Red hair, new computer, bestfriends.

So there was this one time I dyed my hair red. I like it.

Oh, and got a new computer. That was a good time, too.

Also, I love my mother. She's my best friend. And my driving force. And what's going to get me through the next month of my life.

8-10 page paper for Gender, go.

I'm writing about the gendered dress code in the workplace. Fascinating. Not.

I got this.

I just realized!!!!

I'm going to PASS all of my classes!

Wow. Who would have thought I'd be so excited about that. Faulkner did a number on my academic confidenc though, so it's really great!

All right.

All is good.

Dr. Bucher was completely understanding of me needing to take an incomplete. Thank goodness.

As for the rest of my classes, I'm spot on.

-It looks like I'll pull a B in Spanish [which is great, considering how much I've struggled for whatever reason.] Test Wednesday, but I've been getting those grades higher, so I think I'll be all right.
-I should be able to get an A in Geology--I've gotten As on the first three tests, plus I've done really well on everything else. I've got my Lab final in about 30 minutes, but I so got this. And, the final shouldn't be bad either.
-I just got back my fairytale and my horror exercises in fiction. A- and A respectively! Oh, it makes me happy. Portfolio is due on Thursday, which means I've got to get that story edited and where I want it pronto. I may pull an A in the class. An A- at the least.
-I got a B+ on my second paper in Gender. Not as good as my A last time, but I'm not complaining. I knew it wasn't as good as the first one, but I mean, B+ is NOT bad by any means, especially in a 400 level Sociology class when I'm not even a Soc major. Depending on how well I rock this last paper [which I plan to] I'll get anywhere from a B+ to an A- in the class. I can live with that, I think.

So, aside from Realism and the incomplete and all that junk--this semester is wrapping up really nicely. And, I'm coming out of it with better grades than last semester [or even the one before that, for that matter].

I'm breathing, and that's good. =].

Two weeks, and then I'll be gone for four.

Love love.

My life.

Is as follows.

1. I am going to have to take an incomplete in Realism due to the fact that my computer died over break, and I had no way to write my paper or do any research--in addition to the fact that I really didn't have any sort of access to the internet outside of the Panera in Harrisonburg, which was a half an hour away from our cabin. As we are FINALLY home, I am now in the library and have sent her an email telling her this. Oh, good.
2. I have a geology lab exam tomorrow. I'm not as worried as I should be. This is probably bad.
3. My grandmother [father's mother], who has only said two words to me in her entire life and who's never bothered to so much as send a birthday card, is coming to live with my parents. Which means:
4. I'm moving out. I'm not really sure what this means for over Christmas break. I'm hopefully going to Richmond, but it's looking more like I'll be staying a few days here and a few days there. I have good friends, though, so I think I'll be okay. In the Spring I'll be moving on to campus. Wherever they put me.
5. Remember that one time when I thought that last summer thought me about myself? I was wrong. This past week and the several weeks to come. Those will be what teach me about myself. They will be hard and long, but I'll make it. And, if I get lucky, I'll come out of everything a better person.

The end.
