Just Three More Weeks and Registration

As of next Tuesday I will have only been in Dallas for two months and at that point I will only have three weeks left of school. Maybe if Baylor had been on the quarter system my grades would have been better.

This week started off with me going back to work on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. As of 2pm on Wednesday I had worked 27.5 hours since the "work-week" started on Sunday and still have to work 7-2 on Friday and 11 - 3 on Saturday. At least I know they wont try to call me in early on Saturday or ask me to work late because since they are a corporate store, they probably would get in trouble for paying me OT.

Last night I went back to class. It was the shortest Wednesday night class we had sat through all quarter. We were out by about 10 after 8 and after the past two weeks I decided I was going to take myself to dinner. I went to Cheddar's. I love their Crazy Nachos. I also got something called a Painkiller. The menu says they limit customers to two of them and I can see why. I came home after dinner and went to bed and I slept better last night than I have in weeks. I even woke up about 5am and I was in the same position I was when I fell asleep and that almost never happens.

You know you slept good when you wake up and automatically think, "Oh Crap, What Time Is It? How Late Did I Sleep?" and it's only 8:20am. I got up and finished some homework for my Management class and then headed off to class. Since Wednesday night they had completely blocked off the parking lot, forcing us all to park in the new parking lot. This made me a little late (2 minutes) to class but I wasn't the only one and after we explained the new parking situation she didn't seem too upset.

We had a guest speaker the second half of our three hour class so she gave us a break about 2:20. During this time I had to 1) go get a parking sticker for the garage and pray I hadn't gotten a ticket already; and 2) go to academic advisement that I had to postpone from last week and then get back to class before our speaker was supposed to arrive at 3:00.

I made it to my car before they gave me a ticket, but I was out of breath by the time I got there. The elevator is on the complete other side of the garage from the 3rd floor crosswalk to the school and I had parked on the 6th floor. Then I had to walk back down and then out to the culinary building and up to the second floor for advisement.

Apparently they had changed the class times from what was posted on the website, but I am registered for all the classes I wanted, they just got switched around a little. Next quarter starts on Monday April 4th and I will be taking Menu Management on Monday evenings from 7pm - 9pm and Regional Cuisine on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 - 10:30pm.

I will also have Restaurant Law and Ethics. According to the class schedule they had posted on the website this course was going to be offered on Saturdays from 8am - 3:30 pm. I wasn't too excited about that schedule although I had to take another class to have a full 12 hours for financial aid, but I found out today that it is actually an online class. The online courses are either offered for an entire quarter or half of a quarter (called a session.) This class is offered during second session so I dont even have to worry about it until May 18th. That is just too cool!
