wow! i can't believe it. no, seriously.. i can't believe it... ok, so my psych 41 class. yeah, the one i NEVER went to at all except to take the tests... well i passed! i did more than passed.. i got a freakin' B!!! how the hell did that happen? ha ha. well after the final i tried to calculate my grade and to pass with a C i needed 350 points and i barely made it with 359. BUT, there was an optional essay at the end of the final that would give us up to 50 points extra credit max depending how well we did on the essay. the 1st day of class she gave a list of 6 topics that she might ask the essay question on, but she wouldn't tell us which one she would pick on the day of the final. there were topics that dealt with infants, adolescents, early adulthood, adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. of course, my usual self did not study much or even try to study over the essay topics. i lucked out BIG TIME because the majority of the test was on the last 3 chapters of the book which was on late adulthood (stuff i know A LOT about because of the CNA thing). so i passed the actual final. and guess what the essay topic was on? LATE ADULTHOOD! omg, i pulled everything outta my ass that i learned in CNA classes. well i guess it worked because that essay brought me from barely a C in the class to a B!! i needed at least 400 points to get a B which means out of 50 points on the essay i must've gotten at least 41 points! damn, i still can't believe it. thank goodness for the elderly! ha ha ghetto. so yeah, i passed the class i was worried about. AND i passed chem too! with a B! hell yeah. so i'm REALLY excited about that.
the interview today didn't go so well. well, i don't know if i should say it like that. it went well, but the place wasn't what i expected. i was "overqualified" for the job in a way. all they needed was help with cerebral palsy residents, not CNA type of work. and i need the CNA experience so i can go into an acute care facility. i need to work in a long term care facility for at least a year & a half to be considered for a job at an acute care facility. this place wasn't that. if i wanted the job, i definitely would've had it. but i didn't become a CNA to make $7.75 an hour! i was making more at mervyn's! so.. i'm still job hunting. but in the meantime i might get a cashiering job at home depot or something. they pay a lot better than this place! ahhh the smell of wood! yum. ha ha. i'll find a job soon enough, somewhere. i need DINERO!!
hmm, what else? eh can't remember. i think i wrote enough for now. so... i will write later. until then...
