Finals Week. We meet again.

So in the winter, I started taking college classes again. It should be noted that I graduated already a few years ago with a Bachelors degree. This time I'm at my local community college, just to get into the swing of things, potentially go back full time/part time in the fall for a different degree, you know.
 
 
I'm not full time enrolled but I'm taking a few and I work 54 hours a week. (Albeit, I'm writing this post at work right now so I usually get a few hours a night to study/watch Netflix/etc.) It is now finals week.

 
Which means this is pretty true:

 
And I'm not doing a heck of a lot of Digby riding for the week. I had originally planned to ride today and hopefully on the weekend. I was also meeting with an advisor who is in my potential future career choice. I mostly wanted to talk about 4 year colleges, career opportunities, if she had any advice for getting a job afterwards. We scheduled it for today and I thought, ok, fine, I'll just ride the hony on Thursday. After waiting 30 minutes, she never showed up. I called, emailed, nothing. Hmph. So really, I waited around and did stuff at home because I didn't have time to go to class, ride and be back for this meeting, essentially wasting a sunny, high of 78 day that I could of been riding. I don't have an indoor so I try to plan to ride any day that's nice out. Thanks for that, no-show meeting person. I drove home, took a shower, cuddled the dog in the sunshine and had a summer shandy in honor of Cinco de Drinko. I felt a lot better after that. Adult beverages and vitamin D for the win.

    1. RIGHT?! I know stuff happens but come on, we're all adults here.... With technology being what it is now, I find that forgetting about appointments is mildly unacceptable. Between a computer, ipads, smartphones, and good old book planners, you can write it down in 5 different places and (besides the physical book planner) they can all communicate with each other so your schedule can be everywhere with you! We've rescheduled our appointment on Friday so I suspect she'll be there this time :)

      Also - Cinco de Drinko is one of my favorite holidays. I apologize to the actual holiday because of Americans just use it as an excuse to eat salty chips, fried cheese and other Mexican food and drink tequila... But regardless, tequila + salty food + CHEESE = my kind of day!
