I have my life back!
...meaning statistics is over!!!! I passed the class from Hell!! With a B+!!!!
So yeah, for the last 5 weeks, my life was basically this: Wake up b/w 5-6am, eat breakfast, drink coffee, study, get ready by 7:30, walk to class, sit through stats from 8am-9:30, study frantically for quiz, sit through stats lab from 9:45-11:15, walk to penland, eat lunch, go to work from 1pm-5:45/6pm, go home, eat dinner, study/do homework (or cry to mother/friends/etc about how much I don't want to do homework, with the occasional drama episode stuck in for rebellion) until 10-10:30pm (IF I WAS LUCKY. More like 11:30-12). And then repeat. FOR FIVE WEEKS.
Now, take into mind that my work ethic when it comes to school is about, oh, -100. But I did every single piece of homework and studied more than I've ever studied in my life. And I was PRAYING for a C, but I managed to get a B+, so I'm ecstatic and off the wall. I think I pulled it off because I got the highest lab grade and I squeaked a B on the final. Amazingly.
One bad thing about doing well, is that it makes my decision about my major more difficult. If I stick with Psychology, I have to do more statistics, but I did get a B+ and none of the classes hereafter are anywhere near as hard. However, if I switch to Professional Writing, I get to do an internship AND I don't have to go to grad school. Which means less money spent. My parents seem to like Professional Writing, so I think I might go with that.
Anyways, now I'm in summer session II, and I'm taking Brit Lit (because I put it off since I was afraid to read Heart of Darkness), and Relaxation and Fitness. I had always heard Relaxation and Fitness was the 'nap class.' Well, they were WRONG. It's a yoga class! And not just a yoga class, a POWER yoga class. So it looks like fun, but it wasn't what I was expecting.
Other than that...there's not much. Except SUPER JUNIOR NEED NAME TAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. I learn who they all are in one PV, and then when I watch another their hair and everything is different and then I can't recognize them! I can only recognize Heechul (&hearts &hearts Love love love him!), Donghae, Hankyung, Shindong, and sometimes Sungmin, Leetuk, and Eunhyuk. Oh, and Ryeowook, but I can't stand him. His eyebrows/eyes creep me out. At least it's a majority.
I finally tried the Iced Latte from McDonalds. It IS pretty good, but I still like Starbucks. :)
I've been trying to write a short science fiction/fantasy story for a contest, but there are only 11 days until it has to be submitted, and I don't think I'll be able to finish it. If I hadn't TAKEN FREAKING STATISTICS I probably could have, but oh well.
OH! One last thing. I decided I'm going to try and take the level 2 test of the JLPT this december. I don't know if that's very smart, because my kanji skills are WAY behind, but I'm going to try. I'll have to study like crazy though, since I can't take any japanese class this fall. ;____; Maybe sensei will let me have a private study or something.
OH! AHIRU-MAMA! WE SHOULD ORGANIZE A JAPANESE STUDY GROUP AMONG THE JSA MEMBERS! Something that's not Japan table, because that's only once a week, and kind of doesn't work well. We should have a focused study group. Like we pick something every week to work on, like kanji or grammar structures or reading or speaking....that kind of thing.
