I just got back from my dental appointment a few minutes ago.  It wasn’t all that bad.  I thought they were going to do all of the fillings/whatever else needed to be done, but they didn’t.  They put facials on my two front teeth a filing in one other tooth and that was it.  All the others are just being ‘watched’ incase something changes with them.

Right now, I’m going to sit down and focus on getting my To-Do list for the site done.  It’s been sitting there since the start of this semester just bugging me.  And I haven’t been even able to look at it due to all the homework and the drama at work.

Speaking of drama at work..one of my coworkers wants to be more “involved” with our little group of people who sit in the front of the office(her office is in the back–away from everyone), which isn’t a big deal.  The big deal is the fact that she was like ‘I don’t want to be upfront because what if I’m on the phone talking to proctors and students come in?” etc.  She has to call different people across the country for our online students so they don’t cheat on tests, etc..and by being up front, the person she’s talking to would hear all the commotion going on, etc.  AND she would have to deal with students all the time.  She’s not a very people friendly person.  She likes to talk down to people all the time and she treats me and other co-worker like we are her assistants…which we are not.  So now, I get to train her on what I do upfront all the time.  Well, it’s exactly the same as what the morning lady does..only I deal more with students because that’s when everyone gets out of class and off of work.

And she smiles!

There’s this commercial that I *LOVE*. It’s about a family who goes on vacation and I’m guessing the teenage girl doesn’t smile that much and when she does, it’s a big thing. Well, that’s how I am. I can’t stand smiling. I look really odd when I do..even when I’m actually happy lol. But, lately, I’ve been smiling a lot. Like now..I’m just sitting in my room, logged into WoW, watching/listening to Jon and Kate Plus 8, and some random old 90s songs ( 98 degrees, anyone?!), and I just randomly smile. I guess it’s good to be happy and content with life..even after everything thats happen. Strange part is..I really enjoy smiling. I enjoy the feeling, the warmth, the happiness of it heh.

Today was the start of finals week for a good chunk of the summer classes. I swear, students here in NE who get MBA’s have to be the dumbest people ever! It’s like “HELLO! You are taking an online class..did you not stop and think that you *MIGHT* have a final?” And a good portion of them, have not even read the course syllabus, so they don’t know when they can even TAKE the final. /headdesk I had a girl walk in wanting to take a final for a class that ended back in July. She made it sound like it was a problem that she had to take this final…yes..cuz you sooo wouldn’t need a final in a math class, seeing how the teacher was just going to pass you because you are an athlete.

It is only a week..I can get through this..I’ve done it before..and I can do it again. I guess I’m just more on edge because in 21 days I start my senior year, and I’m excited for that :) It’s my year to redeem myself and show EVERYONE (including myself) that I should have been in college..and that I’m start enough to go on and get my MPA(Master’s of Public Administration) or to become a Pharmacy Tech.
