Accomplishments of an Unexpected Day Off

I was awaken this morning much earlier then I had planned, thanks to the electric company. I was pissed off beyond words. You have no idea how load my door buzzer is. It is the kind of loud that makes your heart jump out of your chest and trigger the Hyde in anyone. Apparently, I have been paying for the electric used in the apartment across from me and they for mine. My Japanese neighbors who are never home, realized that their bills were too high. It was all thanks to the electric wall heater that I use at night. I figure that I have probably had significantly lower electric bills this winter but have lost out over these last four years. When I first moved in, there was a small family of four living in the studio apartment across from me. I am not very good at math but i assume that four consume more then one. So, I lost out on cash over these last few years and on two extra hours of sleep this morning. ConEd is investigating the matter. I hope that they credit me.

After my rude awakening, I made time for mail and this morning's post. I then ran to work in a frenzied rush to ensure my early arrival. When I got there, I learned that I was not scheduled and everyone laughed. I on the other hand was delighted. There where so many things I had to do at school and I was dreading having to wait till after 5pm to complete them. I bid my cheerful-at-my-expense coworkers farewell and headed off to reacquaint myself with the perpetual start of semester school lines. One of the main things that I wanted to fix, was that my school had me labeled as an out of state resident. This little error was resulting in higher tuition charges and that little fixing required 45min to solve.

Deciding on which electives and requirements to take, that fitted both my likes and schedule has not been an easy task. I have changed my schedule a few times already. Each change of course requires a certain amount of time, waiting on lines, getting over-tally permission form slips from the pertaining departments, and kissing lots of head of department asses for the needed signatures. Anyway, long story short.....More lines, more waiting.

After three hours of lines, searching and comparing prices on-line to those of the school bookstore, and a long discussion on the contradictions of present politics and foreign policies with the Chair of the Social Science department, I went to the library to secure some on-line textbook prices. I had a hard time focusing due to the distracting walking hazards. All that ogling made me look at myself and think that my lack of social extracurricular activates, as of late, has resulted in an overall slip in my cute factor. I picked up the phone and contacted my barber for some immediate grooming. I was quite pleased after my haircut and before leaving the barbershop, I looked at my reflection in the mirror and thought, "Aw, there's that scrumptious papi I remember." There's nothing like a haircut right?

Anyway, I got a lot done, saved loads of money, fresh cut, and came home to 3 Netflix movies in the mailbox.

(Update: Saw War of The Worlds...I was rooting for humanity the entire lenght of the movie.)

Congrats in the setting of the final touches of going back to school. =')

As quoted by philanthropist James Champy "Big results require big ambitions" ~WeRd~ Wow, you even mentioned that you want to get your Masters!!
Now, that to me, is sexxi-This drive and ambition your acquiring! It may seem like a long road ahead of you but with this new found ambition you'll achieve your goals sooner then you think! Keep it up bro! There will be days where things might just be too overwhelming i.e working, school, homework, money matters, bills, but if you keep the drive and "hunger" to achieve; things will fall into place. Prioritize. Trust me, sacrifice and hard work do pay off in the end. Shit, I'm half way where I wanna be bro!

Congrads on going back to school... I just went back last semester... it's a challenge but well worth it.
