last post of 2008
It's been a long time (clearly) since I posted in this, but as I went through these posts for a fiction project, I came to the conclusion that these poorly written vignettes are useful if I ever plan on writing substantitive nonfiction (or if I'm bored and want to waste time going over the past.)
Right, so I guess to recap, I'm now an English and Psychology major, Economics minor. I actually finished all of my english and economics requirements (except for religion), but because I want to get the Psych BA as well, I'll be @ school for another 2 semesters. Reason I did this? 1) My grades sucked, and I figured out that no law school I want to go to would allow me in with an >3.0 GPA. 2) I finally understood how to "do" school my spring semester; I eked out a 3.3 spring 08, and got a 3.6 this semester (I was pissed about the 2 B's - psych 100 and my fiction workshop class should've been A's, but I slacked off too much.) 3) I realized how easily I get bored. With an English and Psychology BA, minor in Econ, I'd like to get in to a joint JD and PsyD graduate program, or get the JD, then go for the PsyD after that. Between a law degree and a psychologist's degree, I should be able to do anything that interests me - if I get bored in one area, there'll be plenty of others.
What else has happened? I dated a (then freshman) girl last year, Sasha. We started dating at the end of October, then I broke up with her after spring semester was over. We are still friends with benefits, and I'll be going up to NY in two weeks to go snowboarding with her. We're good friends still, even though she can get on my nerves a lot (more on this later). She has the same sense of kookie/dark humor I do, and she loves Annie. I can't blame her for that, but I really do need to get a new girlfriend, or at least a new fuck buddy, because Sasha's mood swings are really annoying. Like I said, I'll go in to detail with that more in another post.
I've been writing a lot - I believe I wrote somewhere in the area of 20k words in two/three weeks at the end of this semester. I got a 98 on an economics paper on antitrust regulations, and I did heavy revisions on nonfiction and fiction works.
I'm on my way to California right now, and I'm a bit tired, so I think I'm done writing for now. I've started playing Materia Magica again (was looking for a low-key game that would work on this 5 year old laptop), and I'm still longboarding occasionally. Anyways - CA for a week, then a week at home, then a week in NY before coming back down for another semester full of all psych courses (and one religion gen ed I still haven't got out of the way.) If I'm not writing other things, I hope to write more in this!
