Today Sucked
Today was not a good day.It started off by sleeping in, and then I really had to rush to make it to class on time. After I got in my car, I realized that I unquestionably needed gas. I stopped at the gas station and only put in a few dollars to minimize lost time. I then entered the freeway, where after driving for about 2 miles, my windshield was SMACKED by a rock, and it cracked. I am infuriated about this, because I just replaced my windshield from a similar incident a week and a half ago - actually, my parents' Christmas present to me was the replacement of that windshield, and I haven't even deposited the check they gave me for it yet.I then proceeded to school, and when I arrived I only had 5 minutes to make it to class in time. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any parking, so I drove around for 8 minutes before deciding to park in the last available Staff parking space. At that point I could care less about getting a parking ticket. The parking space was still completely on the other end of school, so I had to walk for a bit. When I arrived at the class, there was a note stating that there would be no class today. Normally that would be cool, but I have another class an hour after that one - same professor. There wasn't a note stating that the second class was cancelled. I hurried back to my car to use the time before the next class to find a legit parking space, and luckily, I hadn't gotten a ticket yet. However, the only place I found to park was astonishingly far from my class - it wasn't even on campus, so again I trekked through campus back to the phys. science building, where I wait with other classmates, only to find that the professor did not show up. I grudgingly made another trip back to my car, and finally made it to work. At work, I found people waiting for me, because they needed some Methanol released for pharmaceutical use (3 hours before I arrived), and two of the other personnel in my department who have authority are out of town, while the third is on maternity leave. My entire day at work consisted of running around hurriedly trying to ensure that everyone else's priorities were done on time.On my lunch break, I went to the windshield repair place, and they told me it would cost $50 to repair it, so I tried it. They injected the holes and let them set - and I can still see the damn things directly in my line of sight!Tomorrow morning is my first Physics Lab day, which just means that this weekend my time will be consumed in constructing my first laboratory write-up of the semester. Unfortunately, I haven't even done the standard homework / projects yet, so I really need to figure out a way to devote more time to school.On Sunday I received my 7th speeding ticket - 40 mph in a 25 zone - I can't stand getting tickets for going such a slow speed. At least I get to go to traffic school for this one - my insurance jumps up $100 / month if I get another ticket on my driving record.Closing Note: Fuck the government for being permitted to issue tickets for a broken windshield and then not bothering to keep their damn freeways clean of rocks!!!!!!
