2008/2009
so i took an intersession class at vcu.....intersession is basically a normal class squeezed into the week after christmas before regular spring semester starts. so anyway, i took the hollywood renaissance course....400 level art history/film class.....it was ok, aside from the fact that i dont really like 70's films......the class ran from 12-27 until 1-9 and we only had to grades (50% each) a final exam and a paper about something relevant to the era......i thought i did really badly on the test, and pulled an all nighter to write my paper (being the slacker that i am i hadnt even started it until like 9pm that night).......so i was praying for a c in the class......
the test wasnt soooo hard, but he had a huge section of true/false that was really "wordy" and he was trying to throw us off, so i wasn't so sure on that.....short answer and essay i did really well on im sure....
my paper was good....im sure of it
so what did i get for my final grade....a "b" so yay me getting a "b" on my first real class after being a slacker for a long time.....
im trying to graduate asap, looks like it's going to be fall of 2010.....after this semester i need 40 credits to graduate.....not a lot, but that's still a handful when you take me still working full time plus ot into the mix......
2008 was a pretty good year....i got my license back in august, which is wonderful!! being able to drive is probably one of the best things ever.......i did really well at work......so yay money.....erin and i are good......the house is great.....and yeah.....that's that
so for 2009
it's off to a good start with school going well....so far.....we'll see how spring semester works out. im trying to do more things that make me happy this year.....im a dork and enjoy knitting and reading......soooooooo i joined an online knitting circle, and we're doing a swap project right now...so that makes me happy......ive been reading a lot, im waiting on a bunch of books to come in the mail-i ordered them off of half.com last week.......im trying to lose weight because ive become a fat ass......we transfered our gym memberships to the new golds....so im going to start doing that this week, we've been eating better......i havent had soda in over a month......and on top of all of that, i just ordered a new pair of fluevog oxfords....and theyre super fucking hot......if i get b's or higher this semester im going to order another pair....and if i lose at least 30 lbs im going to buy the jeep ive wanted.....so ive set goals...and we'll see if they happen
