WAG - BLINK…
When did it get to be Thursday?
Wow. It seems like I just blinked and missed a day.
Though I’ve gotten a lot of small things accomplished over the last 48 hours.
My boards and snowflake door decs are done. Hooray! I got compliments from my boss and fellow staff members, so I’m happy. All I have to do now is sit back and wait for them to be vandalized (Don't laugh. I know someone over in Hatch who kept track of the time between decoration completion and the first desecration and found it took 5 hours).
Speaking of not-so-cheap shots, I’ve spent a little over $375 at the University Bookstore and I still have one book left to buy. Being an English major, I have a lot of books to buy. Unfortunately, most of my books have copyright dates of 2002 or 2003, so I only found a handful of used copies. So despite the fact I got my books earlier than I ever have before, the prices were high.
Speaking of things that are high, my GPA is still hovering around 3.5 (though it went down .019 of a point).
Mom and Dad, here are the grades you’ve been more than just a little curious about:
ENGLSH 50 CREAT WRIT: INTRO FICTION A
ENGLSH 324 RESTORATION & 18TH CENTURTY ENGLISH LITERATURE B
ENGLSH 340 STRUCTURE OF AMERICAN ENGLSH B
JOURNALISM 304 COMMUNICATIONS LAW B
JOURNALSIM 319 PRINCIPLES OF STRATEGIC COMMNICATION A
MUSIC 41 INSTURMENT ENSEMBLE: MARCHING BAND A
By the looks of things, I aced my three final projects (in Creative Writing, Strat-Com, and 18th Century English). I was a bit disappointed by my Com-Law grade, though I knew I kept bouncing back between A- and B+. I knew the grade I got in Linguistics class (Eng 340) even before the end of the semester, and considering how hard the class was, I am very proud of that grade.
In socializing news, the student staff members are trying to spend more time together – at least before all our schedules become packed. I’ve been meeting people for lunch and I ALMOST got to go bowling. We made it to the bowling alley, but found the place too packed to fit in. We could have waited for a couple hours, but other people had plans tonight.
I personally had to be on call by 9 p.m., but that still meant I had time to play some of the arcade games. I spent a dollar and earned enough tickets to get a green plastic army man. I had a friend who spent a few more bucks and a bit more time playing skee-ball, and got a harmonica.
It was crazy and foolish thing to do, but it was good clean fun (or at least as clean as it gets in a bowling alley).
My last bonus of the day was the tardy arrival of my Christmas present to myself. Back in November, there was a special deal on Sluggy Freelance books. I ordered The Bug, The Witch, and the Robot, A Very Big Bang, and Fire and Rain (Books 6, 7, and 8). I probably would have bought more (I already own books 1 and 2), but the rest were out of print. Anyway, I was sure to order them early enough to ensure they’d be in by Christmas.
As I said, they only came in today, but they’ve been a fine treat.
I still have paperwork to do tonight as well as rounds to make, but I’m getting back into the groove of things. And as long as I don’t have to write another triple-digit check to the bookstore this week, everything should turn out okay.
