i think i’m gonna read perks of being a wallflower tonight. 

i’m going to read the Game of Thrones series. 

and eventually update this blog. 

and everything that we’ve been dreaming of, we’ll make them real one day.

today we find our heroine sitting in her psychology of learning and learners class. this class is a total of three weeks long. as it was supposed to be set up, the professor would teach the first and last weeks, and the middle week would be taught by the grad student. well. i’ve found that i’m not very fond of the grad student’s teaching style. i find it confusing and boring in equal measure. well in an exciting turn of events, my professor is sick this week. so the grad student has ended up teaching 2/3 of the class. i’m not sure how i’m going to do on this last test this friday. i tell ya what. i was happy for the maymester being only three weeks when it started. but now i feel like even that’s too long. i’m burned out. my other class has decided to go an extra week. these thoughts aren’t making sense anymore.

eric’s in the bahamas. boo.

today, our hero is grumpy. 

because there is a guest lecturer in the weather and climate class but he’s teaching on the exact same thing we’ve already done. three times. he’s really nice but he’s the guy who is in charge of designing the labs. if anyone has ever taken an intro level lab, you’ll understand how i feel about this guy. especially since we’re just doing a lab. and i already had lab today

high score in tetris: 32,000

grumbles,

sorry for the complete radio silence this past week. it was a little rough. things were settling in and people were settling in to summer and i was feeling a little left behind. i’m not even sure if i can give a good recap of the last week. 

a lot of my week was spent trying to find my scholarship money, applying and getting my first credit card, and trying to get my immunization forms to GSU. the scholarship money is still missing. 

but this weekend was fantastic. thursday night malisa jane came and stayed with me and we went to the old people’s breakfast joint friday morning. it was fantastic. then i came to atlanta and went to my classes and took a test. stayed with eric that night and went on a real life picnic on saturday!! it was absolutely fantastic. went back to snellville and spent sunday with me mom helping her clean up the house a little and move some furniture and prepare for a garage sale. then came and spent sunday night with my friends and eric! it was absolutely lovely. monday one of my classes was cancelled and got back the test in the other class that i took on friday. i wasn’t all that confident about this test but somehow pulled off a 95.5. i really like grad school. i seem to be successful at it. 

which puts us at today, tuesday, the last week of labs and class 2. one more week after this of class one. home stretch. then summer summer classes start. i’m taking 14 summer credit hours. so this should be interesting.

mundane but caught up on life,

Grad Girl

uh oh. today i ran into identity problems. i hadn’t thought about how my fellow GSU student would see me, or at least i didn’t think i did. until this morning, i was going to wear my favorite shirt, one that depicts all the mario characters. i love this shirt, but i found myself deciding not to wear it because i didn’t want people to think i’m a nerd. but let’s be honest… i am a nerd. and i’m fine with that/ i’m HAPPY with that. why am i worried now what these people, who will never influence my life, think about me.

geekily,

Grad Girl (dropping the hyphen?)

got my first test back today. it was in my psychology of learners and learning class. i like that class a lot but i was a little nervous coming out of this test. made a 96. this is one of the most amazing feelings i’ve ever had. i’m hoping i can continue do succeed like this. i’m working so hard. hoping this pays off. short post for the day. nothing too exciting happened. the world was pretty free of danger. i took a test for my intro to weather and climate change. not sure when i’ll get that back. it was trixy. i think it was actually just poorly written. we’ll see. back to lab tomorrow. i’m getting really good at this whole “normal routine” thing.

excited for the second day of this thing called a ‘weekend’ grad girl set out to enjoy sunday. i woke up early (around 8, actually sleeping in for me) and drove with my momma to griffin to get a car that had no license plate. on the way home, i was to follow mom closely so we ding get pulled over. but mom couldn’t work out how to turn on the lights so finally she told me to pull over and come help. we doncha know as soon as we pulled over, a helpful cop pulls up behind us to make sure we’re okay. sweet. but we were avoiding the law, remember. well he actually turned out to be really nice. he asked if we were alright and we told him it was a newly purchased car we were just trying to get home to snellville. he noted the lack of license plate but said nothing of it, wishing us luck in getting home (about a 1.5 hour drive). 

then i went to a graduation party of a girl i’ve known most of my life. and it was nice and festive. then came home and hung out with a visiting boyfriend for a while. then we went to longhorns for mothers day. i tell you, i think i had the most delicious steak of my life. then we came home, mom and i went for a walk and i settled in to enjoy this day of rest, sunday. and that’s when i realized…

sunday still didn’t exist. it was already over. did sunday just decide not to come this week? i was pretty sure i had heard that sunday came after saturday, yet here i was, excited and prepared for sunday, and it had already gone, leaving me to study for my climate change test that is today.

maybe next weekend, sunday.
