thursday at last
i like thursdays.
i finished my term paper finally, two hours before the deadline and just in time for Mind of Mencia. i took my Hebrew Roots of Christian Faith exam this morning. i'm glad i didn't spend a lot of time studying for it. cumulative to my professor is apparently just dealing with the broad themes of the class, not with nitpicky definitions and fill-in-the-blank. for this, i am thankful. my American Civ I exam went okay. i left a few blanks, because i couldn't remember who invented the steamboat and the term phrenology escaped me. etc. i should be fine in that class, though. American Authors of Color i know i have an A, and Speech for Language Arts. Race and Ethnicity i think i got an A in unless she hates our group paper. Assessment is my wildcard this semester. at midterms, i had a B minus for apparently no reason. she's a fickle, arbitrary grader who condescends to treat us like obnoxious four year olds. my favorite class ever. drip. anyway, i better have an A in that class, or i'm going to get obstinate and argue the points that i should have received on an assignment. so watch out Ed department!
anyway, it's officially the end of the semester, basically, and i have just to pack and get everything ready to go home for a week, where i have to pack and get everything ready to return for the summer. tonight, we're having a The Last Unicorn party. when we were getting cookie cutters for the Scott and Mike who wanted to make cookies for their Nature Writers class, my Dad and i included the unicorn cookie cutter as a joke, but it turns out we're actually going to use it! woohoo. Jenna and i are up to that tonight.
i'm getting more excited about the summer. i think it will be good for me to live away from home. Mom finally told Aunt Sonya that i'd be living away this summer. she seemed to take it okay. Kim, who will be my full-time boss this summer, told me that i should bring a good book into work everyday. awesome. that was what i was half-hoping to hear. i was worried about the transition from a desk/retail job where i had LOTS of time to read - i mean, last summer i had time to read all the Shakespeare plays i hadn't read yet, and that was just the first month or so; this summer alone i read (dispensing with italics for time's sake) The Idiot, The Brothers Karamozov, Crime and Punishment, Middlemarch, Vanity Fair, the new Harry Potter, Rabbit Run, Stone Diaries, Still Life with Woodpecker, Anna Karenina, a Saul Bellow novel, and the other books for our Contemporary American Fiction class which i can't think of right now with Rolling Stones playing - to possibly a job with no reading time or no reading allowed in time-lulls. However, Kim told me that there will be hours when i will have nothing to do. can we say AWESOME? yes we can. i have a long reading list this summer.
in addition to reading time allowed on the clock (i feel like i'm cheating somehow, but my boss told me i could! so there!), there are a lot of people staying in Anderson for me to play with. i was a little worried i'd turn into a hermit, but i think i'll be just fine. i hope to have a car soon. especially since i'm living several blocks away from campus and i can't ask people to drive out to get me so that we can just hang out or anything like that. i mean, i could, but i won't. because that's just the way i am. so i'm looking forward to a car.
finally, i'm going to PAPAFest in June. this should be an amazing experience. holy cows. it will be like nothing i've ever done before.

check it out.
well, i'm going to get around to being productive. maybe. or not. heehee. at this point, i'm just floating along, enjoying myself. it's a nice change.
peace, love, and rice krispy treats. lots of them.
