It's 10 A.M and my week has been absolute hell.
To begin with, I was nominated to take Alicia and her fourteen other classmates to the movies next weekend by the children trove of mothers.
However, a majority of the mother's won't pay up for their kids to go see the movies; as if they expect me to pay for it.
I had to put my foot down (and be rather heartless) and tell them that either they pay me or their kid is not going.
How unfair to the child, I know, but it is not totally my fault.
Secondly, the principal of my university calls and informs me that the records containing my mathematics records from Yale have either been lost or mixed up.
I want to teach a philosophy class this upcoming semester, but in order to do so, I need to have had calculus.
I have taken calculus, but my records don't say I have; simply trig.
So I called the dean of records in Connecticut and asked him to send me records.
After some arguing over it, he simply states "You can either wait two weeks for me to possibly find it, or you can come get it yourself" and hung up.
So, now, I am at a crossroads.
Do I wait the possible two weeks so that they MIGHT find them and chance it?
Or do I take the fourteen hour flight to America, find them, then a fourteen hour flight back a week before mine and Alicia's vacation?
We are to go to Paris and so, I am looking at a fourteen hour flight, two days of shifting through papers, another fourteen hour flight, a few days of rest, and then another nine hour flight? It is unfair to Alicia to cancel a vacation, because she so wants to go to Euro Disney. I will not do that.
On top of that, sweet Akoi (you should remember who I mean) said that his mothers' condition is stablizing.
I know it sounds good but it really isn't. His life consists of her and work and nothing more and as his friend, I wish him to have something more.
He's only twenty-one and doesn't deserve to be so trapped and smothered.
We thought that his mother was going to die for a while, which would have been sad, yes, but then he would be free.
Now that she's stablizing, he has almost no hope of ever getting out from under of taking care of her.
You all know how I feel for Akoi..the poor, sweet dear, and he just does not deserve this.
So, my week sucks. Any opinions or ideas? I'm tired.
