i have life updates, which i have written in convenient bullet-point form! and also jared padalecki!
- i don't think i've said much about my spring semester since it started. here is a summary: it went well. i got the grades that i wanted with as minimal work as possible and i managed to raise my GPA a couple of points again. it is all very exciting, especially since (1) apparently my grades determine my entire self-worth, (2) my GPA really, really needed the boost after my sophmore year slump of, like, not leaving my house or writing any of my essays because the world is dark and scary, and (3) jared padalecki is around still looking like this and being a daddy, which honestly it's a marvel anyone gets anything done, let alone studying and writing.
- as you've all perhaps gathered from my last few entries, i was unhappy with my living situation so i've moved into an apartment with another friend, someone whose lj name is too long for me to properly remember. i think it's been going well so far. the supernatural poster i bought at chicon is getting good use above the television in the living room and i have yet to fight an urge to strangle my roommate in her sleep. in fact, she's been generous and welcoming and i'm thankful to have someone whose not going to leave her dishes on the sink for weeks at a time. also: we have three separates copies of supernatural seasons between us, which i have determined is the right amount of winchester.
- but our neighbors cook gross food every night and make the apartment smell like garlic.
- i'm a senior this year! last year (or year and a half, we'll see) until i am released into the job market, aka starbucks!
- all of my friends but two graduated my school in the spring. one of my closest will be up here for the summer, but is student teaching in her hometown in the fall semester and then graduating. the other has always been more of a drinking buddy, and the person who's probably my best friend transferred to a school six hours away in kentucky. i've never had a giant group of friends, but i've always had a few reliable close ones and without them, and the hours between us, i'm going to have a problem adjusting. prepare for whining and dramatics.
- however, the classes i'm taking spring semester are almost amazing enough to make up for my woe:
- HIST 409: Progressivism and Imperialism: The United States, 1878-1918
- HIST 482: Cultural History of the Celtic Peoples from Prehistory to the Present
- ENG 490: Literature and Gender: “Comb Your Hair, Fix Your Makeup”: Cosmetics, Costume, and Gender Performance"
- WGS 410: Women and Gender in Comics
- WGS 310: History of United States Feminisms
- i'm also in a non-western civ class i'm not as excited about that. so.
- i don't understand avengers, guys. i want to play with the rest of you but every time i try, well. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and needs more winchesters.
- the end
