The ups & downs of college life
May. 6th, 2008 04:28 pmI haven't used this list style in a long time. Let's see...
+ I got nearly perfect on my Asian Religions midterm. Go me!
- I have a lot of homework due tomorrow: AR paper, at least four chapters of reading, response questions, & reading "Death of a Salesman" for Thistory.
+ Belated Cinco de Mayo celebration at the boys' tonight! No, I don't like tequila, but I like the boys, & I like their neighbors. Sweet.
+ Am done with the first design project!
+ Am having a chiropractor appointment today, which I am probably more excited about than I should be.
- My appeal for fifth year aid got denied--which means no scholarship money for winter & spring next year. SU, you really need to figure out your effing budget already.
- I have more credits to finish than I thought I would have...which is okay, except for the fact that schedule-wise, they don't work out at all.
- This school is run really, really badly sometimes.
+ More Ghost Sonata this weekend! (But I am satisfied with it all, really, & ready to be done.)
...so overall, not so bad. Most of those damn negatives are from me trying to be an overachiever. I'm considering dropping history, because a) I can't get the schedule to work at all (one class I need is at the exact same time as another I need--who plans these things?!); & b) all fifteen credits I have left are classes I just don't want to take, & do I really want to suffer through the time & money for things I won't enjoy? On the other hand, I'm so damn close that giving up now is practically painful. Plus I'm ridiculously stubborn. So I'm not sure what to do. I'm talking to Dr. E soon I hope, which will probably fix my life, as it usually does.
Time for that chiropractic appointment. Oo! And I went to the gym last night--which I'm feeling, yikes--but I felt all workout-y & productive. I want my Ireland-style abs back! I will be hardcore. And then run away & join the circus, which is what I really want anyway.
