Blue Roses

Yay, my internet is back!!! It's been out since last night, which is amazingly frustrating.

I met with my advisor today. She's really nice, and everything is seemingly going to work out fine. My spring semester is basically going to be all electives next year, and my fall will be 13 hours of core classes (since I need to retake 375) and one elective. Then my grade for 375 is going to be averaged and that will be my final grade. She also told me to work with my TA to prepare for tests, because Kuehn will be no help. LOL It all seemed fine when we discussed it. She wants me to check in after we get our first test back to see how I did, and we'll see what happens from there. I could conceivably drop 376 if needed this semester and take it next year. I'm kinda resolving to NOT DO THAT, though. <.g> I don't want to take the easy way out. I'm going to fight for a C in this class if it kills me. But just rehashing last semester and talking worst case scenarios made me pretty damn sad and down, and I was in a bad way the whole walk home.

Then I checked my voice mail and had a call from mom telling me to check my e-mail. I didn't have internet, so I called her. She was with Sue, Josh's PT, and couldn't talk. But made sure to tell me that I should relax, have a bite to eat, and relfect on how lucky my February 1 was. I was like, "Lucky Why is it lucky? Did we get tickets?" She said, "Bye" and hung up. LOL Meanie. So I bounced around, with no one to talk to since I was alone with no internet, and then poor Aarti came home and I bounced around her a lot. <.g> But mom called back and told me....dad already paid for the tickets!! They are so ours. And they don't even go onsale until tomorrow morning! We don't know how good they are, although we paid the top price for them, but we're hoping that they're very good. We think they probably will be...when dad's gotten tickets from this guy before, they've been, like, front row. They're probably not going to be THAT good, but it gives us hope for fairly good ones. <.g> So that made me happy.

So now I'm doing a lot better, with nsync on TV and disco on MP3, and things will work out. So I have one really sucky grade on my transcript. I still have an amazing amount of experience that few people have at my age, and that's something a grad school would be lucky to have.
