well, things are really coming together now. turns out after i tried to get all my biology lab crap taken care of, it still didn't change my degree review form. jerks. and thats the only one that counts. so fuck registrar for telling me if they made note of it on my transcript that they would see it. fuck them. so anyways, i wanted to meet with dr. chernotsky to make sure, good thing i did. he told me he didn't like the look of things and it was good of me to try and get it hashed out now so that it won't be a headache later, and a headache that might come too late. so he sent me to see this degree advising lady. she's the one that pulled up my degree evaluation and saw that it still says "no" under "science lab credit". so i filled out a form and took it to another guy. the great thing about it was that dr. c said afterwards when i brought him the paperwork to look over it, he said that i should apply for graduation right now and that if they deny me that he'll go up against them for me because i dont deserve that and i definitely have everything they need and everything in order. :D he's the greatest. we teamed up against marta too. hehehe. dont look so tough anymore do ya? im just kidding, though it was funny. i wish kevin and erica had been there to see it. though kevin is in nyc and erica is in d.c. :( losers. i also talked to dr. c about my paper which im having trouble getting down to 7 pages. i told him i didn't know if everything that i thought was interesting was necessarily truly interesting and he said to leave it all in, he'd read 30 pages if i wrote that much. bitchin. cause i've been writing a shit ton. my mom asked if she could read it. ummmm no. i had only ever intended for dr. c to read it, and maybe marta and dr. houch, but i dont want her to read how i felt standing in a piazza in florence, she was there, she gets it.
so this is what shit looks like lately. hanging out with my friends again, awesome. saw everyone at the sauce last night, we watched the game and the olympics, saw phelps win his 3rd gold, america kicks ass at sports, period. and today after all my running around school, i went swimming with sandy. also made a new appoinment for the art department meeting since i have to work friday and patty was nice...again. holy shit. tried to get info about starting my job, guess i'll see soon, should be starting around the beginning of september, they're trying to work out a wage to give me. what is my work worth...hmmm? went to the career center and set up a meeting with them, i realized that i was trying to do alot of this job stress stuff on my own, might as well get some help and let someone take some of the stress off my shoulders. i'm really going to appreciate that meeting i think. i need to be a lot less stressed about getting a job after graduation or the next few months are going to prove a growing torture for me. so we'll just knock that out. im so excited and really proud of myself for getting to this point, seems a little weird and scary but people who are pretty amazing have faith in me, thats enough to make me less worried about the path i've dug for myself.
