Meanwhile, it's nice to chill out at work and listen to Chrono Cross music. I've always liked the soundtrack, but I'm appreciating it much more now. I wonder if that's because of nostalgia or something?

Finally got a big project and a presentation done. It's so conflicting to have a kind-hearted professor who is just a mess when it comes to teaching. She's a good person! Just. Maybe needs to time manage a little better. And communicate with us. And return papers, please. We'd love to have returned papers. It's not cool to get a weird score and not know why.

Doodled SS!Zelda everywhere on my notes the other day. Her character design is so cute, sob. /)_(\

Okay, back to work.

It looks like I'll be able to do my internship early this year -- in fall instead of waiting 'til spring. That means I'll only have one class next semester, which gives me plenty of leeway to add on another class if it turns out I need another to graduate.

I'm very paranoid about this. I've fallen into the cracks of this university's system so many times I'm, like, on edge about another roadblock coming up. I've already gotten into a small panic over an upper division class that's supposed to count for general upper division credit, but isn't showing that way on the computer. I hope, hope, hope, hope it still counts (and my advisor said it would) but JUST IN CASE. Open schedule next semester. Gonna get it done, yes.

Been doing nothing but going back and playing Dissidia Duodecim again. I still haven't finished all of Cycle 13 yet, which is a shame for me. I just like to level everyone up to 30 before tackling the Impulse Shade chapters. (;A;) I also bought Prologus from the PSN store, which got me Aerith as an assist-only character. She's really useless, honestly, but oh well. My curiosity is satisfied. ...I also ended up buying some extra costumes for other characters. Four of them, I think.

Once again, Square-Enix gets the best of me. And my wallet. OTL

think of all the things we learned!

I don't know how it happened, but I PASSED MY STATS EXAM. Even one of the smartest students in the class only got a 63 and somehow I GOT A 70.

Okay, so about those Big Three problems. Even though I didn't know the answer, I filled out as much as I could (like what the values were and stuff). APPARENTLY THAT HELPS and it's totally better than getting no points at all. I'm glad I took a couple minutes to fill those out instead of stare at the problem blankly. LESSON LEARNED.

My overall grade still dropped, but at least not by much. If I do well with the project and get some extra points by visiting the professor to ask about Stats stuff, I should be able to pass. The project is primarily done by using SPSS and I'm pretty good with that program. I think I can do it. As for finding legit reasons to talk to the prof., I can probably go in once to discuss the recent exam and again to double-check the project. I have a pretty good attendance record too, so that'll be maybe seven more extra points. Should be enough for at least a C.

THIS HAS TO WORK. It WILL work. It will totally work and I'm stoked enough to MAKE IT WORK.

One more month before the semester is over. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for summer... maybe get a job? Travel? We'll see how things go.

this entire post is full of despair

I wonder if I should just stick to museboxes from now on. My RP energy is really off and on lately.

Also spent the past three days downloading/watching Zetsubou Sensei. My love for despair is too great, I tell you.

My university messed up with the amount of credits I still need. The few credits I got for going overseas transferred over as lower-division credit instead of upper-division. They accidentally listed it as upper-division, which made me think I needed to take only a couple more higher level courses. Then, suddenly, I need at least another two semesters' worth of upper-division courses. I talked to someone and they said it was their mistake for listing it improperly... but that still means I need to take more classes. At least it was fixed before I tried to go ahead and walk, I guess.

They've also listed me as a 'pre-major' instead of a full major. I'm glad I have a good professor -- she says she can make them change it. Technically, I'm not supposed to be allowed to enter as a full major for the certification if I have more than 12 credits beforehand... I currently have 15. She's the head of the department, though, so I'm not worried too much.

Also, it's funny they call a certification a "full major". It feels like double-majoring, for sure, but they don't exactly give you credit for that... ah, well.





...at this rate, I'll be in school forever. Super-Super Senior status, here I come.
