Yosh! Second day back at college and it's a snow day :).
So my break was veeeery relaxing, but not nearly long enough. I ended up getting a B- in Research Methods, thank all that is holy, because I seriously wondered if that class wasn't going to do me in and make me flunk out of college and life in general. I ended up getting a B in Mus Theory III, A-'s in Violence in Politics and Social Psychology, and an A in flute, so all in all it wasn't a bad semester. Didn't make the Honor Roll, but I can keep my scholarships still so I can keep going to college. Good times. I'm so thankful that that semester is over, because the last several weeks (months) I was getting almost no sleep in between the RM project and all my other class work. It was not a fun time. No breakdowns, thankfully, but all of my friends group got very snappy and moody with each other, myself included. This semester is already looking much better, if only because there's no Research Methods.
Break consisted of staying in bed, reading, getting my Driver's License (!!! Finally, I know), and getting a new flute (!!!). Also catching up on shows like Community, Supernatural, and Hawaii 5-0. Holy shit, Supernatural! Can't wait for the last episodes! Spent holidays with my mom's family, getting to see my cousins and all my aunts and uncles, which is a big plus. We usually end up missing a couple each year, but it was one big party this year :). I do love them all, despite how much they may drive me crazy with their politics. It's what family is supposed to do, I know. Also got to see several high school friends, including my four best friends and some of my UU family. I know I love NC and college, but I still miss all of them like crazy and find myself having conversations with them in my head. I can just hear what they'd say in some situations, it's crazy.
Also, I get to have a proud big sister moment, because one of said best friends came over and my brother ended up in her winter show! She's an actor/director and has a youth theater company in B-more, so when she mentioned that she had several parts open in this collection of Shakespeare scenes she was putting on, I was like, my brother's an actor, and he ended up filling all three roles, despite there being ten days between getting the script and going to performance and never having done Shakespeare before. She came up to my family after opening night and raved about him. I was so proud!
But anyway, drove down to school on Sunday with my three best school friends (We're the Fantastic Four. We're that dorkish). First day of classes happened yesterday, and while I'm not looking forward to Theory IV, I know it'll be interesting so I'm keeping positive. I'm pretty sure I'll end up dropping the Criminal Justice minor though :(. With a double major, I haven't been able to get enough classes out of the way to fit in those three other requirements. Wish me luck with the rest, though!
