Registration for Spring 2009
It's that wonderful time that is usually dreaded -- REGISTRATION for my school.
I actually love registering. I love the feeling of basically being in 100% control of what I register for. Literally, I can take whatever I want -- mind you, I may have to face some consequences as to money and graduation time, but still, within guidelines I can take whatever I want. How exciting is that!?
To me, it's priceless. What's kind of sucky for next semester, though, is that I'm taking 15 hours. Not only am I take 3 more hours than I have been comfortable taking since Spring 2007, I'm taking 2 core classes. This bites beyond belief. It's a science and my last German class, which I'm sure will go over just HUNKY-DORY (sarcasm) considering that I haven't taken it in a year. My fault, really; I just didn't want to have to take that dreaded class w/ that dreaded...woman.
Aside from that though, is that Eric is going to be taking his second sociology class! Hoorah. In fact, he came to me said, in a story, "I've been thinking about taking sociology." AH! I could have made it with him on the spot. I can't express how very much I love sociology.
But there is another downside: I'm going to be taking Dr. Lowney. She is an awesome woman and lecturer, don't get me wrong--it's just that her requirements for papers, assignments, etc. leave something to be desired: LESS!!! She is notoriously hard when it comes to writing and assignments. But the upside to this is that I'm taking her for Capstone, which, for those unfamiliar, is basically my cap off to my major. I learn to write a good resume, what kinds of jobs there are out there for me with my new BA degree that, oh yeah, I'll have on December 12, 2009, and all that good stuff, so I figured that honestly, if I'm going to get the most out of this, I had better take the hardest teacher there is. She'll be the best to prepare me for what I need--some teachers are a joke. She is not.
So, you see? All I need is a good attitude and I'm sure I can make it through. It will be hard, no doubt, which is why I have considered working no more than 20 hours/week if I decide to stay at my current place of employment--it kills me to be there, which leaves me unwilling to do anything when I get home, like, oh say....papers/assignments/etc.
Hopefully I get a new job though. I applied at a temporary agency, which will definitely let give me a more diversified job history if nothing else.
But that's all for now. I have to figure out a way to convince myself to keep studying. I've done a good job at it so far. If I didn't procrastinate though, I wouldn't have to worry about the test that's today, but I'm a good procrastinator, if such a thing exists.
Toodles!
