Why do we reject the things we clearly want?

Why do we reject the things we clearly want? Like someone offers you candy. You clearly want it, so then why do you force yourself to reject the offer anyways? Is it pride? Self-image?

Countdown

I am going back in almost exactly two weeks.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

[Yes I'll probably regret saying that ...few months from now... but ehhh :D;]

So I don't have much to do, so I will lecture a prefroshie [cough] about Rochester and tell more LHSers to come :D

Update on Schedule... #idk

I'm pretty sure this will be my final schedule for next year...





Unless I change maybe a few recitations and labs around, otherwise, this will be my final schedule. I might change bio recitation and lab to wednesday just to make my Tursdays and Thursdays happier. But yes, I'm like 99% sure that these will be the classes I end up taking for next semester.

[I lol @ the Hutch Hutch Hutch Mel Hutch Hutch Hutch (rooms)]

Also, kinda interesting how my Tuesdays and Thursdays start when my Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays end. It's like I have 3 completely full days on separate days lol... I wish linguistics was MWF 2:00 - 2:50, then everything would work out perfectly :D

Presentation

T__________________T. It's like my worst nightmare, speaking in front of many people that is. I have no self confidence at all and I have to do well on this presentation or it'll make my mom look bad --> mom lose job --> no money --> financial crisis --> can't pay for college --> can't live. Yeah no pressure at all... I haven't begun really prepping for it, but I shall work on it today and I'm supposed to get the basic outline done by Friday so my managers can help me correct it, and then my presentation is like at 2pm next Wednesday, August 12th, 2009. It'll be my first formal presentation... ugh so nervous... I'll post how well/crappy of a job I do afterwards ><;

As a response...

As a response to my previous question, it is too much to ask for because I'm "crap" and "don't deserve to be complimented."

She just disowned me this morning.

Financial Aid...

So I can't read or add... because apparantly they gave me an extra $2,600 after my appeal letter, not $600. I blame their... many types of grants...

My Financial Aid Awards:

Dean's Scholarship - $7,000
Rochester National Grant - $4,00
Rochester National Grant Supplement - $2,000
Rochester Undergraduate Grant - $2,600
Federal Work Study Eligibility - $3,000
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan - $4,500
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan - $2,000

So basically... I get ~$12,000 "cash" and $4,500 loans [can't take the $2,000 because of interest >_<;] and lol idk what I'm going to do about workstudy... So lazy and don't wanna work D:

Is it too much to ask for?

Is a "good job you did something right for once" too much to ask for?
