And So It's Done...

Well at least one of my wishes has finally come true. This nightmare of a semester is finally finished, which makes me kind of worry for what's to come. If this semester was so crucial, what the hell am I going to have to do next year? Gosh. It's a little bit daunting when you consider the possibilities. And of course, I now have this stupid ass apartment to take care of, but in a way I don't feel that bad about that part since I figured I ordered this I should continue with it and finish up with what I've got. But yes the semester is done and I didn't do half bad really. It had the potential to be a lot worse, since I had this serious bout of "I don't want to do shit," about halfway through, but I managed to push through that part and I think I made it alright. Unforetunately, all of my grades are still not in and to make matters worse the GPA part has not been calculated yet leaving me completely in the dark as to what the hell they call themselves doing over in the Registrar's office. It ain't like they got that much to do when the semester's done! Surely it wouldn't take an entire month just to imput coordinates and information into a computer for grades! But I guess for them, it does. Anyway, next semester I have a SHIT load of stuff to accomplish in order to get prepared for what happens when school is over. Off the top of my head let's see here:

*I've got to put in an application next month to VIA to go participate in their English study abroad in Malaysia (hopefully I'll get accepted into the program)

*I've got to finish drawing and getting together the application for FIDM to submit to them by Februrary.

*I have to submit an application to the HRC for the summertime in an attempt to get a paid internship there to hopefully lead to a more permanent position if something else doesn't come up.

*I've got to attend the informational meeting in January for the WRP so I can possibly do the NASA program again this summer to also lead to a permanet position.

*I've got to contact my mom about some freelance journalistic work for her magazine.

*I have to search for an apartment outside of the area to move to and figure out whether or not Shon is coming with me.

All of that. In a six month period on top of my classes...it's going to be a mess. At least I can happily say it will be the last mess I have to deal with. I finally finished Christmas shopping for everyone, so I just have to wait until the last of the stuff comes in and take it back. I also need to contact the people over at VR and see what can be done about this last semester and the future coming up. Ahhh...so much. makes your head wanna pop. At least in the interim I've discovered a temporary remedy. 24. That show is the SHIT! And the finale? Wow. They are a hot mess. that's all I'm gonna say about that.
