I went to the bathroom at work today, and literally felt like I stepped into a horror movie. All of the lights were out, minus one small bulb in the corner, and all of the doors looked really sketchy. The water was dripping. I knew that having too much coffee at lunch hadn't been good for me, but I didn't think it would literally lead to my death. Luckily I survived.
I register for classes on Thursday. This is extraordinarily late, considering registration started today. I register at 8:45 AM, and I know freshmen going at 11.
I don't want to talk about my schedule, but I might as well show what I am hoping for:
Sexual Diversity in Society (if I get in)
Sociology of Law (if I don't get into the above and if there is room)
Research Methods (puke, Sociology requirement...... if I get in)
Statistics for Social Research (if I get in)
Concepts in Social and Cultural Analysis (if I get in)
Facing the Music: Globalization and Pop Culture (if I get in... this is shifty anyway, it's in Gallatin, which is... shifty.)
Principles of Economics I (I think my mom just died of happiness)
Intro to Psych (if nothing else is left)
It sounds stupid to say "if I get in so much"... but if there are only 16 spots left in Research Methods at the end of the first day of registration, I know that I'm kind of in trouble. It's really stupid, though... they only have 24 spots available at all, and it's a sociology major requirement. Anyway, let's hope, because I really don't want to have to redo my schedule. I think I have enough alternates to come up with something. But NYU really isn't great about the class space. Yet another something wrong with how things are organized here. I think I can see why I didn't apply to be an Admissions Ambassador.
But I DID apply to be in the College of Arts and Science Scholars Program. With my GPA last semester, my dad was all over me to do it. If I get in, it'll be pretty sweet. I don't know much about the program itself, except that it'll look good on a transcript/resume, and they basically pay for entire study abroad trips during winter and spring breaks, including airfare. But that's not really exactly the reason I'm doing it... I kind of want a niche at NYU, and if being a nerd is it, I can deal. But I at least want to be a nerd with other nerds, rather than alone in my room.
I've actually wanted to write lately. This is a big change. I can't wait for the summer to start, because I'll have enough free time to force myself to think creatively, for once. I don't want to work at Westgate. I might have no choice, depending on what else I have to do. I don't want to sit at home doing nothing for 8 weeks, either. Then again, that sounds so attractive that I might. It'll be a good rest, before I jump up and off to Prague.
I ate a mango yesterday, for the first time in what felt like years. In reality, it was the first time since April 2 or so, when I stole a bunch of mango from work. But that was the first time in years.
Work is over now, so I don't have to stretch anymore.
