My Hair, My Lack of Degree, My Possibly Unwise Move, My Plans For This Week

[exhilaration]

My hair

Erica and I went to Sephora (yes I've been hanging out with Erica and I don't want to hear about it...) and I bought this very awesome piece of hair. It's like hair attached to a headband attached to a comb and goes on the underside of your head - so it's like having long, straight, black hair. Since my actual hair is short-ish and black-ish and I straighten it, it looks like it belongs on my head and it's pretty hot looking :P

My lack of degree

So last week B went to ACCC to meet with an advisor to see how well his credits from Rutgers will transfer there (they transfer fine, those schools are friends I guess) and has pretty much decided he's going to finish his associate's there in the fall and then continue on after that wherever he can. So, good for him.

I tried to figure out if there's a way I can scrape an associate's degree out of all my college credits - well, there's not. I think I'll be diploma-less forever, at this point.

My possibly unwise move

Um, I got Erica a job at my restaurant. Her parents pretty much told her they're happy to have her home but she can't just keep living there and not have a job, so... yeah. I thought it was a good idea at the time but most of my co-workers there know her (or know of her) and are kind of wary of her. I hope things work out. I think they will, but I hope there isn't some major reason why they won't that I'm overlooking.

My plans for this week

I have a long list of doctors to see this week, mostly in Philly. I've had a piss-poor time of finding doctors here in NJ because I live so far from any kind of major city that I might as well just go back to Philly because at least there I'm already a patient and my records are there, etc. The one appointment has been pushed back three different times and I'm getting really annoyed - it's been pretty much a constant push pull with me and doctors ever since I've been, you know, making my own decisions instead of letting my mom set everything up for me. I get scolded like a child for not coming in often enough, and yet it's nearly impossible to get and actually keep an appointment. Catch-22 much?

You and me both.

yeah... I've kind of moved on from taking classes and thinking 'why do I have to take this, this is all stuff I already know' to looking at class schedules and being like 'but I've already TAKEN this class!'

sometimes it just floors me how things can just continually NOT work out - I try to tell myself that whatever credentials I do or don't have is not a reflection on my actual intelligence or ability, but it's kinda hard to believe that all the time.

I love Sephora.

Whether Erica makes it or blows it at the restaurant is entirely up to her, and it's your responsibility. Don't worry!

Doctors...you miss an appt. and you get charged. THEY miss an appt. and they're all like, "So when can *you* reschedule?" Yea, sorry I can't repeatedly cater my life around your whims.

yeah, I know, but I feel like after I've spent so much time defending her I'll come out looking pretty silly if she turns out to be horrible to work with

and as for doctors... the thing is, you kind of HAVE to cater to their whims - they provide a service you NEED. so they get to be supreme asses about it.

OMG, that was supposed to be "and it's NOT your responsibility." That'll teach me to eat lunch & type at the same time.
