Or something

My 2007 fall semester schedule is completely screwed up. I thought this semester was bad but christ, the one coming up is going to be worse. damnit.

I had NO idea my registration date was so frigging early. stressed I wasn't able to check on it because my computer monitor has been frizzing out on me. After about an hour and a half (two hours if I'm lucky) the monitor starts to spasm until there's nothing but a white blur of screen. Then I have to turn it off. If I turn it off for about sixty seconds, it'll stay on again for maybe another minute and a half.

Because of this, I didn't really have much computer time.

But I doubt there's really an excuse aside from the fact that I just neglected to check the damned date. Now, every Wednesday and Friday I'll have to go to three hour long classes.

But actually... I keep forgetting that they will be the only classes of the day, really. The sucky part is that, since I need about an hour to drive there, these afternoon classes completely cut my day down. So the time I concentraite best on school work is taken up by driving and class time instead... at least, that's what happened this semester.

But the worst part is this god-damned Behavioral Statistics class I have to take. Not only is it a required class for my Psych minor, BUT it's also a prerequisit for *ANOTHER* class that is required for my minor.

I would have had the class, last night. But just as I typed in all the code numbers for my schedule and pressed that jolly old Submit button, BOOM. I find out there's a HOLD ON MY ACCOUNT..... They have been doing this for everybody, apparently, but I thought they had decided to keep it restricted to Freshmen. At least, that's what they told me Freshmen year. And there was never any such hold on my account all last year.

So because of this jolly HOLD..... I missed the ONLY Behavioral Stat class that was available. F'king screwed. I'm going to have to get my a** to any of the other offered classes, after the semester starts and just beg like all hell, hoping that the proff will let me in his class... otherwise, I just hope to god they let me take these two damned classes TOGETHER.

Oh, oh, ohyeah. And get this. I actually HAD the Behavioral Stat class THIS SEMESTER. But uh like a year ago? When I was signing up for a frigging MATH CLASS, the proff of that class told me I should take a 205 class instead. Because the 111 class I was in, he said I didn't have to take... and that I wouldn't NEED it since I was an English Major.

UHOH GUESS WHUT. The Behavioral Stat class for my MINOR requires that I take a math class that is higher than.......... 206.

So I dropped that Stat class and took .... the Math 111 class instead this semester. The class I would have taken last year. Which would have allowed me to take the Behavioral Stat class this semester. So that I wouldn't have to run my a** all over campus NEXT semester trying to snag it after the god-damned HOLD caused me to miss the ONLY CLASS they had LEFT by the time I GOT to the add/drop classes form.

Christ....

As much as it's my fault, because I missed my deadline by almost two whole weeks...

I'D MUCH RATHER TEAR THE HOLD TO PIECES. And.... brood about the various other incidents that previously could have prevented this momentary agrivation and anxiety.

Just when I finished my bigass psych paper too. *head drops on desk*

I'm not writing in my old blog because I hate it and all the negative crap that ventured into it. And I despise the layout and all the HTML and it just pisses me off that I haven't even looked at that site in uh... a few months, I think. Maybe more?

I've been looking through the DSM-IV though. Call me a dork but it would be so cool to have a copy of that book. D,x But ... that's probably not conventional... And it's probably really expensive. ;____; But I want it.... It's fun to read through because it's so very interesting.

I often looked up the symptoms for a Schizoid Personality Disorder and wondered about the symptoms listed there. Doesn't mean that someone has delusions or hallucinations or anything. It just means they're cut off from people and prefer to be alone. x____x;;; Though many people say they want to be with people but for some reason they just aren't. It just makes me wonder about certain stuff.

Aside from that, although I could write pages about crap involving "how things have been," just like anyone could if they neglected their blog for the past four or five months.... I'll probably have to cut short here. This is a brightly lit public Anime/Community forum. No place for lama-drama as they say, amirite? dramallama (The words are reversed on purpose, I swear! mad )

People with SPD prefer independence, solitude, and detachment. They are also comfortable with the fact that they have an inability for extraversion. Although they experience little anxiety, they can still see the difference between them and the rest of the world. One patient with SPD commented that he could not fully enjoy the life he has because he feels that he is living in a shell. Furthermore, he noted that his inability distressed his wife.[2] According to Beck and Freeman,[3] patients with schizoid personality disorders consider themselves to be “observers rather than participants in the world around them.”

It's rare, though, seeing as how it only appears in like 1% of the population... or something like that. It's weeeeird. Ohyeeeah and it also starts to set in at around early adulthood. Go figure. = =;

Call me paranoid, Ishmael.
