a bit of an update
well, i've been home for almost a week now. it's been relaxing, for the most part, although i'm still not really able to sleep in as much as i'd like. every day pretty much i wake up really early (sometimes meaning 9 or 10, sometimes more like 7) but oftentimes i'm able to get back to bed for a few more hours.
my main task has been to unpack all of my crap. so far i've only been somewhat successful. i finally managed to fit in the remaining boxes into my room, but that doesn't actually include the boxes of books and dishes and other kitchen stuff that i clearly don't need until i move into a new apartment. i never realized how much stuff i have and it's kind of ridiculous. we were very concerned it wouldn't all fit into the two cars my family drove up to montreal to move me out. luckily we managed to stick it all in there.
my dad's been trying to get me to do all sorts of other things now that i'm home - like do all my laundry and cook dinner. nope. not happening. except that i am finally doing some laundry now. i have enough for quite a few loads. it also makes me concerned because my closet and dresser are really filling up with clothes already... oh geez.
um, also i went shopping last night with my mom. bought a cute summer dress and yet another bathing suit. that means i need to return some of my other recent purchases. also i got a nice beach dress. i'm excited to wear it all.
let's see, what else... well, i had a freak-out about a grade - a nearly failing grade - which i then discovered was a huge mistake and i'm getting it corrected. apparently the change-of-grade form has already been submited, i'm just waiting on the change to show up on my transcript. i'm also waiting for my social psych grade (just waiting for that S to show up to prove that i got at least 35% on my final exam). i've already been approved for graduation for my 2nd minor, been refused for my 1st minor (waiting on the change for that one...), and waiting on my major and faculty approval. of course that'll just take forever. mm...
also, despite all my beliefs to the contrary, it seems that ubaltimore got their act together and actually accepted me into their grad school. awesome. umm except not. i mean, i guess this is what i wanted. except that i have no intention of going there anymore and they do not say how to go about rejecting them. HA. um, ya, i guess i should get on that.
i'm still super sleepy. and i've really only eaten junk today. so maybe i'll go downstairs and have a real meal or something. i also really really really need to unpack because my room is an absolute mess. ok so it's food time. except first i'm going to check minerva one more time to see if the grade change went through....
