Yes, I did register last week! And I am vair vair excited for next year to be taking courses that are actually relevant to my major and minor. And I'm very ready for next year, as I have learned a lot about organization and time management from this year. Cramming = bad. So hopefully I can bring my marks up and get into a decent graduate school that is NOT HERE! =D
A- on my monster English Essay! 30% of my mark worth! Woo hoot!!
I also got an memo regarding Australian weather: it seems that we are assigned in the Southern parts of Australia for volunteerwork. And since it is winter, it could be cold (cold to them is like 0 - 27 degrees celsius, or 32 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit for you Yanks! haha, Yanks...) and there could be snow even! I think though for the "exploring" part of the trip we'll be in Sydney and the more Northern areas so that should be warm. I may even get to visit Ashley and Sophie and Jess and Sim! YAY! =D
I must study for the lab exam this Tuesday. Yes, be jealous. I have a 5 day weekend.
Happy Easter, all!
