Update

People wanted to know how my first day of school went, after my little post of the morning. First, let me reassure you all that the professors seem nice and friendly, my fellow students are pleasant and social, and since there is no homework yet I am not yet disappointing anyone. I don't think they're all smarter, anyhow. We seem pretty well-matched. And I am not the oldest person in my cohort (yesss!) because Jenn is there and Jenn is a few months older than I am. I like Jenn.

However, due to other events, my day was a little like a (fucked-up middle-class white-bread pansy version of a) country song.

"I got out of prison" = I went back to school.
"My truck broke down" = My car overheated and the damn tow truck driver never showed, after two hours of waiting.
"My dog died" = My dog shat in the house and I really am going to have to give her up and I cried all night about it.
Obligatory elements (Momma and excessive weather) = It was really hot today, and I called my mom on my way home from school.
"I got drunk" = I had some N/A beer and ate ice cream for dinner
"My woman left me" = My man came and picked me up.

The thought of giving up my little puppy is breaking my fucking heart but I can't cope with this anymore. And my car is still by the roadside which means I have to deal with towing and rent a car so I can get to school tomorrow. Oh, and did I mention that my wisdom tooth removal had something go wrong and is still really painful? C'est la me.
