Having an AAAARRRGH moment

And again I say AAAARRRGGGH!!!!
Well, okay, it's not as bad as it could be, but I feel aggravated nonetheless.
So, I tried to preregister for my exam to become a certified pharmacy technician today.  It very quickly went up in smoke.  The requirements have changed since my mother took it; now I need either a year's experience or completion of an approved training program.  Neither myself or mother was aware of this.
I won't have either of those things until later in the fall when I reach a full year at the pharmacy, so the hopes of getting this out of the way before classes start are gone.
And really, it's the last thing I needed to find out.  I don't feel confident juggling a four-course load and being able to remember what I picked up from the training course at the same time.  It would probably be possible to take the exam on, say, a Saturday once I meet the requirements, but I can't say I'm pleased at this...turn of events.
I find it hard enough to find reasons to smile, so what I don't need tonight is a reason to frown.  Thus: AAAAARRRRGH!!!!
