wow I feel like I have been in my own shell for the past month things have been so busy in my life that its increidble how fast time goes by. Well not to rub it in to my delhi buddies butim all finished with school FOR GOOD! I took my last final last wednesday and what an adventure that turned out to be. It started the night before when i was studying for my American Indian Archaelogy final and i happend to look at the point structure for calulating a final GPA in that course and started to freak out because i saw that 60% of your final GPA was based on both the midterm and the final each worth 30% which would be fine but considering i didnt even pass the midterm with a 58 i knew i was screwed cause the best grade i could possible end up with was a D and usally Ds will not count as a transfere creidt you must get a C or higher to transfere it in for credit.
So yeah then i went online and checked out Delhi's transfere policy just to make sure that i was correct and found out that some majors will accept a transfere of a D with permission from that department as well a total final GPA of a 2.0 or higher. SO i was like ok i will have to call my advisor after the final and see if they will let me transfere in just this one Ccourse with a D. SO i get to the university for the final at the ungodly hr of 8am. Im reading my notes for the hundreath time and knowing im probably not gonna do to great i just sat and waited for the professor to come with the exam. Well 2 minutes before the test was to begin the fire alarm went off. All the students had to go outside by the foutain and wait. The fire department was called in and 15 min later we got the ok to go back in. Well just as the professor was handing out the final the alarm went off again so we had to go outside. Well my professor was pissed so he was like all those students in my class that want to take the final outside i will proctor the exam outside all others go in with the teacher assitants and they will proctor it inside. I didnt do as bad as i thought i was gonna do i probably got a B- on the final.
So after the final was over i called my advisor to find out that i was worrying for nothing they would take the D as long as it didnt dip my grade below a 2.0 so and im probably just gonna be near that so all is good although i wont know final grades till thursday afternoon. The weekend before all of this i took brittany on her birthday present which was a hot-air balloon ride but unfortanly when we got up to where it was located which was out by Geneso area we found out it was too windy so we ended up rescheduling for August and instead went on a trail ride then came home. And the car made it with no problems hehehe. This weekend was my friend Amanda's wedding which caught me so off guard considering that i didnt even know she was engaged till one of my closest friends ana called me and asked if i would be her date. It was held in Johnstown and it turned out to be a nice day. The ceramony was outside which was nice execpt for the flies and the heel grabbing quick sand lol. Amanda look great she truely was happy and im really glad she is. She has been through alot and deserves someone that will give her the love and life she so deserves. Ana looked good too she was acutally in the wedding. She did pretty good holing back crying during the ceramony. The ceramony was short but nice.
The food was good too all in all it was a fun event and i was glad i could have gone. Afterwords we left and ana and i came back to my house for a bit then went out and bought the dvd of national treausre cause she hasnt seen it. She enjoy it. I drove her home after a long day for her she needed some sleep. Next weekend is my graduation and graduation party. In a way i cant beleive its already here it just doesnt seem possible that 5 years went by that quickly. Its gonna be a sad but yet happy day to celebrate the completion of my second and for now last degree in the higher education system. What now you may ask? work work work. My plan as of now is to stay here in the area for at least a yr and a half to possible 2 years not to sure on that just yet but i know that after that time comes i will not be in NYS anymore. Im moving south to the carolina's not sure where yet thats what the 1yr to 2 yrs is for to find a place to work and live down in that area. Dont worry i wont forget any of you i will keep you informed as to whats going on so and hey when i get my own place i will certainly need help. Well im tired its been a really long yet pleasurable day. Talk to everyone later
