Western Civilization Since 1660-
Well, as of Wednesday I currently have an F, but I've been doing better on my last three quizes and think I may have pulled it up to a low D. But only temporarily as the last few quizes were over a book we were reading and now we'll be going back to actual factual history. Yayness
Biblical Survey-
Not really much to say there. I've got a B in the class and not much else happens in there.
Criminal Justice-
Once again, another B class. It's pretty easy, being an introduction class. I'm sure later CJ classes will be much harder.
Composition-
I've no class today because Dr. Wilson is using Fridays right now for student/teacher confrences. I had mine last week and it was short and sweet. I'm gearing up to do a paper on the ideology of Star Trek here in a month or so.
Exploration of the Arts-
Since last week we'd been preparing group presentations. We had to bring two songs, one with words and one instrumental. I provided a suite from my Star Trek CD for the instrumental and my teacher loved it.
Citizenship-
Yesturday I did the Swimming profficency test thing. I hadn't planned on doing it, but everyone kept telling me I should. So, I went. The whole time I kept praying "God, I know I'm not going to pass; just help me get thru it. That's all I wanna do." With every lap around the pool I gulped water, choked, and came very close to giving up. In the end...I passed! Now I don't have to take swimming; I can take bowling or tennis instead! I'm just so happy!!! I was actually kinda ticked off at myself for a bit afterward because I kept thinking how I had planned not to even bother trying, and, had I not, I would have had to take a class I really didn't want to when I could have actually passed.
Work-
Work's fun. The other day as I was leaving Dan told me that the next day I was supposed to come in with a smile and a joke. Of course I forgot, so I had to come up with a joke at the last minute. I told him the funniest one I knew and he just laughed and said "weak". Then I tried another one and he told me to work on it. My two favorite jokes and he dissed 'em both! He told Justin to have me tell him the jokes when he got to work, but I refused to. Dan dissed my jokes, so why should I have Justin diss 'em?
Anyway, this morning Caroline brought in cinnimon rolls. Delice! And they were unbelievably huge! I'm tempted to run down stairs and see if there are any still left.
In other news-
Last night one of the campus clubs showed Lord of the Rings; The Two Towers over at Plaster. I went since I'm a new convert of LOTR. One of their little schemes to try to get more people to come were door-prizes. I didn't care, but I took the ticket anyway. After the movie they called out the numbers and I just so happened to win a free movie rental, a free tan session (gotta find someone to give that to) and two $10-off coupons for Applebee's. I was a bit shocked. Turns out blowing off homework really pays off once in a while
The other night I went to a convo featuring the acapella group Chapter 6. I knew the name, but nothing of them. They turned out to be really good and now I'm looking forward to buying their CD. They're based out of Chicago (whole big story behind it) and have spent the summer down here at Celebration City.
Hurdy Gur,
Kelsey
