Hello everyone! I just remembered that I mentioned in the last post that I went to Orientation but I forgot to say how it went. ^_^’ It went pretty well except for a few things, but I’ll talk about them a bit later. Let me see…there were some clubs that were there and I ended up joining the psychology society (psychology is my major for the time being, the other two that I’m considering is Cognitive science and Economics) and the food there was okay, I wish they had something else to drink besides soda and water though….maybe wine…I mean…I would never drink wine…hehe…lol Anyways…it turned out that I didn’t need an ID at all, and the stupid site on the net said we needed one, making me wait in line all for nothing. I lost sleep in order to get that ID!! -_-‘ It was pretty cool though, I also met a guy that’s just like me (To Ra-chan: And no…he does not make pervy jokes…or at least I don’t think he does…) in an academic sense: We both stopped at Pre-Calculus, never had straight A’s in our life, passed our respective AP tests (you’re given a choice between AP Gov’t and AP Econ, he took gov’t while I took Econ), we could’ve done much more in school…just too lazy too do anything nor did we care, and we would’ve gotten straight A’s in our senior year if it hadn’t been for said Pre-Calculus (And I thought that I was good at math too. -_-‘). Sad thing is, I never got his name……...….and we were all wearing name tags too. -_-‘ Oh well, that shows how little common sense I have. lol Ok….as for the thing that went wrong. See, the whole point of orientation was to register for our fall courses yet sadly, I was unable. The reason you ask? It turns out that my f***ing high school decided to screw me over one last time and didn’t send my transcripts (documents that say what classes I took in high school as well as grades and other things) like I said so. I filled out a paper that specifically said to send them, had the address and all, yet my school “thought” that I would pick them up myself. WTF?? If that was so, then I wouldn’t have filled out the paper that told THEM to do it. The thing that annoys me the most is that the school didn’t bother to even call me to say that they were ready for pick up, which would have annoyed me, but I would’ve picked them up anyway and sent them myself. Now there’s a high risk that I won’t get the classes I want or get the schedule that I made. I hate my old high school now, it was pretty fun yet people there weren’t so bright, even to the point of not being able to follow paper instructions I guess. Well, whatever, that’s in the past and one should focus on the future. Oh, If everything works out fine then my fall courses will be: Intro to Cognitive Science, Intro to Psychology, English, and French. Not so bad, huh? I’m kinda worried about the cog one, maybe I should change it to something else. Hm…In other news, odds are that I’ll be getting a cell phone soon. Sounds like good news, huh? Not really…see….when I found out about it I started looking for the best plan I can get, so I went straight to Alltel and found a plan that would suit me well. Actually, ANY plan from Alltel would suit me well because since me and Ra-chan would be both with Alltel, we could talk all we want and I wouldn’t lose any minutes…and trust me….that’s a good thing because we usually talk for at least 5 hours every day. ^_^ The only problem was, my dad doesn’t want to do a contract thing and he also thinks that $40.00 a month is expensive….he should have no say in it though, it’s my mom who works for it so she should decide whether or not I get the phone, not he. I explained and explained to them that the plan was pretty inexpensive if you think about it (which is true, even mom agreed with me. The thing that sucks is that mo makes the money and dad pretty much does nothing, hell, he even loses some of it when he goes off to the casinos.) yet he still said no. I even argued with them a bit, every point I made countered every single thing they threw at me. Later I spoke to my mom about it and since she is the brighter among the two it was slightly harder…no, not really. She did surprise me though, one of the points I made was thrown back at me. Alas, that was done on purpose and in turn I threw it back at her. In the end she agreed with me, but since mon pere said no, still no plan from Alltel. He wants to get me a prepaid thing with minutes or whatever they said. At that moment I went for plan B and told them that Alltel (….I’m starting to sound like an infomercial for that damn company. -_-‘) had this pay per day thing which was with no contract whatsoever which is what he wanted. Explained it, got yelled at for “disobeying” at what I was told, and pretty much no matter what I say or do, I can’t get what I wanted. Ra-chan hates him and I can see why. Kinda funny though, she sometimes rants about how a lazy good for nothing father who has no right to call himself a father and every point she says is true. He was never there for me, the best thing he’s done is……..nothing really. Oh well, not like I care what happens to him. All she says is true though, turns out that I’m unemployed BECAUSE of him. Every single time I was called by one of the places that I applied for (more than 10 and all in one day, had to go walking everywhere because he was too lazy to give me a ride and when I got home he said “what took you so long?” or something along those lines) he answered the phone and said that I wasn’t interested. Wait…wasn’t I talking about my cell phone dilemma? ^_^’ When I told Ra-chan that I couldn’t get it (she helped me a lot, she was even willing to talk (or yell and curse at my dad ^_^’) to my parents herself. If only she knew Spanish. Lol) she got really depressed because we couldn’t talk as much as we always do….which is why I came up with Plan C. Take whatever crappy phone and crappy minutes they get me, use the house phone until I get to college (August 24), and when there get a job trash the crappy phone they get me and buy one on my own with the money I earn. In other words…..all that crap I went to in order to talk them into getting me a cell phone was all for nothing. -_-. Oh…..and by the way…I apologize in advance for any “sad/depressing” posts I make next week (starting tomorrow), it’s gonna be a hard week for me because…..never mind…..don’t want to think about it at the moment
