garrr....so, i went over to the registrar's office and got a handy dandy little printout of my schedule to bring over the financial aid to prove that i'm a full time student. really, i am. as i'm standing in line at financial aid perusing said handy dandy printout, i notice that it says that i am a journalism major in the college of literal arts and sciences. really, i'm not. i've got 2 majors, neither one of which is journalism. i came here as a freshman, 5 years ago now, as a journalism major...but i switched to a primary major in natural resources management and engineering and a secondary in animal science. i have not been a journalism major for about 4 years now. so, i head back on over to the registrar, where i am informed that i have to head over to the college of ag and natural resources b/c i was never "officially" switched. which is funny, since both of my academic advisors are in the college of ag and natural resources, and i made dean's list for CANR last semester. but fine, okay, it's not "official". so now, it's off to the college of ag (does everyone remember that it's raining today?), where i am told that oh no, i most certainly am a natural resources and animal science major, and do i have the paper that says i'm a journalism major? (no, i had to give it to financial aid so they don't make me sign over my first born child with a blood oath). so apparently, everyone just wasted my time and that one piece of paper was a strange, incongruous, mysterious, unreplicable glitch. which i don't buy. i have this fear now that when i go to graduate in may, someone's going to tell me "you can't graduate, you didn't fulfill your journalism requirements."

i want a big alcoholic beverage. and i can't have one (well, first off, b/c i'm at school and have to head off to work shortly) because i'm trying to make a few pudge rolls disappear before puerto rico...
