Oh. Em. Gee.

Duquesne sucks, the American Cancer Society sucks, all of humanity sucks. We wanted to have our Relay for Life in the Power Center on March 8. We're having our Relay on Apr 5 on the field.

Issue #1: The Power Center closes at 11pm. You lose, Duquesne doesn't do overnight events. We can't cohabitate! Maybe you can reserver the practice field.

Issue #2: The American Cancer Society insists³³³³³ that Relay take place overnight.

Our sensible compromise: Put Relay off til the fall when it will be warmer, we can reserve the field and run overnight.

Result: We lose. Our Relay is already "on the books" for this year. It has to be this semester. Yay, slapping together huge events in two months...

Stop the presses, I made a sensible decision!

I dropped psych from my schedule today...without ever going. What?! Kailey drop a class? The end is surely nigh.

To back up a little bit, a few days ago I was checking my email and received something from the chem department about new requirements for undergrad research. Previously, all I had to do was show up on a regular basis, make something resembling progress and not blow anything up, and voila, A! Not anymore. Some professors require their undergrads to write papers and progress reports, so they've decided to streamline it. Now I have to have specified lab hours, write a HUGE paper at the end and two smaller papers throughout the rest of the semester. Its like a real class now. That sucks. Way to ruin the end of my Christmas break, Duquesne.

So that brings us to today. I'm going to have a crapload of extra stuff to do and the pressure to do it now with the new research requirements. Also, there will be a lot of Relay for Life planning that needs to get done, so the last thing I need is to pack my schedule. Thus, good-bye psych, hello slightly improved sanity!

Justin took Duane and I skiing a few days ago. I think he sums it up best.

But I had fun and can't wait to go again!
