this side of the blue

school starts next week!!!! which isn't even news, since school just ENDED 2 days ago. literally, 2 days ago.

but i must look to the bright side, which is... i should still be under 30 by the time i get my fucking degree.

in aaaany case. i dunno when i last wrote or what i said, but i'm trying to be good and write in here. it's hard to think of things to say - i find it's harder to think of what to write when i only write sporadically.

fall 2010 schedule!

-statistics
-educational psychology
-intro to special education
-intro to diversity for educators

3 out of 4 of those classes require 15 hours of volunteer work in a school of my choosing. i'm looking forward to that the most; i thoroughly enjoyed my observation last year. plus, i'm only taking ONE core class and three classes geared towards my major! this is what i have been waiting for.

i admit, i haven't been writing much lately. i'm kind of getting discouraged. i keep feeling like when i try to put efforts in towards finishing a zine, it's really not that good, and no one would really like it, so why should i go to all this trouble for it? maybe that's silly, and maybe that shouldn't be my thought process. but lately, it is.

and it doesn't help that i have piss-poor resources.

i HAVE been reading a lot, though. not just novels, but zines. yesterday i read a zine called Driving Blind by a girl named Erin. i loved it so much i wrote her a nice letter on the cutest stationary i possessed and shipped it off today. i do hope i hear back.

speaking of snail mail, last month i signed up for a Pen Pal service - like a proper one, where i fill out an App and list countries and preferences and supposedly, i'll receive a list of potential Pen Pal names + addresses as well as receive letters... but nothing yet. now i'm just wondering if the whole thing was a fucking scam.

so this is my last semester as an AA student. after this, i should be applying for the Bachelor's Program. i say "should be" because i'll actually be 1 credit short; i'm supposed to have 60 credits and i'll only have 59. the reason why is so fucking stupid it's not worth mentioning, but given that i have a really high GPA and also a great rack, i was kinda hoping i could go into the school and persuade them to let me apply for the program anyway and make up the credit next semester. since i'm not transferring to another University i don't see why this should be a problem. i think it would be pretty stupid to force me to take a whole semester off because of 1 stupid credit. but, stranger things have happened.
