The End is Near

The end of the semester that is!! At the beginning of the weekend I made a list of everything I had to do/turn in/study for before the end of the semester, which is Thursday. The list consisted of only 8 things. I have accomplished 5 of them this weekend. What amazed me the most is that I finished writing a paper on Saturday that isn't due until Tuesday! I haven't gotten something done that far ahead of time in a very, very long time. I think I must have caught an antiprocrastination virus going around campus or something. Anyway, I have 3 things left to do, which all have to do with studying for the two tests I have on Thursday and it's only Sunday! I think I'm doing good :) Good luck on finals everyone!!

Grades

I found out today that I didn't fail my Industrial Psych test like I thought I had. Technically I did fail, but since our grade is based on the highest grade in the class, I didn't fail. I might just pull off a passing grade in this class after all.

I made a 27 out of 30 on my Human Resources test on Wednesday. Despite my terrible study habits this semester, I have actually been making pretty good grades. Amazing.

Summary

I haven't posted in about 3 weeks, so I'll summarize in bullet points.
  • My group made a 95 on our Mack Brown presentation. The class loved it.
  • I'm pretty sure I failed my second Industrial Psychology exam. As long as it doesn't keep me from getting into grad school I don't care.
  • I made a 46 out of 50 on my Motivation test. That was a pleasant surprise.
  • I went home for Easter. I got to see Neil and Daniel, among other people. I haven't seen either of them in over a year so I was happy.
  • I bought a digital camera to take to New Zealand with me. It's a 6 mp Sony Cyber-shot. I love it.
  • I got my passport and flight itinerary in the mail. I'll be spending 18 hours in flight getting to New Zealand.
  • Today I bought a $20 pair of Tweezerman tweezers. They are worth every penny! Just believe me.
  • Ellen is moving in with me on May 17, which is the day I will be going back to Cleveland to get ready for my trip.
  • There are only 3 weeks left in the semester and I have no finals. That is just wonderful!
  • I am leaving for New Zealand in 33 days.
