So today was my second pass at registration and I dropped and added a few classes. Here's my final schedule:
AAS010 - African American Culture & Society
LIN001 - Intro to Linguistics
SAS011 - California Geography
STA013 - Elementary Statistics
I know that most of my teachers are pretty cool, but Stats is a wildcard because it only says "The Faculty" like that scary movie where all the teachers were aliens or whatever. Anyhoo, I'm pretty happy with my schedule. MWF I start class at noon. Three classes on those days and an hour break in between each of them. And then Tues & Thurs I have one class in the morning at 9 and then I'm basically done unless I choose to go to the discussions which would be at night, always later than 5 on Wed Thur or Friday. So I'm content. I still wanted Film Studies or Animal Science but it conflicted with Stats and Linguistics, both of which are prereq classes for Comm majors. So I figure I can just take them later on.
Father is leaving back to Hong Kong today. Again, a bittersweet feeling. He's really been getting on my nerves while he was here, but he's still my dad. He's helped me realize things that I need to fix about myself and also things that I hate. I hate when people underestimate me. Also, I hate when I'm actually in pain and people don't believe me. I hate ostentatious/fake people. I hate when people hover. I also need to start being more assertive instead of passive. These are things I will try to work on in the future. We'll see how it goes.
Anyhoo, the other day when I saw the news of Stephanie Meyer postponing the Midnight Sun book because of the leak as featured news on the Yahoo page, I couldn't resist anymore. I had been trying not to read it so that when the book actually came out it would be the first time I laid my eyes on the editted, finished material. But I needed my Twilight fix and what was in the manuscript really helped. I am now, again, obsessed as ever. It got better for awhile but I am really crazy about Twilight. It's ridiculous, really.
I wish school would start soon. I'm excited now that I have the classes I want. Woot!
