And I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud, give me a chance to hide away...

And a brief update. I screwed up my courage and went to go look at my grades... and found that they're not even posted yet. So I get to wait to see if I failed anything. I wonder if I would be happy in another job, maybe working as manager or assistant manager in some kitschy little craft shop or something. I like making things, and I like doing displays. Today at work I made about fifteen cheese trays, no two of them alike. There were spinning cheese wheels with grapes, a stained-glass effect cheese face with sausage eyes, a cheese picket fence, a cheese clown, abstract cheese and sausage braids, all sorts of things. I rather enjoyed it. And there's no professional responsibility exam to pass.

To prove that the fun just keeps on coming, I found out that I somehow owe the school 400 dollars in fees for things I'll never use. Argh. Weren't they supposed to take that out of my loans? Now I can't get transcripts sent anywhere for my internships this summer (assuming I didn't fail anything), until I produce 400 dollars from my ass so they take the hold off my student account. Well, that does answer the question of what I'm doing with my Christmas money. It would probably also be prudent to cancel at least one of my dental appointments. Things just keep getting better and better.
