Sitting around before class..

I have nothing to do at the moment, so I figured I would give you a quick update on my life. Here is an overview of the topics I will discuss:
1) I'm sick
2) Bye Bye Ron Prince!
3) Listening to ignorant people makes me want die
4) Spanish credits
5) Is it Thanksgiving break yet?

Sound interesting? Alright, let's begin.
1) I feel like crap! I have been sick this whole week and it is not fun. All I want to do is lay in bed, wasting my life away, but no. I have school. In fact, I had to get up early this morning to take a physics test. Luckily, though, I'm a genius in that class, so it went well. But, overall, I just want to feel better. I'm considering going home this weekend to rest/maybe go to the doctor if my condition hasn't improved.

2) Yesterday, Ron Prince was forced to resign!! Hooray!! Now, the Wildcats might have a future! I don't think I have talked to a single person, who is not happy about this event. In one of my classes (a large lecture), a guest speaker mentioned it and the hundreds of students in the room started clapping and cheering! It was glorious.

3) I could not possibly be happier that the election is FINALLY over. For anyone wondering, I did not vote...I never even registered. This is for two reasons: 1) I couldn't pick between the candidates because I liked/disliked them both for different reasons. 2) Politics is probably the most annoying thing in the world!
Even more annoying than politics, though, is ignorant people. I almost had a stroke near the end of the presidential race, just from listening to voters argue with each other. I admit that I am not the most knowledgeable person about politics, but I HAVE COMMON SENSE. It is absolutely mind-blowing to me how so many people can be so incredibly ignorant about the government and the economy, yet talk as if they're experts. It is so annoying when people support a candidate so aggressively, but do not even know why they support him/her. Everyone, PLEASE, make sure you know what you're talking about the next time you want to open your mouth!

4) This actually happened about a week ago. I had an appointment with my advisor and she discovered that I already have credit for the Spanish class I am currently taking AND the level above it. Obviously, this was a problem. So, I went and talked to the head of the Spanish program, and guess what! She didn't know what to do either! So, she then spoke with the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and they worked everything out. It is too late to switch classes now, but they will refund me for the class I'm taking, and I will get free credits for a lower class. Next semester, I will enroll two levels higher. The next two classes I take, I will get credits for the other two lower-level classes. Basically, the college is giving me 15 FREE credits in Spanish to make up for the mishap. Also, the head of the program advised that I major instead of minor, since I am starting at such a high level for a freshman. SO, now I have decided to double major in Accounting and Spanish. (and possibly a minor added later on down the road)

5) I am so ready for a break from school. I'm definitely getting sick of my classes, and can't wait to relax a little. Also, over Thanksgiving, I will be able to work a little and hopefully save my dwindling checking account. The most exciting thing, though, is that after Thanksgiving break, there are only 3 weeks of classes left. Basically, I will just be studying for finals, then I'm off for A MONTH! I can't wait. Next semester, I will get to start over again with completely new classes, new teachers, new everything. I actually enroll next Tuesday. Overall, I am doing well in all of my classes; I'm just getting bored. Can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving!
