Ugh, the past 24 hours haven’t been overly wonderful.

Let’s start this captiviating tale at dinner. We have a bunch of steaks in our freezer (Thanks Mom!), and I decided that it would be a wonderful time to make one. So I went to the corner store, got a thing of Fettucine Alfredo (which we had 3 of in the cabinet, as I found afterwards. Oh well.), and was all set to make my dinner. The pan ended up being too hot, so when I dropped the steak in, it gave off a bit of smoke. Apparently enough smoke to set off the smoke detector. Which brought Campus Safety and those wonderful men in yellow jackets. As well as a good deal of embarassment at my exquisite culinary skills. But I ate that steak, and I enjoyed it, damn it! (It turned out pretty good, actually.)

Wait, though, for this epic tale gets better. I get to programming class today, and realized that the electronic dropbox for the first two Practice Exercises closed about a minute before I got there. Luckily, they aren’t worth much at all in the grand scheme of things, and I can probably get them manually checked off next class.

But the worst thing by far:

“Lee, I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you about your placement exam results. †You did not pass the exam and therefore have to take 4050-351 to complete your degree.”

I mean, come on. I have an Associates Degree in Networking. I think a hearty WTF is in order.

Whatever, at least I know what courses I’m taking next quarter…

Hopefully the next 24 hours are better.
