Is a 3.88 pretty ok? It seems reasonable- I mean, there were courses I could have done a little better in, and I hope to do a little better next term, but I figure that's pretty alright.

I want to keep my marks up to make it easier to get into a Master's program once I've finally jumped through this hoop. Onto the next hoop! MORE HOOPS.

Of my current classes (English Literature and Narrative, English Language Arts Methods grades 4-9, Music), music is the only one that doesn't make me feel like I am slowly dying. I thought ELA methods would be great, because the professor is a guy whose style works well for me and he's really straight forward, easy to follow, and he focuses on the ( Read more... )

I'm having a really hard time keeping up with my schoolwork this semester so far. I've picked up an extra class, and the school has gone to a really fucked up partially-full-term/partially-blocked-courses system that means that I have a Major Assignment (something worth 25-30% of my grade) due EVERY WEEK. It also means that we only ever have about ( Read more... )

"Hi Heather! I just gave your essay the highest mark I've ever given a history essay EVER. I had to go back and double-check that I wasn't just giving you good marks because I like you and you're my favourite, but I checked and it was actually a legit good essay. Wow!" - My adorable history prof who needs to stop teaching me so that we can be ( Read more... )

It never fails to amaze me how effectively I can procrastinate. I'm STILL NOT DONE ESSAY #1 and only just started essay 2. Welp, there goes my stupendous lead on my end-of-term projects.

I feel SO GOOD about school lately. It's getting towards that end-of-semester-everything-is-due crunch time, but I feel pretty on top of things and pretty excited about the projects I'm working on and kind of entirely on top of things for a change. We'll see how I feel a week from now, but right now I'm kind of stoked and feeling like NOTHING IS ( Read more... )

After two and a bit years of being in the workforce and wandering around grasping for anything resembling a career, I'm back in school again. I'm surprised to admit- I've kind of missed it. A lot. Oh man, textbooks, assigned readings, class discussions, makin' presentations, thinking about being out of school and working as a teacher full time ( ( Read more... )

Today is a day of Nothing Goes Right and I just want to slap every part of it and not have to think about it ever again. Here we go:

Wake up:
Ugh I feel like shit. My head is swollen and rolling around heavy on my neck, maybe I'll just skip the gym today because I am nauseas and dizzy. Fuck it, I'm still fat, but I still need to walk for 10 minutes ( Read more... )

 Last night I was struck with inspiration and now I want to go back to school maybe and contribute to the field of neurolinguistics like a crazy fucker. I definitely can't do it this year, and I'm not sure what I'll be doing next year, but I was so sure that I was DONE school and not interested at all in doing the grad school thing and now I feel ( Read more... )

I'm posting again (at least for a little while).

The past few days I've been in Montreal at the 70th annual Canadian Psychological Association conference. It's rad shit. It was a conference. I've been to conferences before- ANIME CONFERENCES OH GOSH I AM A NERD.

HOWEVER: I've seriously come to the conclusion that Anime Cons have been good practice ( Read more... )
