<-- And this is Dr. Berry:As you notice - he has food. He wrote a book on KY BBQ, which one of these days I really will buy. Hey, I'm a poor college student. He said something about drinking beer after class today, and I said something I had been thinking for awhile. Teachers always talk about how they used to go drinking with their professors (especially in the history department) but none of them do it now. So Dr. Berry invited us all to a drink. After class, me and three others met him at Hilligan's and it was pretty fun! We discussed classes, writings, and told him how awesome his class was in general. After he left, we hung out talking about literature, school and other such random things. Sadly, this was my first time there. Ah well. I'm all responsible and crap.
Southern Lit was my favorite class this semester, so it makes it harder to care about the rest of the week. However, I have my paper in that class to write (10 pages), and I already have all the research and have it read. I even have it outlined. And topic sentences. And everything. So, my goal tomorrow night is to write that. As a preview my title is: "Opposition to Tradition? Bridging History and Culture Differences in Gloria Naylor's Mama Day."
My Modern China class was pretty cool today. Five of us presented the outlines for our papers. My teacher seemed to like mine. She asked if we liked doing the presentations and we all said we liked the feedback. One girl said she wished we had done it last week so we had more time to work on it. Dr. Du asked us if we would like more time, since more time meant more work. We were afraid to answer and told her so. So she clarified with "No, no, I wouldn't give you more work! Just more time means you would work more on it." Ah. Then yes. Yes we would. And she extended it from Friday to Monday. Which is awesomeness. I have 1/16 pages, though I have all my research read and studied.
Phi Alpha Theta's banquet went wonderful. We had a hitch with the food, but it was fixed and peoples got free drinks. Plus my ex-vice president bought me a drink which was cool. Gotta love free alcohol. We surprised Dr. Sanderfer with flowers and chocolate to thank her for everything she had done. I also talked to Dr. Plummer, my major mentor in all things History. She's so awesome. I hung out with Rachel and Johnny, as I gave them a ride. Afterwards, Rachel, Anna and I went to Sweet Cici's and got some frozen yogurt. Friday we had the first annual baseball game, nthanging out more all semester. Ah, well.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I announced that I WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE STUDENT AFFAIRS GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that? I also have an interview tomorrow for a GA Position with the Alumni, and then an interview Thursday for another position with South Campus. Yep, it's a busy week.I hung out with my friend Morgan today and we had fun. I sometimes wish I had done more than my college career, or finished quicker, or whatever, but then I wouldn't have had the past two semesters, which have been amazing. And I may never have started my novel. Or met the people I have. So no matter regrets or wonders I may ever have, I am thankful for every decision that I have made because it's led me to this amazing future I am looking at. I graduate in less than two weeks. I have a party I'm looking forward to with friends. I have family coming down for the day. I'm getting a massage, I already got fifty dollars, and a frame for my diploma and who knows what else I may get (money, money, money!). This summer we are doing tons to the house, and I'm creating our gaming room to have friends over (as my house is just really tiny). I just can't wait. Oh, and I'm joining a gym with my sister. My hubby and I have started walking together, since with his new promotion (more money!) we are getting to spend more time together. Yep. Life is great.
