First day from Hell.

Today was my first day of the semester, and it was so awful.

I'm on antibiotics for a small issue and I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror to find a sunburn-looking rash on my face. I haven't used that antibiotic before and haven't used anything else new so I can only assume I had an allergic reaction.

So I call my mom to freak out about that and my phone wouldn't let me make phone calls. I borrowed my roommate's phone because I wanted to catch my mom before she went to work and thankfully restarting my phone worked.

So I go to breakfast then call my doctor when the office opens about my face and blah blah.

But then comes my first class. I couldn't get into JUST her class on BlackBoard. Just hers. So I ask her what to do if I can't get into the course before the first quiz is due on the 24th and she basically said "Not my problem, go to the IT Help Desk."

So I went to my next class. I'm nervous about it because everyone has a hard time with that, but whatever.

After class I hit up the Help Desk and they submitted a work order to deal with my problem. They respond almost immediately saying I'm logging in incorrectly because of a new system, but I WAS using the new system and it was only THAT class that wasn't working. So I had the help desk update it. Help Desk's response is that it ISN'T THEIR PROBLEM, and it's my professor's problem.

I ended up crying at a social event my school had for a welcome back type thing due to that. It was a small, club-sponsored event so the advisor was there and calmed me down. She said that if the professor isn't willing to work with me, since this ISN'T my fault, I should go to the department chair and then if she doesn't help, the dean. She said that she'd help me if needed and I am not alone. She's the advisor for the club and works for the Disability Resource Center so she doesn't even have to work with me, I'm not a part of that. But she's still willing to help and said to email her if I need help. I'm so appreciative.

After the event I had a little free time to just hang out or whatever. Bought a snack and it was gross. Then I looked at the pharmacy website... She switched my antibiotic but she switched it to one that goes inside my vagina rather than the pill. I have huge problems with that so I freaked out and called back and at first she said that I couldn't take another type, but then she ended up giving me a new pill, thankfully.

Then BlackBoard went down statewide. When it went up again I could get INTO her course, hooray. But none of the material showed up so I emailed my professor for the second time and she said that this is something she can fix. I'm still waiting for her to fix it. The quiz is due in a week and I see her again Thursday so maybe I'll ask her if she still hasn't updated it by then, because I'm freaking out about it.

I then went to my last class of the day and it doesn't seem too bad. Each week she picks like five people to present on an article, and I volunteered to go first just to get it out of the way since she said we'll only each have to present like twice. Now I'll already have one down. She said she was going to post another assignment but didn't yet. :/

Went to the pharmacy after that and asked the pharmacist some questions about the antibiotic and asked if something I did may have caused the reaction and she didn't seem to have any sort of answer for me. How lovely. I was trying to figure out of maybe putting on my acne ointment while I'm on antibiotics did it. Guess I'll find out if I put it on tonight and wake up with another rash.

Went to do some homework after that and have to watch a documentary and can't get the video to load. Lovely. .-.

If this is any indication on how my semester is going to go, I am not going to make it.
