| | Sarah and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad First Week of School
Well first off, I was sick, and no one likes to be sick. but that wasn't really so bad on itself. What DID suck was when I found out on Wednesday that the prescriptions that I ordered weren't coming to me. Let me clarify... my mom's health care plan and subsequently, my health care plan, won't give us the lowest deductible on our prescription medicines unless we order them online. So over Winter Break, I sent in my order and had my prescriptions sent to Rolla, my default address. EXCEPT!!! I didn't look at my default address when I was filling out my order, I looked at my default address's last line, "Rolla, MO 65401" Which, it just so happens, is also where TJ Residential Hall, my old dormitory is. And wouldn't you know it... TJ Res Hall is where all my prescriptions got sent. And when TJ Res Hall gets packages for people who no longer live there, do you know what they do with them? They send them right back the very next day!
So now here I am... I have 4 days worth of allergy medicine left, 1 month worth of Birth control (thank goodness) and about 3 weeks worth of work before I will actually get this medicine back again.
But... that's not all, as if I weren't already stupid enough... On Thursday night, Ashley (my roommate) and I went to the DaVinci meeting, and seeing as how I now live with a DV member, I thought, "hey, I won't need my key, I'll be coming home with her" However... I did NOT come home with her. I went home before her, an hour before her. Because as per DV tradition, after meetings, some of the group goes to Steak and Shake to steak it and shake it. But I normally don't, so I went home... found I didn't have my key... and then promptly found out, I didn't have my cell phone, so I couldn't even ask her to come home early to bail me out. So I had the good fortune of spending MY Thursday night in the cold little entry way of our apartment building, waiting for her to come home. And since Lance loves me, he was worrying himself half to death, wondering where I might be, and once again, no phone, so I couldn't even call him and tell him not to worry.
But no, my week's not over yet! Today, I woke up and discovered that for some reason, my school email won't accept my correct password. And I thought I had a meeting at 8 with my research adviser. But as it turns out (as I'm sure I would have known had I been able to access my email) that meeting was not going to be held, because said research adviser had a class to teach. So I get all the way there, and meet up with him on his way to his class. I can't really blame anyone, they didn't make my email impossible to access, but boy I would have liked that extra hour of sleep!
So now I'm telling myself, just make through your 9 am class, then you get to go to Manhattan and spend a wonderful 3 day weekend with the most important person in your life.
Lance! |
