Texas schools + cold weather = stupidity

So, yesterday we had cold rain, and it was pretty cold all day, but the weather didn't start getting icky until night time. So understandably the public schools, high schools and such, were still open for regular hours. They canceled most after school stuff or maybe let out an half an hour to 45 mins early to help get people home before dark. So I figured if the high schools were open, the community college would be open so I could return the book from the class I dropped. I got up there and the were deserted, and all the doors were locked. School was canceled for the day, to my annoyance but I figured it was just TCC and my luck that brought it due to my not checking for it on the internet. Then I hear from a couple of my friends the UNT, the University in Denton, and my University UTA are also shut down. Of course I think this is really weird, because to me the schools with smaller or younger kids should shut down before university's during bad weather well before the University's should. That is how works in my logic because its more important to not have a crash getting a 6 year old to school because the government own school decided to not shut down vs college students deciding to brave the weather to get to class when they don't know the first thing about driving in iffy weather.
So because of the weather last night the roads froze over, my car is frozen and I have to go to school because all of my classes are after noon. The school districts are closed, and Azzies kindermusic teacher canceled classes because she cancels for weather if the school districts do. Yet, the University are opening at Noon. (I go to school 1pm-8:20pm MW) *sigh* I'm trying to convince my dad or David to take me and pick me up from school today. I can drive on icy roads well if I am driving during the day but because of my eyesight and some not so well lit roads on my way home tonight I'm kind of Iffy about driving home from school ... not getting to school. I'm hoping they wize up and cancel classes after lets say 5pm so I don't have to go to my last two classes of the day but that goes against my luck. Particularity when one of those classes is Social Stats, but I'm thinking of dropping that class anyway.
It doesn't help dad gets to stay home from work today.
The weather and the schools being weird isn't helping my stress. I've been so over loaded most everyone has told be to go ahead and drop a class. Its taking me to long to do my homework, and there fore taking away to much time away from Azzie, and stressing me out which isn't good for her. Its most likely going to be my stats class because I'm so bad at math ... even though this is my teachers last semester of teaching this class and she is very student friendly ... and I have two friends in that class that I could study with ... mom wants me to drop the anthropology class even though most of that homework is reading which I can do during Azzies naps, and David is more willing to watch Azzie so I can write the two page at home essay quizzes, rather than coming home after work everyday to help me with math homework.
First I have to find out what the rules are with financal aid and the scholarships I recived before I can even drop. Because if my mom and I have to come up with the money for the class right away after I drop, it maybe out of the question. Mostly because mom has homeowners tax hitting her right now, making her broke.

Well, I have to figure out lunch.

Friday!

So Azzie's bed has had a recall due to faulty brackets, so it has been a super mess while we wait for the recall folks to sen in the good brackets. Her play pin takes up most of the free space in her room, so there isn't much wiggle room to change her diaper, or the diaper genie, or get clothes from her dresser. Also Azzie has a new hobby of opening drawers and pulling everything in the drawer out! She has been feeling better today, playing dancing and all that stuff. She has just is taking her first nap of the day so we are going to run late to Grapevine, but both of us need to rest after her long day of wearing mommy out with out our nap break.

So I'm hoping for a chance to see Underworld tonight when we have someone watching Azzie. The few chances I've gotten to see any movies not via netflicks, they have been movies other people wanted to see like 4 Christmases and Benjamin Button. I didn't end up getting to see all of the 4 Christmases movie, because of Azzie being with us, and I don't really like Brad Pitt so I walked into the Button movie not liking it.

Well time to work on home work! The site came up this morning, so I can download my reading and such.

First Post

So here is my attempt at a new blog to help keep everyone updated.

Azzie, our little walker, is enjoying her new found skill! Sadly, on Tuesday she was running a high fever and David took her to the doctor Wednesday and we found out she has an ear infection. She is a trooper and doesn’t give us any issues giving her the antibiotics that she has been prescribed.

I started school Wednesday as well, two of my classes seem like they are going to be a breeze as long as I keep up on my reading. One of them I just don’t need to take a week at a time with the reading and such so I don’t overwhelm myself with the readings and such. Then there is Social Stats, luckily my teacher is also the Sociology & Anthropology head advisor, and she is a super cool lady. She assured us she is going to make it as Stats for dummy’s as she can and we won’t be doing any of the figuring of what card is next in the deck stuff like they do in the movie 21. Also I’m lucky, I know two people in my class so we can be study buddies and there is an ASL interpreter, and I’ve noticed I can understand math concepts better in ASL.

I’m in a little bit of a panic because I can’t log into the site for the homework in two of my classes. The help center guy said that I don’t have an account on the site, but that could just be because my teachers have not uploaded their rosters to the site, and so I can’t access the site until they do so. Also if they waited until today to upload the rosters it won’t be processed before 3am tomorrow. So, I emailed my teachers what my problem was with logging in and what the help desk told me, so hopefully things get worked out. I really hope it works out by tomorrow or Saturday, because I know I will just stress myself out even more if it’s not resolved before class on Monday.

Anyway, I'm off to finishing the disk of Dexter I'm on now Azzie is asleep, so I can get it in the mail to netflicks tomorrow.
