Well so I screwed around with my schedule became best friends with the people at the Honors college and it was fun.
I actually loved the fact that the Honors college called me and said okay don't worry about Dr. Young signing it just get Dr. Jewett to sign it as Department Chair. Thing is, he's not allowed to sign it until my thesis chair does. I figured they talked to him and all was well. I go there and he's like I can't sign this. I'm like erm the Honors college said you would anyway because they'll create the class once they get your signature. He's like well....He looks at the form well since this is Directed Reading II I'm going to make the assumption that he knows he's your thesis chair and I'll sign it.
Hehe yay for convincing people to break policy for me. That's why I love the Honors college they always just assume that the rules don't apply to them.
After that I also decided to take another class, Creole Identity in the French Speaking World, which I had to get an overide for, which mean yet another visit to Dr. Jewett. (By this time I've been chilling in the political science office for three days straight, though two of which Quinn was there to keep me company). We laughed about it and I promised I wouldn't bother him again for awhile and he's like yeah I don't want to see you back for awhile, but I'm kidding you need anything come right back to me and I'll take care of you.
Dr. Jewett is great because he lives in his office and is there whenever a student needs him, he has office hours but they really don't mean anything, you can hit the poli sci office anytime and you're likely to be able to meet with him.
Oh so now I'm taking 19 credits this semester and I think I am going to apply for a job at Spirit at Fashion square since they're apparently desperate for people, the only thing is I have to have Saturday night off because I'd rather not have the job than miss that game, though Quinn wants me to go to the Magic game with him on the 29th of October, which with a job at Spirit I'll probably be working. : / But to be fair I'm seeing football games with him, maybe I could convince Makoto to go if I'm working.
I got new strings and picks for my guitar, as well as a new music book that should hopefully encourage me to pratice the fun stuff. BTW Sam Ash is the best place in the world to kill a few hours, we went threre and just had fun in every part of the store, we lost track of time so much that we ended up pulling into our driveway at the same time that my parents and brother were knocking at my door to pick me up for the game. XD. I snuck into the van while Quinn wasn't looking and he kept knocking on the door which amused me.
so yeah as long as I keep my GPA up and actually finish this thesis I'm sitting great for May and with a good shot at getting decent money for grad school. Yay!
