Well, I had a very busy day, I think?

As I said, I could not sleep a wink last night. Still, it was fine this morning. I was already up of course, and then I showered, dressed, and at my only (first as it turns out) appointment fifteen minutes early (and I was seen early, that is always a bonus, though never to be expected). We covered enough material in order that I might get a good grip on my road to graduation. As well, we covered old issues, unfinished business really, and the various means of dealing with it all. Of course, I completed both of the recommended steps to manage the old business (an email to a former professor of mine, and an administrative query), however, administrations do not work just because one has done their part (first step). But things are on the road. With old business being tended, a recommended schedule to graduation (with all but one terms at ¾ level, one full-time term, (9 and 12 credits, respectively), and weak summers I hope to find a way to beef up in order to graduate fast, I have about four years. Now, I know that is stretching it too, actually. I know I have more non-engineering credits and some engineering credits for which she is not accounting. I suspect that, with 2 course summers, that 12 credit term, and a few other tweaks, I should be done in 3 years. A long time, and that makes me nervous about VA Voc Rehab. So, I also discussed other financial aid sources.

After that, I returned home. I remember that my tooth had been bothering me, with the lollipops and bubble and chewing gum excesses of late, it felt as if a cavity was coming loose. So, I buzzed the VA, and they had just had a cancellation and so saw me right away. I get ready and make that appointment. There went my nap before class, risky as a nap might have been. But I was not done.

Actually, I may find out good or bad new tomorrow regarding VA Voc Rehab. As I had noted, I gave my doctor written permission to speak directly with the VA VR counselor and then had also given him the phone number. I believe a call was placed the day I did so. I have heard nothing from either party since. Tomorrow I will know at least what occurred in the conversation. Either way, my work is not unimportant. I have assessed my professional advancement, such as it is. I have started planning to win, while understanding reality. I have started looking for funding, of several sort.

I am feeling better about class. I will be taking a test next Tuesday. I was able to get in early, however, I was stuck messing with a problem from class and was not able to see my instructor about the book. However, he was gracious enough to stay a little longer and let me take down the non-homework graded problems so that I might begin a further study having some hope I might eventually know. I just took down the numbers, As I get into them, then I may check. Although having been up and busy all last night and this morning, I was in pretty poor shape for class. That I was there anyway was good.

I really need sleep. A drink almost sounds good but I think I would end up wearing more of it than not. I should be able to wake easily tomorrow, and make it to the appointment.

Hmmm, on another note, it is supposed to warm up here, and soon. I hope all the snow does not disappear before I get to ski next week. I would be truly depressed. I have waited, worked, and pouted myself a bit into this opportunity. Though, too, I know this will not be the last snow.

I have got to crash. Have a great night. I would love to straighten this out, add some common sense to the thing, and make you all happy (you, there is only one of you here;), but I am all in. Be a dear, and if you are more ambitious than I and of a mood to do so, flip a few paragraphs around, ordering time a bit better. Oh, and see to the grammar, spelling, and word usage at your leisure. Or, just enjoy the oddity. Good night, Louise!
