The Week From Hell!!!

It all started last Thursday. After a long day of going to classes and practicing for tennis, I came home to take a much needed nap when I realized "Laura has dance rehearsal!" So I drag my happy self from bed and make the trek back to school for the 6 P.M. practice.

We start going through the steps and I get pretty into it. After a few minutes we stop and a friend pulls me over to go over some of the steps she "doesn't quite get." I happily oblige, showing her the pivot when all of a sudden I hear a loud CRACK!

Was it a bird? A plane? No...it was my ankle.

My reward for being nice is a big, fat, swollen, throbbing sprained ankle. Can I just say "thank you!"

So I spend a few days taking care of that and am feeling a little better. Ready to get back in the game, right? Wrong! Not three days after spraining my ankle I get sick!!! So now, I limp, am sick, and practice for anything...yeah right.

Needless to say it was a great start of the week :)

So Monday comes...still sick. Tuesday...sick again, miss two more classes. Wednesday, make it out of bed. Two classes get cancelled because the professor is also ill so I use the extra time to make up my hours I missed at work. Life seems to be getting back on track :)

Hold the phone. Wake up Thursday...CAN'T STOP COUGHING! Miss another day. Friday...get up. Get to work late but it's no biggie. Go to class, have a good time...seems better right? NOT!

Rewind a bit. It's Spring and that means students have to start planning for next Fall. Chief concern for many is housing. Priority housing is a big thing on campus as there are few rooms to go around. Thankfully, I have spent the last two semesters in the dorms and am guarenteed my room next year just as long as I submit my paper work on time. So I go and put it in, thinking I'm all good.

The next day I get a call saying I have an outstanding balance and my housing papers will not go through until it gets taken care of. One call to mom explaining the situation and I assume it's taken care of. GOOD JOB LAURA!!! Just made an ASS out of U and ME!

Situation not taken care of, balance still there, must be taken care of which means little old Laura needs to fork over $4,000 in order to keep her space for next year. Insert a day of going to class, running all over campus (which is on a steep hill) talking to different people from different offices who don't know what the hell the other is doing all to find out that there wasn't even a problem in the first place! Yep, make the student worried for nothing...GOOD JOB!!!

If you think that's bad, try squeezing in studying for an exam and a quiz back to back with practices. Hope I at least lost some lbs!!!

And if that's not bad enough. I met someone online. I know buzz words; scary, pediphile, creeper, etc. But I decided to be careful and adventerous and meet him in person. Nothing to lose, or so I thought.

My date ended up being on that Friday evening. I was already pissed at the world so I figured, go, eat, if something happens whatever. To appease my worried roomies and for my own sanity, I bring a friend. Just so happens the place we're meeting him at is our favorite resturant so we're in relatively good spirits.

First thing...we can't find parking. Second, he's late. Third, him and his buddy show up, immediate creeper vibes (from the friend). Fourth, we find out they brought TWO cars...red flag? Fifth, dinner conversation is us asking questions and them giving disturbing one lined answers. Not to number it all but add in; creepy drunk tattoos (which are stupid and NOT ATTRACTIVE) jargon we don't understand, rude side along conversations, and footing the bill with a smirk that reeks "I'm getting something outta this."

OMFG! WTF! DILLIGAFAU?

Why in the hell do nice, intelligent, females with a lot to offer have such shitty weeks and get stuck with such dumb ass men? Can anyone tell me? Is it some weird, sick joke the cosmos like to play? Was I a bitch in a previous life? Actually, scratch that...I'm a bitch now :)

So yeah...my lovely week from hell. Please, if you have any comments or stories of your own...let me know. I'd be glad to know I'M NOT ALONE!!!
