I have been hiccuping all day, since I got out of the shower this morning. It's driving me crazy. At one point in the afternoon each hiccup was accentuated with a burp for some weird reason--I hadn't drunk any soda all day. I've tried holding my breath, regulating my breathing, eating a spoonful of sugar, drinking water from the other side of a glass, and every other method that I know doesn't work.
also, GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I was in a class for my major (kinetics for chemical engineering) that fit my schedule perfectly and allowed me to take a class I want for a minor (data structures for computer science) honors, when in the last week of school I was informed that the section of my major class wasn't going to work out and would be merged with the other section, which clashed with my minor course. I couldn't fit in any other section of the comp sci class, and by the time I found a course i wanted to take and would still advance me academically, open registration closed for the summer. I hovered very anxiously watching the availability of my class on this course site, and it says there is 1 seat open for honors, 1 for non honors. Open registration opened 18 minutes ago, and the one course site still says theres 1 open in honors, 1 in non, but the registration site says no open seats in that section, and open seats in another section which the other site says there are none available for, and I can't sign up for it!!!! I'm going crazy here.
i guess i should sign up for the open class and watch for the other class to open? it's just the open one is a horrible time, with a dif't teacher. graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I feel that since it was their errors that fucked up my schedule, they should have had to deal with all this shit, not me. I was plucked from my perfect classes and thrown into this hectic disarray. They should at least put me into my second choice. but nooooooo, I have to deal with this crazy crap.
Also, I can't stop hiccuping!
BrittanyMarie:
could you talk to the professor of the class you want? or is it a hard and fast rule there?

It's only really a strict rule with respect to the number of honors seats. See, the honors and non honors courses for these upper level courses are taught in one class and the honors students merely get more or different work, and sometimes have one extra hour or so in a separate class. (I absolutely hate this way of teaching, as an honors student I really want more focused teaching, but there's nothing I can do about that) And, there are very specific guidelines for credits and types of classes for the honor degrees, and they limit honor seats so the kids who are lackadaisy about signing up for honors classes get screwed.
I may be able to get a non honors seat past the size of the class, but I'm unsure of how to go about that, actually. I don't think it's talking with the teacher, but with a person in the registration place (which I have been doing since I've been booted from my classes (altho, admittedly I've been talking to a chemical engineering register person when the classes I'm concerned about are math and comp sci...))
The biggest problem with all of this is how computer regulated everything is. The number of seats in the class is set to 16 and that's that. A person probably can change that, but there is a reason it's set like that, there may be trouble with physical size of rooms and number of physical seats.
whatever. I signed up for the 7-8:15pm mon, wed class with a teacher i've never heard of. It absolutely sucks, especially considering my m/w/f schedule, and it leaves my t/r schedules annoyingly sparse. I'll hover and watch for openings in those courses, but I may just have to deal.

shortly after i moved back to markham a woman on my street said to my mother, "i saw your son or daughter walking your dog yesterday." being mistaken for a dude is something i am fairly used to at this point but there was something almost endearing about the way she decided to say "son or daughter" instead of just guessing a gender because she was obviously just trying to cover all options possible in the hopes that nobody would be offended.

I've never been mistaken for a boy but people often have huge difficulty figuring out how old I am - my favourite time was when I was in the pub with two boys I'd recently met, and one thought I was about 15 and the other 25 (I was 17).
I'm prop hunting for the September show and it's quite fun! I'm concerned about some of the things though, they could get far too expensive/time consuming, but mostly it's going well :) The producer is a bit awkward to work with but not impossible and everyone else so farhas been great. Exciting! Still too much to do for the other show though.
