Public Service Announcement: Just Stay In Bed

As Ellen suggested to me, days when you oversleep just never seem to amount to much more than a big headache. Just one of those weird quirks of life that rings true. After getting up half an hour late today, I should have known better. I had to hurry my leg/hip combo (I've been told I really have no butt) to get ready and make it to class on time. This was the same class I missed last week when I overslept by three hours (see stupidity in previous post), so I didn't want to miss it again. Turns out, I missed the memo that class ran for an extra hour today, so when I walked in the door and thought I was right on time, I had actually missed the first hour. Later on, I read an email from my flaky theology advisor back at Loyola that says I shouldn't be taking an upper-level medical ethics course next year without a background in a similar entry-level course. Thing is, last fall she specifically TOLD me to sign up for this particular upper-level one precisely because I lacked the ethics portion of the theology degree. So, when registration opened earlier this week, I went ahead and signed up for it. Now, after everyone else at the college has registered and my schedule has been more or less finalized, she tells me to change it. Then, following the trend of an ever-growing black hole in her memory, she questions me on whether or not I'm taking a course here in Ireland that could count for upper-level credit for my degree. This, after lecturing me before I left about how I could go ahead and take a theology course here if I wanted, but because she couldn't trust the quality of the professors or the courses it wouldn't be proper to count it toward my degree. As I'm stewing over the absurdity of her email, I then realize that I forgot my Irish homework at home, so, of course, that means an extra four mile hike just to retrieve it and make it back to college three minutes before class starts. Fittingly, to top the whole thing off, I had a restless night's sleep, so the catalyst of the bad day didn't even stop me from being tired for every minute of it. Oh sweet irony. Even though the weather admittedly is quite nice today, that can only do so much for you sometimes.
