I heard of it a couple years ago. Never knew about it. Friend explained that tri tip is Californian for BBQ.

No football tomorrow grinds my gears. They should do 1 game sat and 1 game sun. What am I supposed to watch tomorrow now?

Alternators are annoying to deal with. And if you're not careful it'll end up costing you a new battery as well.

They installed a "new" alternator to replace the "new" one that went haywire recently. Apparently. So we'll see how long this "new" one lasts.

Fortunately Wal Mart is good about replacing batteries so I got a new battery and alternator for free. Pretty good day all things considered.

Back the first week of December I register for my classes. Got it validated and everything was ready to go. So come last week I go to the bookstore, on campus, and give them my schedule and they give me my books.
Went to classes and one of the professors has quit so I have a different professor. This new professor has a different book. Of course she will not work with me on the book I have which is one edition different. I was like this sucks but oh well. It starts snowing so they cancel classes for the rest of the day. So I show up for classes and everything is going along fine until my last class of the day. Of course a different teacher that requires a different book. Go to see my advisor to find out that she has already left for the day. Anyway come to find out that my original professor is now teaching only online. So the registrar just put me into this other seated class.
I can understand things change, shit happens and so on. What I can't understand is that the college in all their infinite wisdom couldn't even think to send me an email to notify me of these circumstances so that I am not blind sided by them.
Especially when 4 USED books cost my $680.00.
