...alright...

Whew! It's been a bit of a while since a proper update and I've been up to a lot. This entry will have to be a little short on my usual philosophical musings and whatnots. I think that last update I had might have been about finals? Let's go take it from there:

My grades ended up being a lot better than expected. Grades were as follows:

BIO 330-A
PSY 260-A
GER 102-A
SPA 302-A
ENG 360-B (poop)

To be honest, I signed up for the English course (called Literature and Philosophy) as a fun class so I'm not kicking myself too hard for it. THEN I have my summer courses. I made an A in PHI 202 (Ethics) and am taking MAT 145 (Trig) right now in order to prep myself in case a grad school decides I need Calculus. I doubt it, but one never knows. This fall I really need to step up my game though. I'm taking 12 hours worth of psych classes (50% of those will be fun), 6 hours dedicated to classes in evolution (not mutually exclusive to the psych classes, by the way. One's a psych course and the other is a bio course). Of course, Spanish is there (at this rate I should just double major in Spanish... I'm still unsure why I continue to take Spanish or German). And somewhere I'm auditing GER 201. I'm taking 19 hours, working two jobs, AND starting my code-switching research. It's going to rock.

I did find a job off campus a month ago working at a resturant downtown. Instead of being a waitress (like most girls), I have been deemed to ugly to be serving customers and am working in the kitchen. This is no joke. I was told that. It's easy work, but I have a feeling all money will be put into savings (as I am not making much). However, I have procured a job on campus as the secretary of a new program in the department. The word "secretary" is not an over-dramatization of the position either. I'm the department head's assistant; needless to say, I'm fairly pleased with that development.

Sorry for the dryness, but I'll be sure to wax philosophical and wane optimistic about my situation later. Until then.

Cheers.
