The $@%!*&# telescope came and the ^#*!(#* telescope is defective. So now the *&!^@$# telescope is going back to Vanns.com.
Piece of shit. After waiting 2 weeks. They better be sending me a new one over night, or my foot will be strategically lodged up their collective asses.

I also took my exam this morning in what was SUPPOSED to be a quiet environment. Ha. I showed up at 11:00 at the university's Learning Center to take the exam, and Larry The Proctor immediately set me up in a cube. I felt ready, but I had some initial concerns about the distractibility, as Larry The Proctor was also Larry The Tutor and was conducting a tutoring session going in the same room. Why they scheduled tutoring for when they scheduled people to take an exam, is beyond my comprehension. I was thinking (hoping and praying), that maybe they'd be quiet and I'd be alright...

Shortly after I began the exam, my classmate with the long string of emotional problems came in and she was very upset. And Very Fucking Loud. For the next hour she proceeded to cry and loudly discuss her "nightmare" about everyone dying and how her cat jumped on her alarm clock and reset it and how she was too emotionally distraught to take the exam. Of course. I was trying to be sympathetic, as I understand her issues, however, the environment was not exactly conducive to test-taking for anyone, let alone someone with ADD.

I managed to finish the exam, and I think I did alright, but now that I've had a few hours to decompress, I find that I am extremely annoyed and pissed off. What I was promised would be a quiet atmosphere was the exact opposite. This shit is hard enough to learn, and to compress it into a 5-week class. Fine. I took on that challenge. But I did not sign on to deal with someone else's crap. I don't blame the girl in my class -- it wasn't exactly her fault -- she can't help herself -- I blame Larry The Dickhead Proctor for not doing anything about it. And the woman who heads up the learning center just got a not-so-nice email from me.

So, now I have a raging migraine, am tired, cranky, pissy, and bummed about my scope, and have a long-ass lab to get through tonight.
