final grades
sweet. apparently i kicked a little bit more ass than i was expecting:
i got a 99 on my image & sound final, and a B+ in the class.
i got a 96 on my media production modes final, and a B+ in the class.
in the not kicking so much ass:
i got a 79 on my german final and a B- in the class. i'm confused by a couple of her marks though... but even still, i did kinda flub on the exam.
i got an A on my honors final, no word yet on how i did overall, which can't be good.
anyway. that's all i've got. hope everyone else got satisfactory marks. and don't forget, it's up to you to determine what falls under the heading of "satisfactory".
Edit:
CFV 123: B+
CFV 124: B+
GER 201: C-
HNR 233: C
HNR 234: B-
German says C- and not B- like i was expecting.
i sent her an email immediately. i only hope it's not too late. aside from that, honors was a little better than i expected. i figured on Cs for both of them.
Cat Stevens is on NPR
They're interviewing him and right now he's playing Peace Train. That's 104.1 for all you non-geeks. You should all tune in right now.
I got an email from my Spanish professor asking us if anyone was going to Traverse City and could deliver a package for her. She gave us her cell phone number just in case we were.
So I'm finally done with exams. I still have a paper to write though, and pack, and find something I lost that is of great importance. After that I get to go home. I better get crackin'
Tyler Epps
I miss my cousin. I don't even remember the last time I saw him. It had to have been at his mother's funeral in 1999. We're really close in age so we were inseparable for the longest time. Mom says no one knows where he is anymore.
I used google to search his name and found a picture of him. It's from March. I'm going to cry. I never realized how much I missed him. He's all grown up with facial hair and everything... Apparently he was still really good at basketball. Hey, Tyler. Ty Ty. I miss you.
Just in case you google yourself: this is Rachel, your cousin. You should contact us or Mike or someone. What are you up to? How is everything?
I was way too excited then quickly depressed today.
I saw Emily (!) whom I missed dearly which made me excited.
I also saw, for probably the last time ever, Micah, Tim from my creative writing class, CG and everyone in my creative writing class. Then in French I will have to deal with seeing Marah for the last time. Ever.
Stupid semester abroad. You screw up all my goodbyes.
I am thinking of totally not doing this paper for marketing but I sort of have to. It's all of my grade. But he wrote 0 notes on the one I have to rewrite (except for "good" and "okay maybe") so I have nothing to improve.
Exam week has me stressed and excited and sad. I miss people already.
We wear our scarves just like a noose
So tomorrow we are going to Chicago so I can get my French visa.
Emily was going to come with us but she has to work on Saturday so she can't. Which makes me more depressed than you can ever know.
In other news, I received a letter telling me who my host family was. I emailed the last two students who had that family and they both said that was the best family in France. I am excited.
Things I hate:
My keyboard randomly changing to Dvorak. WTF, keyboard? I'm trying to write a paper at the last minute and you were fine TWO WORDS AGO. Seriously. Plus you are only using Dvorak in Word? And only on this sentence? WTF? Did I press the wrong keys or something? I closed Word and you better work when I open it back up or I'm taking you out.
Why I love Emily:
I have to or else I will have no friends in France :p
She's going to France
She introduced me to The Decemberists and my newest love Regina Spektor
She has a doppelganger
Regina Spektor
She is just the best person in the world
...uh...minus you guys?
She rocks, Emily does.
