Sometimes....uuuughh....

Today's random rant of the daily happenings in the Academic Advising Center is courtesy of "the last minute students who want everything done NOW". Why is it that students like to walk into the office at 4:30 PM and expect to get service even though the office technically closes at 4:30 PM. Sometimes we try to be nice and try to help the students anyways, and they catch attitudes. This time, it happened to me. I was the advisor who wanted to help the student after hours. I kindly asked her to leave my office, because I do not tolerate that type of behavior. I made sure to tell her she should have a great weekend! Ugh...these students sometimes. I swear.I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. Sometimes I have to remind myself that..:-)

This must be my lucky day!

What a day!! Slept surprisingly well, eventhough my Dushi worked the overnight shift. Woke up , on time, with energy to spare, took a shower, got dressed and headed to school/work. I tend to still say school,it's hard to get used to saying work when you attended the same school you work at. Get it? Anyways, had to teach my First Year Experience class today, which went well..I love love love those kids!Even had some volunteers for our DR project that's coming up this Sunday.

I'm going off on a tangent- this is not even what I wanted to write about! Ooh well, guess it makes sense, my day has been great and just wanted to share how it all started out. So despite getting my shoes soaking wet from Miami's weather- come one, please make up your mind- let's just enjoy the fall weather instead of dog days of summer rain!!! So my black suede pumps are now black soaking wet suede
pumps ...ugh....





So while having my chicken ceasar wrap for lunch, I was reading my blogs (my daily routine) and saw my name as one of the winners for a giveaway. I was extatic ..you have to understand- I NEVER EVER WIN ANYTHING!!!..but today despite soaking wet suede pumps...I finally won something!! :-)




And then a new email pops up to my outlook and it's an email congratulating me on being a winner. I was like WHAT? Is this a joke or is this for real? I back tracked and checked my sent items...and indeed, I had entered this giveaway. Wooohooo celebration time :-)



Can't wait to receive my gifts :-)
