We went up to the the Micronesian Mall to buy a new pair of glasses. They have my prescription on file from two years ago. They didn't want me to buy the glasses without an update checkup from the ophthalmologist. I insisted and she sold me the glasses, cheapest frame, no UV protection, no tint, etc. $169.00

Now I can see the computer screen again.

My netbook was destroyed in the crash, well, the screen was cracked. Wakana gave me hers which is just like mine except... I've been adding to mine since I bought it. Hers was set up for Japanese and had no virus protection etc. Sigh, got a lot to do.

In all the fun around the car I never explained the other thing that had my tail in a knot. I went over to the university to make sure everything was hunky-dory and found that they had no record of me applying for the master's course! They told me it was too late.

I had been turning in all the required documents but to the wrong office. The guy in there was accepting them and filing them and doing nothing with them. He could have at least told me where they needed to go.

There was an orientation meeting on Saturday so we went in so I could try to talk my way into the program. They were expecting about 15 people. 28 showed up. I wasn't the only one left in the cold.

The long and the short of it is that they will have to open up a new section and I can still get into it.

Last week day I mentioned to Wakana that every time I left the campus after a class I felt angry. I couldn't figure out why. It had nothing to do with her or home. I was enrolled in a class and doing well.

On Thursday I figured it out.

It was force of habit. Every time I leave the campus after dealing with the administration I leave angry. So, even when not dealing with them I still feel anger. Last Thursday didn't help.
