Hellish Week 1

I haven't posted in a while because I've been so busy. My first crazy week involved seven nights of working in a row while being a full time student. I have to conduct at least twice a week and preparations for that takes up a bulk of my time. In addition, I have to prepare for a lesson that occurs once a week. On top of this, University of Illinois decided to try to become paperless in one fell swoop and so far is failing miserably. You have to remember that U of I is one of the biggest schools in the country(over 40,000 students) and that there are at least 3 other campuses. The program has already crashed several times. Whenever it does, it practically shuts the school down. It's U of I's version of the Iraq Invasion - a good idea in the abstract sense but one executed in poor timing and an even worse implementation. I have become one of the victims of it. The University still doesn't recognize my assistantship so, I haven't been paid in two monthes and I don't have my tuition waiver. Every fucking day, I have to run around campus and yell at people.
