I just got back from chemistry, I didn’t go last week, which was when it started but it was cool. I like night classes. Plenty of free seats available, no police officer to give me a $25 ticket for not having a new parking decal, also generous parking spaces, I don't have to wear makeup, I get to wear pj bottoms and the list goes on... also I might add my professor seems wonderful. She’s British but schooled here at UT. She seems very proud of that. Every other word out of her mouth was along the lines of " ... though I am teaching chemistry, my actual doctorate at UT is in nano (can‘t spell it)______ chemistry/physics/everything science you can think of or while at UT I contribute in this something something along those lines. This went on for 2 bloody hours.
When you sit on the front row you can’t sleep, doodle, read or sneak out. You’ve got to be studious, you have to ask question and when you have a teacher like mine who likes to ask questions and wait till someone gives the answer, you might have some problems.
Now chemistry is a.... Thinking of the word... a can’t think of the word. But anyway it can drag on & on (as it did tonight) and become tedious, dull, dreary; monotonous, dry you get my drift. So I was happy when 2 girls behind me asked if I wanted to do a study group with them, I liked the class but I'm not sure of how much information I retained. I'm glad they asked cuz I never would have, I'm just not that brave.

A TCC problem occurs when the torque converter clutch is being applied and the transition from slipping to lock-up does not occur smoothly. This is because the clutch locks up for a split second and then breaks away, repeating this cycle as often as 30-50 times a second, until the engine speed and the torque converter speed are close enough for the clutch to successfully achieve lock-up. These rapid engagements and dis-engagements produce a vibration that can be felt and sometimes even heard as they are transmitted to the driveline....
....Did that make sense? Not to me it didn’t. I feel like crying, infact I know I will I'm swelling up already. You know how when your car is sick your are sick too? Maybe it’s just me. Whenever my car has had to go to the repair shop I get into my moods, I can become abusive too, I can’t help it it’s my only means of transportation. It’s like my life blood, if I don’t have a car I'm stuck in the house, everything around me freezes till I get it back. And Texas oh Texas is nothing like London at least there I have the tube to go around in. The public transportation system in Texas is not as advanced as it should be, yeah they have DART and other mass transit bus lines but there isn’t one that actually connects two major cities i.e. Dallas and Fort Worth. They’ve just started building underground rails. If I were in London it would be okay not to have a car; I didn’t have one when I was there. I could get on the tube in an hour I would be in Dartford, it could take me to Plaistow, hell all of east London and then back to Kent.
Normally I would pout for just a little while but today its worse, I've found out what’s wrong with my Toyota. TRANSMISSION. For the past week the “service engine soon light” has been coming on and off. I consulted the driver’s manual when it first came on, all it said was to add better fuel and make sure the fuel cap was tightly screwed on. I did that it still came on. So I forked over $90 to have a computer diagnostic test ran on it. When they told me it was the transmission my heart sank at first, I really love my car and plus it sounded expensive to fix. Well it is very expensive money that I don’t have and I don’t think my dad has readily available. It couldn’t have come at a worst time to; I start classes this month. I don’t get financial aid or loans it comes all from my parent’s pockets. Plus I'm living on school run apartments that $3200 a semester for that plus another 3 grand for the tuition, I feel so screwed. The mechanic was telling me he has to take the transmission out of the car that's $389 then when he’s pinpointed the problem they either have to rebuilt it or put a new one in there that runs $400 -600. I started to cry, seriously so feeling sad I go tell my dad, he had that “what the hell is wrong now look on his face” I wish I didn't have to bring more drama into his life. We talked for a while my mum came in interjected her two sense and found a way to pass blame to me, I ignored her. We talk and talk then my dad says the most wonderful words he has ever spoken to me, he goes “what about that warranty I'm paying for doesn’t it cover transmission?” I’m like what? I got a warranty; I didn’t buy the car my dad got it for me so all I know is that I came home one day and my mum was like “this is your car”. I didn’t argue, all I knew was I had a new car with air and a CD player in it. Anyway with this new info I head back to aamco and tell the guy do whatever you got to do cause I’m covered. So he calls the warranty people and as he is getting off the phone he looks at me solemnly, I'm like uh oh what now. He’s telling me go talk to your dad, cause he need to call the Warranty Company. I'm like why and he keeps insisting that I go talk to my dad and we call the warranty people. So here is where I am, first thing Friday morning my dad is going to call the Warranty Company. His been paying on my car since 2001 and his been paying the warranty since then too, so how come when we really need it now they are trying to screw us?
I know I've got to be really worried when Late Night with Conan isn’t making me laugh, all i can think about is my blue corolla.

Classes don’t officially start till the 25th of august, but already 75% of all fall classes have been filled up. Being the procrastinator I am I just started signing up. I really taught I had time, I hate being an ass. Nonstop for the last 3days I've been at the ut registration page and at the pickaprof page. I pick a course read a review then go look if that teacher is still available. I'm left with losers! Not really losers they are smart you know but I don’t want them. All good aka “ easy coherent, likable don’t have a stick up their butt’s” professors have been taken. I'm looking at the registration page and it’s bad, I see a couple of students were able to beg some of the good professors to let them into their classes. Things like 151 out of 150 seats or 278 out of 275 seats taken. I wish I had the balls to do that; but that just means I'll be sitting on the cold ass floor or on the stairs, which I did last year for biology cuz too many people were in there. I'm just waiting, waiting to see if some one gets sick, pregnant, God forbid death, whatever, so I can snatch up a space, I refuse to settle for the proffesors with high drop out rates, and worst comments by there names. My first chemistry teacher was one of them, but I didn’t know this website existed so I took the class. I should have known though; the majority of science classes always always fill up fast but this class was half-empty, I should have ran the other way. Anyway this year I'm taking 3 science lectures and their labs. That a lot for me, I hate science. But I don’t have a choice my major requires them. I saw my advisor on Monday. She told me not to take all of them at once. I was like “what do you want me to take?” All I have left are science courses; what I really want to take I can’t. I want to take foreign language courses but not the so-called Spanish I took back in high school. I swear I didn’t learn a damn thing. My teacher was German and sometimes she would speak German to us, I want to take Dutch or Chinese or something, but I have to do that on my own time and money
