Living the grown-up life

I am sitting here in the living room of my apartment watching "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". I moved into an apartment with Trevor (my partner), Kayla (Trevor's best friend), and Holly (Kayla's fiancee). I still feel like I'm hanging out at their place. This will change once I have a job. I had an interview today at 1:30 PM at Erbert's and Gerbert's in downtown St. Cloud, which is right by campus. I'm pretty confident that I got the job. The manager said that he has a few more interviews left and that I'll know by the middle of next week. He's hiring 6 new people, even though the location is fully staffed. He said they've been having some trouble with laziness and that he's bringing in 6 new people and then whoever works the hardest gets more hours and the people who don't work hard get the boot. I just have to wait for next week to find out.

Midterm Madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so crazy busy right now. I have so much to do but I'm having a hard time focusing. I won't get to sleep until Monday night, I'm pretty sure. I have 2 exams, 3 papers, and a crap ton of assignments to turn in intermittently before Monday at 8 AM. I needed to take a quick break from the paper I'm trying to write. I'm getting really frustrated because I've hit a wall with the paper. I'm supposed to be writing an analysis of the dialogue, acting, and camera in a scene of a film. I watched a movie today and went to start writing my paper. I have no thoughts. I don't know where to begin or even what scene to pick to write about. I just want to go into the bedroom and sleep. I can't even focus today. I'm getting really irritated. I think I'm going to take a smoke break, then come in and write an outline. I think if I can knock out an outline that I will be able to get started on my paper. The hardest part is the introduction. That's where I'm getting stuck. I'd skip it but my OCD won't let me not write the introduction first. I'm getting really agitated. Part of my just wants to do another assignment but Heidi, the director of the LGBT Resource Center, helped me make a list of what I need to do and then put it in order according to when it is due and I feel like if I deviate from that order I'll get in trouble. Ugh. I need sleep. Actually, I need midterms to be over and I need Spring Break to start...

Fall Semester 2010 Grades

So, with these updates i should probably give you my Fall 2010 grades. I would, but, I didn't get any. I am doing a medical withdrawal. My depression hit me really hard and it set me back many, many weeks. I am starting over this Spring and working hard to pull my grades up.

I came to the conclusion that I started the semester taking too many credits (16). Even after dropping a class at the beginning of the semester I was falling farther and farther behind. Plus, being so depressed that I couldn't fall asleep at night and would be up until 5 AM and then sleep until 4 PM usually made it very difficult to get to class on time.

From now on, I am going to do my best to take no more than 12 credits per semester. In order to graduate somewhat on time I will probably have to take summer courses but if that's what needs to happen, then that is what I will be doing.
