I know I should be a more laid-back, go-with-the-flow person, but when a task drags on it stresses me out...little things like going to buy my books and finding out I need to go back to the bookstore for one more that will hopefully come in on Friday...it majorly bugs me that it's not done.
Then there's big things like discovering yesterday that my application was received to Cal State Fullerton and it will be reviewed after I send in my transcripts (no problem since I already have certified copies from both schools ready to be mailed) and I need grades from the "golden four" classes one of which is the Critical Thinking Philosophy class I'm taking THIS semester....that means my application won't be reviewed until December...which has me freaking out...I just want it done...I want it planned...I worked hard to make sure I turned in my application the very first day it was due so that I could be on my way...I've already called the Sociology department to find out about meeting with an adviser...as I told the community college transfer center guy that I freaked out on the phone with yesterday, that it feels like I'm hopping into the big kids pool after many years in the kiddie pool so I have no idea how hard it will or won't be to get into the classes I need when I need them...and at this point in my life I don't want to waste a semester because I couldn't get into a class or two...I just want it done.
So, I will attempt to problem solve, I'll talk to my professor and let him know what's going on and that I'll be politely hounding him for my grade, I'll try and see what I can manage to figure out with the admissions office...and, inevitably, I'll stress...especially when I see the front page of today's paper...35,000??? Please keep your fingers crossed that come February I'll be student #35,001 with all the classes I need to really get started on this darn sociology degree.
