So I spent the past hour trying to keep myself from hyperventilating and vomiting my banana pudding shit dessert all over my stomach as I lay here in bed freaking. Why? BECAUSE MY ANTHROPOLOGY COURSE FILLED. Uhhh ok yeah I'm taking things a little too far, as usual, but for the past few days I've been like "okay Colleen, if I can just do 20 credits this semester then everything will be fine. If I just take 7 courses then everything will be fine." I just kept saying it over and over and over again to calm myself so that I would fear not graduating in time. There were ~10 spaces left. The last orientation session was Thursday. Friday...still ~10 spaces. All seems cool, right? NOT SO! I check tonight and mysteriously the course is OVERFLOWING. How?? I don't know! Supposedly the only people who can register until the 4th are orientation students, and there was no orientation session Friday-Sunday, so wtf? Who knows. But I freaked!

Then I decided to calm myself (I tried clamming myself, but it wasn't working) by mapping out my degree progress for the future. A little OCD, a little crazy, but it worked. I feel a tad bit better! VOILA: (grey courses are area requirements, pink are my education major, and baby blue is...of course, my psych major)

It doesn't include courses during summer session, which I really don't want to attend. But...ok, not really an option. That also doesn't include my 5th year, which is graduate school, because (for instance) the first semester is only two courses. One of which is 12 credit hours, which is like wtf. A 12 credit class makes me lol. Whatevs. UVA you do whatever you want and I'll follow.

Ok this isn't so bad. I don't have to take anything absurd like 8 courses...so things should be okay...I should be fine........

WHY AM I STILL FREAKING
