The Friday Five


Finals are OVER!!!! All but one of my grades are in, and so far, all A's. I'm so happy, because I was quite nervous about one class, but I must have barely made it! 


My job schedule is in, and I will be working from 7:45am to 4:15pm. I'm so glad, because initially I thought I would be working from 5:45 to 2:15. Not too horrible, but it would have made life a tad difficult, with the bus system and all. 


I'm going to be living with my grandmum (and paying rent, not mooching) this summer, and I absolutely love her. She is so fun to be with and we share tastes on just about everything. She also has a Keurig. My excitement is palpable. I love coffee, and now I can get the little pods and have delicious flavored coffee in the mornings for $1 a cup instead of $4+. 


I found a ballet class in the city I will be living in! It only meets once a week, but is super affordable and will allow me to keep dancing. I still plan to get a gym membership, but this made me smile. 


I have been spending so much time with B this week. He is so amazingly sweet, we didn't get to spend enough time together this term, and won't be able to spend much time together this summer. I went over to his place last night, and we just curled up and talked about the future, the apartment we will share this fall. I will miss driving over to his place in the middle of the night when we live together, as bizarre as it sounds, and driving home early in the morning to get ready for class. I know it may sound strange, but it is a sort of happy ritual, one that will be greatly missed.

The Friday Five


I have been looking at storage for our soon-to-be apartment! That was the only downside, but I have always hated closets and preferred a clothing rack, and I will put my desk in the closet. 


I have the most terrible sore throat! I'm assuming it is from stress, but I'm tired of feeling crummy. 


I got rejected from my dream school. I found out while in class, stood up, and walked out. I texted B, and then I walked down to my current schools art gallery. He was waiting there for me, and I told him not to be sympathetic, because I didn't want to cry on campus. He got this look on his face, and that caused two tears, the only ones that I have cried. I'm numb and empty now. My dreams are dead, and I have failed.  



Finals are next week, and I will also find out whether or not I got the job next week. I'm dying of nerves.


I took two classes with one instructor this term, and I always wondered if he didn't like me. He just seemed somewhat annoyed whenever I said something in class, and whenever I would see him in the hall he would seemingly work to avoid me (and I wasn't trying to talk to him, usually I'm heading for my volunteer job and running a tad late, so all I can manage is a smile and a "Hi, Dr. ......") 
I turned in my final assignment, and he took me aside after class and told me that he really liked my work and would be willing to write a reference for me. It was the only bright spot of my week.
