things will get better.

that's what I keep telling myself at least.
things lately haven't been going so great. 

I was taken by surprise when a professor

 of mine decided she would take her 

sour attitude out on me and give me a grade

 I did not earn in her class this spring semester.

 She exclaimed I did not get the grade

 she posted, yet it reflects on my final grades.

 how silly of her to think I'm so stupid. 

 so essentially, my financial aid has been cut

 and I may not be able to attend school

 this summer or fall due to a woman 

 who evidently graduated with a master's degree

in clown school and

 who thinks my education is a joke. 

 When is enough, enough with professors?

 when can a student have had enough, stand up 

and flip the bird in rightful mind.

 which is what I totally want to do, right now. 

 pardon my language. 

It takes a lot to piss me off. 

It doesn't take much to worry or stress me.

 I feel like because I'm the student

 and she's the professor, that she 

thinks she can treat me with disrespect. 

I am a grown woman. 

I am a student earning my spot to be in

the same position she is in 

right now, teaching people. 

and I do not limit this only to professors but

to the staff of UNCG that I have encountered as well- 

I have had such an inconsistent and 

unpleasant run in with a lot of the people 

 who call themselves Spartan Alumni

 and faculty. It hurts when a person

 of high authority can put you down

 or throw you down because, what?

 I look 16. I'm entering my senior year. 

I make damn good grades.
AND I DON'T need to justify to these people, my life. 

especially when they don't give a crap.

I just have done my part.
I have done all I can do.

I have exhausted my options 

and now I wait. I wait to hear back

 from financial aid who kindly enough

pays for my entire university education and a little more.

 I am grateful for the aid I get semester after semester. 

The thing is, I was all set and ready to receive my check, 

ready to start the summer semester

 and now because she entered my wrong grade in

 and late might I add, I get nothing until my appeal 

 is heard and I can go back to living my normal life again.

blarg.

I have some things that did make me happy 

this week and kept me sane. of course I'll share!

 my goodies from Beatrice over at sew bea!

 she's incredibly sweet and this made my day.

 spicy crab roll with cream cheese and avocado

I want more. yum.

 these always make me happy.

 delicious dark chocolate & espresso.

 beloved kindle and sparkling pomegranate blueberry juice. 

sinking into a good book relaxes me.

 these munchkins

 make every day better.

 our snack every day.

 sometimes frozen, yummm.

silly billies.

 surprised faces!

 kisses anyone?
