Back to the Grind

Well today was day 2 of my very last academic semester EVER--the last semester of finals exams and constant studying. OMG! It's almost worth suffering through class everyday just to be able to say that. I'm taking a whole bunch of crap, as usual, but this time I don't have my internship at Sindecuse, so I have all of Wednesday off! :D Wohoo!

The P2 accelerators are here from Big Rapids now, so Colleen and I have class together for the first time! (but she's in Grand Rapids so I still can't sit with her in class... ) It's strange seeing all the new faces I don't really know all that well, and now the class is huge compared to last semester. Every seat is taken, and we always have to use the big lecture hall now to fit us all in. P school is back with its usual unfair crap, however. Our professors had us fill out a survey asking if we'd like to change our exam schedule back to weekly exams (from biweekly), but even though an "overwhelming majority" was in favor of weekly exams, they STILL are keeping the biweekly schedule for some bullshit reason. Which bites, because it's like they wanted us to feel like we had a voice, but then refused to listen to it. I guess I don't expect any better anymore, though.

I miss my car. I don't really want to drive it because I'm a little scared right now, still shaken up from the whole ordeal, but I just miss looking out my window and seeing it. I love my car, and I feel terrible that I left it in foreign Battle Creek with a bunch of strangers to touch it in its naughty places. The shop called me today saying that my battery is okay, but the part that needs to be replaced is apparently more than one part, and they don't make them anymore. So he has to get them from some special supplier or something, which will take 2-3 days. And it'll cost me $620 to fix. >_<

On the bright side, Mike has been like Superman since all this happened. Not only did he and Sandy drop everything to come and rescue me on Sunday, but he's also going to come get me and take me back to Battle Creek so I can pay for/pick up my poor car. AND! Because I wasn't able to get groceries like I had planned (lacking transportation and all), he called a Chinese food place in Kzoo tonight for me and had them deliver food to my apartment so I could have a nice meal. :) Oh man! That's seriously the sweetest thing I have ever heard--I wish he were here so I could give me a big hug. I'm not so sure where I would be without him. Probably still in that ditch freaking out, cold and hungry.
