::we wish you a great deal of success::

it has been a monday to top all mondays in that it went by extremely fast. can someone explain to me why 2 of my greatest girlfriends got the boot from their jobs this past week? what is that about??? i mean, these are two very decent, extremely hardworking, and rather attractive (uhHUM!) women, who have way more than that on their side. simply, it sucks! i'm cheering for you two though, adrienne & lauren. the Man doesn't know how talented you are!

on other news, well, i went ahead & registered for my 2 classes at saddleback. and, for as long as i can remember (which means, for as long as the nine years i've been attempting, though not always actively or successfully, my college education), upon completing the registration process be it by phone or via the internet, i have always heard/read the words "we wish you a great deal of success this semester...." and i kind of chuckle at it now. especially considering my long stretch as a student, the dozens of dropped classes, the vending machine food consumed, the money spent on textbooks which were never studied. those words have been embedded into my head for a lifetime...much longer than the career of the average collegiate. i've long passed the supposed "5 year plan", so, take me seriously now, won't you? i'm paying much more for my education than i would have 8-9 years ago. what's wrong with this picture? am i really getting ahead in life? now?
