Getting Better

This past week...really, this semester, has been really difficult.
I wasn't feeling inspired. Sure, I felt motivated enough--I worked out, I went to class, I'm doing relatively well I think. But I just didn't feel happy.

But yesterday was the best day I've had since I got back to school and maybe things will keep getting better from here on out.

I know a lot of people have been trouble this past week, at least, if not longer. So, it makes wonder if the universe is just trying to upset everyone.

Hopefully it's over and I can work hard and be happy and get good grades and learn some cool stuff.

So, the FYS instructor position I mentioned last blog isn't going to work out. I would have to be here for training the week before classes and the fam is going on vacation this week.
Sorry, but I'd much rather be doing this:

 Or this

 Or this

 Or this

 Or this!

Haha. I think you get the point.

Hm. What else did I want to talk about?

AH! I got into the Upper Level Professional Program for Elementary Education!

That means that I can now take all the upperclassmen courses and I am cleared to actually get my minor.

Of course, this will only work if I get into the Speech Pathology program here, since my minor is "Elementary Education minor for Speech Pathology and Audiology Majors." :/

If not, I'll see about making my major Elementary Education with a minor in Speech and Hearing Processes because my adviser tells me that I can still apply to grad school with that minor and she'll be sure I get into important Speech Path classes that will make my transcript look better to the graduate schools.

I think that a lot of the classes I've taken for this minor, though don't work for the major. I can't find a program guide for Elem. Ed. majors though, so I may just drop my Elementary Education minor and keep the Elementary Education Language Arts minor. Then, I'll make my major Behavioral Science Psychology, instead of having my general psych minor.

But everyone keeps telling me that I don't have to worry and that I'll get in and I won't even have to worry about what kind of switching to do.
I sure hope so, because I'll have wasted a lot of time and money otherwise.

But, sad news...even if I do get in this time and I'm on track, I still have to take some summer courses and I won't graduate UNDERGRAD until, like, 2017. *sigh*

Anyway...on to happy things!
So, I'm way ahead on homework. It's kind nice to have the big gaps between classes because I just do homework (and work out) to keep myself motivated. And then I don't come home from class and say "school's over for the day, I'll just do my homework later." Haha.

Me and my Big did some of our homework yesterday while we were hanging out, before Chapter.
Then, later, we went to the Pi Kappa Phi house, because they had an "I Have A Dream Pajama Jam" in honor of MLK day. Haha. It was kinda cool. There weren't A LOT of people there, so it was nice not to have someone running in to you every second. But, it was cold, so that was kinda crappy.
We stayed for a little over an hour, maybe two, and then we went back to 1517 and just hung out until we were too tired.
I like going to the Pi Kapp's parties, because they aren't crazy hardcore partiers. I can actually enjoy myself and talk to people and actually make friends, instead of trying to hear myself think over blaring music and being stuck in one room packed with people I don't know. *cough*Sig Ep*cough*

 We took the pajama thing seriously :)
