Fourth Quarter - 15 Minutes Left and Down By Four Touchdowns

Fourth Quarter started today. My online Nutrition class officially started at 5:00am and I left work at 1:00pm today to get some lunch and get registration stuff done before my Purchasing and Cost Control class started at 3:00pm.

Why am I down by Four Touchdowns?? Well, actually.. convert that into dollars, in the $##,000.00 format. The financial aid office waited until TODAY, the first day of class, of my 4th quarter, to tell me that the financial aid that I had previously applied for only covered my first three quarters and it was time to renew my loans.

That's our government for you... I wonder which genius mathematician-turned politician thought this one up... three quarters equals one year? What the heck?

Anyway, unlike that glorious "Christian" university in Waco that kicks you out on your derriere if you haven't paid every freaking penny by the 6th class day even when it was their financial aid office's incompetency that caused the problem in the first place, they said they mailed me the forms and told me to get them turned in as soon as possible.

My purchasing and cost control class is going to be a lot like my computer class from last quarter with a bit of accounting and some of my menu management class thrown in. It should be interesting and a good reason to leave work at 1:00pm every Monday.

I had about an hour break before my Asian Cuisine class and I took this time to change into my uniform and I should have taken this time to remember my stupid camera. My Asian Cuisine class is requiring a huge amount of homework compared to my previous cooking classes. As I was reading thru the syllabus I felt my heart just tightening up. The time ticking on the clock.. and omg, its just the first day of the quarter.

***Edited To Add Tuesday***

My Classical Cuisine class is requiring the same amount of homework as the Asian Cuisine class and I'm sitting her in utter disbelief. Wondering how I am going to possibly get it all done. I have no clue.

All I know is that I will be forced to do homework every single night, even Monday and Tuesday nights after working all day and being in class until 10:30pm. My online class will be over in 5 weeks so hopefully if I can just hold on until then, that everything will be ok.

***Edited To Beg For Help ***

If any of you have access to a fax machine, can type fairly quickly, and would be willing to help me with some of my more time-consuming and meanial busy-work type homework I would be most greatful. The Chefs give us these large packets of xeroxed pages of recipes, which we are supposed to turn around and type out onto index cards. I have created a tempate in Word that I can email you, I just need help typing out all these recipes.

In return? You can keep all the recipes you type out and I will burn you a copy of all the other recipes that I have already typed out from school onto a CD and mail that to you. No telling what you might be able to surprise your loved ones with for dinner one night.
