Did I already do this one? I don't think so. But I love skittles. They're one of the few candies I can eat right now, as long as they're not the ones with gelatin. I'm in a weird, bitter, despondent mood today/right now, so roommate bought me some skittles from the machine downstairs. And, as I mentioned before, they were the tropical kind, but somehow they tasted a little better this time.
As much as exercises in positive thinking can help improve your mood, it sucks to force myself to love something when there are so many things I don't love. I don't love having a really late registration date; I get inconvenienced every semester when I'm registering for classes because certain classes I need are offered at stupid times or are filled up, or classes that are listed that I can take that I get really excited about don't show up when I search for them. You get these professors who get mad at you for taking their class just to fulfill a requirement, which I get, but if I have no choice, and I'm stuck taking a class that was not on my radar at all, I feel like I'm completely disadvantaged. I don't like taking classes that I would not choose to take, and I'm sorry, as much as I try to improve my attitude about it, there is a certain level of my mental health that I have absolutely no control over. I guess I get to look forward to another semester taking classes I don't enjoy. Although, I shouldn't say that, I'll be taking Letterform, which I'm looking forward to, and Beth is taking it too, and I'll be taking Pres. Tech. at the same as one of my other roommates, which is always nice. It's always convenient to take classes with or at the same time as your best friends/roommates.

Can you talk to the dreaded Lars again about this? Seems like an advisor should be able to help you get around these issues, especially since they are so unfairly arbitrary.
I did talk to him about it, and he sympathized, but said that there's nothing he can do about it.
