Someone was listening!

For any of you who mustered up the patience to read my last post...I am sorry- truly, deeply sorry! It was whiny, depressing, and flat out annoying! No one wants to read about my pity party!
I had just been having a few of those really bad days when nothing seemed to go right.

So,without further ado, on with some better news, unfortunately new that maybe I only find interesting! i am going to tell you anyway!

It's about school.
I was enrolled in an 8am microbiology course. Call me lazy if you want (I can take it), but I was having an extremely hard time getting the kids ready and out the door to preschool, then getting myself to class by 8am, 7:50 if I was a really good student!. So I began begging and pleading...no, I ain't too proud to beg...with all the other microbiology teachers to let me switch into another class. I even talked to a chemistry teacher to switch into a chem class, anything...just not so early in the morning! Well...it was no's all around, even though there were still openings in some of these classes. This is about when I wrote my last post, obviously feeling pretty like the lady of misfortune, down on my luck! Boo hoo!
Well...I was online, just seconds away from dropping Microbiology all together and just figured I would wait until the summer to take it..which, by the way, would not have been smart for two reasons...one, time is not really on my side seeing as thought I am not getting any younger, therefore I have to make the most of the time I do have to devote to class... and two, microbiology is hard enough as it is when taken in the length of a normal semester. During summer classes the material is the same just condensed into a short length of time.

So...somewhere along the way, the universe must have caught wind of my moaning and groaning and put cosmic forces to work. With the stroke of luck, one of the teachers I had been pestering sent me an email asking how 'does Monday & Wednesday night sound?' Uh...without hesitation, any hesitation at all...I responded "absolutely", got in my car and went to class! Just like that! Just like that, I went from Downer Dotty to the happiest girl on the planet! Persistence pays!
And just to add icing to the cake and make this deal even sweeter...this awesome girl in the class offered me her notes, which happened to be all typed out!!!

I won the school lottery!
