cactus in bloom (12)

Mike bought me a cactus for my office desk, its got bright pink flowers! Work was sorta fun today, got a workable server for scripts now
I loath my advisor. I had to leave work to go get advised for next semester. He was the only one I could sign up for because he’s the only one who advises Design Computing emphasis in the Software Engineering Dept. He’s TERRIBLE! He made me miss out on classes last semester cuz he turned my shit in late and I couldn’t sign up for classes till 2 weeks after everyone else! I even asked him to give me the form to turn it in for him this time but he said no that he’d turn it in tomorrow. He better >_< ! I'll have to kick his ass. It was bad enough I was schedualed for a 12:00 appointment and he made me wait till 12:40! I had to stay an extra 2 hours at work to make up for missed time because of him. It was just terrible, but I won't get into the boring details.

I’m studying for my German exam, but guess what…. its hard to study for a class that you no longer need. Yes, policy in the Engineering department has changed, and my German minor I was working on no longer counts as a technical minor so it doesn’t replace elective credits in my major. So, if I were to get the minor still, I’d have to stay an extra year or two because I would STILL need the 60 hours of technical electives b/c the german credits wouldn’t count for them anymore. Does that make sense? Doesn’t to me, its Bullshit. But, to graduate by 2005 I’ll have to drop the minor and start taking SET tech. Electives. I’m only a class or two behind b/c of this, nothing big, but disappointing. I really wanted the minor, but its not worth 2 extra years of my life and Mike’s future.
