It's been eons
hello all. . .it's been eons since i've updated my xanga. . .i know i know. . .
it's just that i've been crazily busy lately and ever since facebook came to my school, life hasn't been the same. this semester is all about school for me. if my life had a marketing campaign for this semester, it would be based around school. this is primarily because last semester, my marketing campaign was all about being a super-duper ra, if you know what i mean. but anywho, this semester, i will be a super-duper ra and a 4.0 student.
i have an interesting mix of classes this semester. my first one is german pop culture. this class had me scared on the first day because in the catalog, it is titled german civilization. i though we would be learning about the kings of germany in the 1600s. thank god, we are not. instead, we are exploring current themes of german pop culture. it's kinda fun. next, we have cis. this is a stupid, required class about ms word, excel, powerpoint, and access. i would have tested out of it, but on the practice test, i didnt do so well on the access and excel sections. so, i am relegated to learning about how to rename folders in windows. its sooooo boring. after that, we have business german. this is a somewhat interesting class. but its harder than german pop culture because my professor means business. i can't bullshit my way through german grammar with her. nevertheless, it's still a good class because we are learning about what is neccessary to work in germany. after that, i have us history part two. this is the class that i failed last semester. i despise this class. however, i must say that my section is traditionally smaller than normal us history classes and there is some interesting biographies to read. we'll see how i do. my last class, if that what you want to call it, is macroeconomics. if any of you know sherwood bishop, you will know why i hesitate to call this a class. this guy is so crazy that he wears these shoes called z-coils that have this massive spring located under the heel. supposedly, they are good for you back. who knows. . .
anywho, as always, the red cross is keeping me mighty busy these days. i think that i may be doing soooo much travel this calendar year that i might have a good shot at making aadvantage gold status. i can't wait! i am flying to dc on 2/7 for the 5th annual measles global partners meeting. for spring break, im going to miami on 3/12 then on to dc for the red cross on 3/17 then back to san marvelous on 3/20. it's gonna be a cuh-razy week. red cross national convention is going to be in san francisco this year and i anticipate spending a good 10-14 days there since i will be attending sandy's graduation at berkeley (with three e's). its gonna be a blast.
well, that about wraps this entry up. i have to do a german resume or "lebenslauf" so i need to get on top of that. in addition, i have a meeting with jim, the director of res life at 8 so im not too excited about being up late.
