It's Official!!

Just handed in my last paper!

Then, I went to get the mail and was greeted with a hefty student loan envelope.

Oy Vey!

Almost Graduated!

I'm one paper away from a degree. This is surreal.

BTW, I totally got re-hired for next semester. With a raise. ;)

Finals

Yeah, so 20 of us are up at 4AM studying for our Sociology final. The exam is in 7 hours.

Nostalgia

Tomorrow starts my last week of undergraduate classes. I'll probably cry everyday this week. I encourage you not to bet against this. I'm excited to start the Grad School app process, though. Even finding part times jobs feels exciting! And nerve-wracking. But, more exciting!

Believe it or not, that BA is a nice cushion.

24 Hours? How Stingy.

Usually, I attend 15 classes a week. Minus Traveling. This week, I'll be attending 21 classes. Minus (extensive) traveling. There are not enough hours in the day.

Where do I even fit my Birthday in all of that!?

A Future Memory

I spent my 1st official paycheck on.. :

1. gas

2. John Irving's Last Night in Twisted River

3. a book light

4. coffee

Not bad for 5 hours of work. (minus my 8 pro bono hours) :/

Highlights/Lowlights

Highlights of my week:

- Got my first paycheck! (Stub is safely sitting in my memory box.) :D

- Got B's on all my midterms. Usually I'm all neurotic about numeric grades.. anything beneath a 85% I start hyperventilating. BUT, it's my last semester and I'm lazy! 75%? Party!!

- It rained last night. No sound in the world is more comforting when trying to sleep.

- Passed the campus church and it was covered in rainbow flags with a sign saying "love thy neighbor." This wasn't done in protest..

- Going to the bookstore tomorrow to buy John Irving's newest novel. I'm beyond excited!

Low-lights:

- My students look quite concerned when they see I'm in one of there classes. It's awkward.

- I took my niece to a park with a petting zoo. There was a hugh white peacock (or a turkey..) that got loose. I ran away from it as she ran toward it. Words can not explain my fear.

Ooh, time to listen to Jimmy Fallon. Listen? Why yes, listen. My TV screen is still covered with static so I can only hear my shows. Convenient huh? (Let's add that to my low-lights!)

Distraught.

RU wants 2x as much for a parking pass this year.

I'm not really down for paying 300 bucks.

Looks like I'm back to hiking 4 miles a day.

What sucks most about this:

I'm confined to only sneakers and Uggs.

Dear FASFA

Blow me!

No grants? Gee, thanks. And just FYI, $3,750 doesn't even come close to paying off an entire semester. It's just fantastic how a majority of your money goes to those who don't even finish school yet you fail to help those who really need it. The middle class is always neglected and now I'm bitter and resent those who struggle. Douches.
