I went to campus at about 11 am this morning, which I understand isn't all that early as far as such things are considered. However, I didn't get home from campus until 8:15 or so this evening, which is rather late.
Mainly, the reason why I was on campus for so long is because it was ridiculously busy everywhere today, and I had things that I needed to accomplish.
One of which was that I needed to provide the university with proof of my immunization. Oddly enough, GSU requires their students to be immunized against tetanus. Has anyone ever heard of that? I mean, normally it's communicable diseases, and so far as I know, you can actually give tetanus to someone else without trying really, really hard. Anyway, I had absolutely no recollection of when the last time I was immunized against tetanus was, so they had to give me a tetanus booster. It was quick and painless, but now my shoulder hurts, and has hurt for the entire day since then. Meh. Granted, I had worse when I was on the white blood cell booster during chemotherapy, whose side effect was 'bone pain'. I basically felt like I do now, except in my entire body. However, despite my oneupsmanship, it's still a pain in the... shoulder.
Everyone may be happy to hear that I have at least thus far managed to not screw up school, so I'm keeping true to that new year's resolution, at least. I've also been trying to eat less, so we'll see how that goes.
I got to walk home in the rain again today, which wasn't very exciting. It seems like I'm always walking home in the rain, these days. I should probably stuff a poncho in my backpack, or something.
So, my classes for the semester are a proseminar on my Master's thesis, a class on John Milton and a class on Oscar Wilde. There's a special class on Faulkner this semester that I really want to take, but it directly conflicts with the Wilde class, which I think I'll appreciate more, all things considered. I really wanted to take that Faulkner class, though. =\
Another thing that was strange was that I've had to talk to my professors after each class and inform them that I'm going to need time off in order to get married. I mean, really, there's nothing at all strange about it; in fact, it's perfectly normal. Still, it's strange for me, since I've never had to do that before. My professors have all been very congratulatory and very accomodating, which is, while what I expected, nice.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that I've been stressing myself out about stupid stuff more and more lately. How stupid? Well, let me give you an example. My current WoW main is a 64 human paladin, and my Seal of Command lasts for two minutes. I get stressed out while fighting mobs, worrying that the Seal of Command will run out. Dude, if it runs out, all I have to do is push one button, and it refreshes. Paladins are really hard to kill, too, so it's not like if it runs out during a fight I'll die.
The upshot of this is that perhaps it's time to up my dosage of Lexapro.
In other news, I'm showing the guest house tomorrow. Please, cross your fingers that I can get it rented. Having a negative cash flow is never a good thing. I've already lowered the price, and it really is a pretty good house... I think the economy is just really making people worry about making rent. Sigh.
Anyway, I guess I'll go for now.
