"THE FATES HAVE GIVEN MORTALS HEARTS THAT CAN ENDURE"
Homer~Iliad
Today I do not believe that the fates were against me. I chose to believe instead that they were with me. The early part of my day was not in all ways a disappointment, but merely a series of minor setbacks. Even though it took me 10 minutes to find my course equivalencies, I found them, and even though it began to rain, my windows were up, and even though I was late to work, I got there just the same. Now by the time 12:30 rolled around, I was really in the mood for some good news. The good news was I was early to my advising appointment, even though I had a little trouble locating the building it was in. I get through the meeting quite well only about 35 hours till graduation, exactly what I thought, but it needed verification I suppose. So I'm pretty satisfied with this as I set off for the Bead Barn in Beaumont. As I'm driving I'm thinking to myself how much I'm actually going to enjoy it at Lamar, not such a bad drive, nice shopping, things look good. I finally locate the Bead Barn not in a barn mind you, but in a brick building. Nonetheless, I try not to be too critical and I walk in expecting to find "fabulous prizes." I left feeling extremely violated, much like Monica Lewinsky after befriending Linda Tripp. The same beads I paid $0.03 a piece for in Humble were $0.30 a piece at the Bead Barn. I left with $4.00 worth of merchandise, only because they were items I couldn't find in Humble. I continued on my merry way only to get home and begin perusing the course schedule and discover there are only 2, yes 2, of my required classes offered this upcoming semester. After looking through the schedule about 5 times or so, I haven't even found an elective to take to fill some time in. Last resort, I can always move to the lake and go back to SFA. The level of my anxiety required an emergency "business meeting" at El Burrito for some much needed moral support. When I checked out my total was $6.66! whoa! I regained some of my composure and came home ready to figure this out, examine all of my options. Well, after examining all of my options, I've concluded that this is my only option, spend the next 5 years of my life trying to finish 2 pathetic semesters at Lamar.
GO CARDINALS!!!
