Ugh

That's the general feeling I've had this week. The flu is going around and I think I'm fighting it off. Right now I feel feverish and like there's something boring through my forehead.

Classes officially started on the 14th. I got my books, they're horrible. My statistics syllabus is as thick as a novel and includes this wonderful tidbit, "WARNING-If you cannot spend 18 hours per week on this course (on average), then this distance-learning format is not right for you. Many students who have been working full time while being fulltime students have ended up withdrawing from this course in previous semesters." It also requires scanning my homework assignments, using something called Minitab (which I'll probably have to buy), and using a T84 (???) graphing calculator. I dropped off my signed syllabus "assignment" late. It is not looking good already.

I already drafted an email to my adviser a day or so before school started about dropping out, but I figured- I only have two classes, I already got student loans for them, it shouldn't be that hard. I really don't understand why I need this statistics class. I'm really starting to hate this school.

I should've researched a little more. I only chose PCT because it accepted South Hills credits, but barely. I mean, I took healthcare statistics. That made sense. Their online format is horrible, I think at least. Assignments are hidden in folders and links and it doesn't always prompt you when you're missing stuff. My management teacher...if I met her in real life, I'd punch her lights out. I didn't do any of the weekly assignments she listed because I didn't know where they were. Not once did she email me asking why I didn't do them. Her weekly emails had to be so many sentences and all kinds of other bull shit that I cannot deal with.

I miss South Hills. =( It would be awesome if Penn State had Health Information Management at the Altoona Campus. I could go there in the morning and then come to work at 1.

I can't think.
