Yet more of my infrequent and pedantic updates

I might take to bullet pointing my posts to describe the oh so precarious nature that is my life.

Let's see, where am I? Well, first off, I found out that I am not going to be working 16 hours a week but more like 32-40 from Wednesday-Sunday starting next Friday. They're starting off slow with me at the park, working only 4 hours shifts my first weekend. Then, come two weeks from yesterday, it's ramping up to full speed.

This causes me to change my night of volunteering at the hospital from Friday to Tuesday for at least the next five months or so.

I decided to take some classes in which I am interested. It looks like both German and Russian won't go through, so I'll be taking for my summer course load the following:

Definitely:
Engineering Thermodynamics
Medical Terminology
Astronomy

Probably:
Calculus III
Greek and Roman Art

I'm trying to take a few options that will open me to jobs. All of the medical sort of jobs require you to have med. term, so this course will fill that option. Astronomy has just always been an interest of mine. I figure since I'll be here another year, I may as well go back and add the Classics and Spanish minors to my resume. I only need 4 courses for the classics minor (Greek or Latin II, two art history courses, and a philosophy course), and I wanted to take Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy next semester. I only need 1 course for the Spanish minor, and I'll have a LOT of time to catch up on that. My grammar and vocab is a little hazy.

I got top philosophy student for 2008-2009, and top Natural Science student for the year also.

I have no personal life, so no point in discussion of that.

Otherwise, my days are filled with cross stitching, desperately trying to get these 4 pieces done in the next two weeks (FAT ASS CHANCE!). I also am planning on spreading my wings to punch needle projects. We'll see how that goes...

This weekend is the last one I'll be working in the lab. Happy feelings are beginning to ebb over me.
