Yeah, Yeah, I'm Gonna Update...
So, my finals went well. Don't you think you would have heard if they hadn't? I ended up getting A's on all of them, and I ended up finishing my math class with a perfect score (!!!). Let me tell you, last quarter wasn't easy. I kinda breezed through spring quarter because I picked a whole bunch of classes I knew I would do well in, but all of my fall quarter classes (including the religion one) were really challenging, and I had to work really hard to do as well as I did. I'm proud of myself, but at the same time I almost wish that my GPA had dropped just a little bit. The pressure just keeps building with each quarter to continue doing as well as I've been doing, and I know in the back of my mind that eventually something is going to happen that's going to end the 4.0 GPA. But anyway, last quarter went great. I couldn't have asked for better.
Winter break has been incredibly uneventful. I don't think I've ever had a less eventful break from school, not that that's necessarily a bad thing... but it has been boring at times. I did get to spend a lot of time with my family, though, so that was definitely a good thing. Christmas in particular was really nice. I'm ready to go back to school by now though, which is good since winter quarter starts Wednesday. This quarter I have a communications class (Techniques in Group Discussion), a political science class (Issues in American Politics, should be a hoot!), and a history class (Non-Western History Since 1750). I can still only take three classes (12 credit hours) because of my transportation situation. Spring quarter I'm going to have to try to take 16 credit hours (so at least four classes) so that I'll be eligible for school scholarships next year. Hopefully I'll have learned how to drive by then, otherwise it's going to be really difficult to get me back and forth. I can't believe I still haven't learned how to drive, but it just hasn't happened. We've had one problem after another with our vehicles, and we've just been too busy for my parents to teach me. But I plan to learn before I transfer to Athens next fall.
Speaking of that, that's still the plan. It pretty much has to be if I'm going to major in political science and minor in religion, because neither of those programs can be completed here at the Eastern campus. I could go another year here for the political science major, but I really need to transfer if I'm going to do the religion minor, and that's what I want to do. It's a little bit intimidating though, thinking about transferring. I feel like I'm behind, a college freshman at 22. But I know there are a lot of people who don't go back to school until they're in their 30s or even 40s, and some people don't get the opportunity to go back at all. So I shouldn't think the age difference is that big a deal. Most people don't even realize that I'm much older than them unless I tell them. I'm mostly looking forward to going to Athens... at last, I'll finally have some independence. Maybe I'll even start dating. Gosh, it's hard to believe I'll just be starting to date at 23 years old. I'm gonna end up just like Josie Geller from that movie Never Been Kissed (and if I end up with somebody as hot as Michael Vartan, it'll all be okay).
Well, I guess that's all I have to say right now. I hope y'all had Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
