So, I've registered for next semester's classes. It didn't give me the thrill that it usually does, considering I'm having such a poor semester, but whatever.

The Schedule:

M,W:
0900-0950: PHI 102 - Industry, Society, and Justice
1000-1115: ENG 234 - American Literature 1920-1945
1400-1450: MAT 120 - Finite Mathematics
1500-1615: ENG 245 - Semantics

T:
1000-1050: MAT 120 - Finite Mathematics
1100-1215: PHI 104 - Ideal of Democracy

R:
1100-1215: PHI 104 - Ideal of Democracy
1400-1450: MAT 120 - Finite Mathematics

F:
0900-0950: PHI 102 - Industry, Society, and Justice
1400-1450: MAT 120 - Finite Mathematics

Yes, I'm an idiot for trying to take Finite Mathematics again, considering I dropped it after three class periods this semester. The professor hasn't been assigned to that class yet, though, so I'm hoping I'll get someone other than who I had this semester. We'll see. The point is, I need the Gen. Ed. math credit, and I really don't want to have to take calculus to get it.

I'm not so excited about my major courses for next semester. I'm sure the literature class will be interesting at some points and hellishly tedious at others, and no one in their right mind should have a love of semantics, in my opinion. But maybe that's just me.

I am incredibly excited about my other Gen. Ed.s -- Ideal of Democracy? H'yeah. I will peown that class so hard. Industry, Society, and Justice will be a bit challenging for me, just because I've never really gotten to know the governmental system of the U.S. on an intimate level... I'm still no good with checks and balances, et cetera. But it promises to be interesting, at least.

Dad's taking me out tonight (finally) for my extremely belated birthday dinner. We're going to get Thai... which I love immensely and am too poor to purchase on even an occasional basis. I'll be able to hand over my sliced credit card and talk to him about this semester and what I'm doing to salvage it. Admittedly, I'm working at a decent rate in some classes to catch up; in others, I've abandoned what little hope I had. My dramatic lit teacher has already made it clear that she isn't willing to work with me and that I will suffer the full consequences of missing more than four class periods -- ie, I will fail the class whether I like it or not, even if I ace the rest of the assignments and the tests this semester. So, there's that. I'll try not to piss Dad off too much, since I also need him to take me to Best Buy and Jewel, for a phone card and booze respectively.

The past couple weeks have been a blur, and this weekend promises to be no different. I semi-successfullly split my time between several people last weekend. I got to see Kiri on Friday and Saturday, and that went well. I got to see Erik for such short periods of time on Friday and Saturday that I think he must have forgotten that he saw me at all (as evidenced by my absence from his most recent weekend-related blog post -- tear!). Alyssa I didn't get to see at all despite making plans with her, but I assume she had more important ones. Not so surprising.

This weekend, Chrissy is coming back in town. I hope I'll get to see her on Friday, but depending on how things go for her with someone else, I might not get to. I plan to spend most of the weekend with her and her cousins and have therefore cancelled or rescheduled most of my other plans. I haven't told Little Dude that I'll be completely busy all weekend, but I trust he'll find out when he tries to call me and I don't answer! Byah!
