the most relevant things come in three's.
So I tend to get that anxiety about what classes I'm registering for or about what classes I'm taking next year to meet all the gen ed requirements and for my major and minor. Even though I already registered, I looked carefully over my 4-year plan to see what I needed.
Oh, I forgot, so right after I registered, I did what I do EVERY term after registration: I realized I registered for a class I didn't need. This is what leads to me dropping a class and either adding a 1-credit since it's tough to get into a closed class, or just settling with 3 classes. Anyway, I signed up for RE392 - women in religion for my RE300 requirement.. only to find out it doesn't count for that because of some fucking HR suffix. So in a panic I tried to find something else that would fulfill my requirements but I couldn't find anything for spring term. Then I realized something.. if I took this religion class it would fulfill a requirement for a Women & Gender Studies minor, which was something I had been thinking about since freshman year. So after looking into it, I only need 3 classes next year and I have it for a minor. So I'm going to do it. Even though my parents told me not to.. as shameful as it is to tell you, my dad told me I wouldn't get a job if I had that minor on my resume, since I'd look like a feminazi or whatever. Nice to know my own dad is sexist. To hell with that, I'm getting the minor. If not for myself, but for that comment my dad made. That comment right there will be my reasoning.
Anyway, so I need 3 more classes for W&G studies minor, 3 for speech comm. minor, and 3 for my English major with a writing emphasis (something else I decided to add on since it was just 2 additional classes) and then 3 more gen eds and one PE. So I don't need summer school.. but I figure since I'll be here anyway, might as well lighten up my senior year load. And even though I should look for an internship, I'd almost rather get a regular job. I don't know.. that's not really a good reason.. I should get an internship, but there is something stopping me... too lazy to write a resume, not wanting to work for zero dollars, fear? I think I'll go to the career center sometime anyway, just to see what's available. If there's something really cool-sounding then maybe I just won't take summer school.
It's weird.. I'm actually thinking about the future. Usually I don't like to do that.. but as time keeps flying by, I get anxious about figuring out what I'm doing this summer and next year. Don't even ask about after graduation.. that's a whole other form of anxiety I'm not ready for.
