It's almost midnight (11:57 as I'm typing this) and I just got done with being on duty for the night... so I figured I would update!
April is a crazy month. Extremely crazy. Classes are insane and the workload is barely managable! This upcoming Monday, I have a test, a paper due, and a presentation. The next day, I have another test. Ahhh. PLUS, I have a billion obligations for my other activities (Public Health Awareness Day is Tuesday!), and I just can NOT wait for this semester to be over.
Good news:
*My car reached 100,000 miles. Well, I don't really know if this is GOOD, per se, but I rewarded her with a trip to the carwash. I actually didn't go through the carwash (I'll wait till my car gets fixed), but I cleaned the inside and it made me happy!
*The head of my major's department gave me all of these compliments today and made me feel like a million bucks. :)
*I was quoted in SRU's newspaper today! In fact, I'll share the article right here:
*I saw Chelsea Clinton speak at SRU today (okay, well, yesterday by the time this is published). She was awesome! I still don't know who I'm voting for... I mean, I probably will vote for Obama, but I support both Hillary and Barack, and I will vote for whomever secures the Democratic nomination!
*I registered for classes, and I got everything I needed! Here's my schedule for Fall of '08:
- Monday:
Personality - 8
Medical Microbiology - 10
- Wednesday:
Personality - 8
Med. Micro. - 10
Med. Micro. Lab - 6
- Friday:
Personality - 8
Med. Micro. - 10
Med Micro. Lab - 3
- Web:
Intro to Criminology
American Corrections
I'm so excited! The labs are only 50 min. long, so that's not bad at all... and I decided to take the online courses because I only need them for credits' sake. They don't fill a block for me, they aren't major/minor courses, they are purely credits. So I'm pretty excited! Steve has an opposite schedule; he has all Tuesday and Thursday classes. He worried that we will never see each other... but I reminded him that we're living together and I know that having roomie time won't be a problem!!
*Seth is wonderful... he's currently en route to Pittsburgh from Las Vegas, where he stayed with his mother for a few days. He loves Vegas, and I have yet to go... but I'm glad he had a good time! This will be the first weekend since we've started dating that I won't see him, but out of all weekends this is probably the best one because of my workload.
*I stayed overnight at my house in Pgh on Tuesday because both of my parents were out of town. It was really nice to have the three of us hanging out!
*"Smart People" came out today!!! I can't wait to see it and see if I can find myself in the bar scene...
Bad news:
*Basically, all I need to vent about here is drama. Drama, drama, drama. Personally, I don't understand why some people LOVE drama in their lives. I don't really want to get into TOO many details, but I'm finding that in multiple areas of my life (not family/friends/boyfriend), there is always someone who makes life harder for others for no reason... I just don't get it. For me, if there's a chance of confrontation, I'd rather just confront someone or have them confront me, clear the air, and have it be done. I'm so sick of people's immaturity and it's really unhelpful when it all tends to happen around the busiest month of the academic year! Also, I wish people would take responsibility for things in which they choose to be involved. In a lot of what's going on, there are issues because people aren't respecting the position in which they're in, or they aren't respecting a position that someone else is in. I hate having drama in my life, and I'm just fed up with biting my tongue because I know it's the right thing to do. I'm a South (it's a personality thing, just ask and I'll explain), and I can only stay quiet and respectful for so long. I'm about thisclose to just saying EXACTLY how I'm feeling about certain issues, and I just hope that this last month of school goes quickly enough where I can just keep mum and let it all roll off my back.
Ah, that felt good. I find that venting on blogs is so calming. It's like, I don't know exactly WHO reads this, but even if nobody does, at least I've saved a few ears from hearing me chatter about insignificant issues (in the scheme of life!) and I feel better about things instantly!
Okay, I think that's all for now. Tomorrow, I'm on duty (aka getting all of my crap done), but I'm going for a lunch date with Chelsea (no, not Clinton this time...haha), and I'm soo excited!
