ferrumaeternumI. On Friday I became the owner of my first car – a 2008 gray Chevy Malibu! It doesn’t really feel like it, though, since my grandpa paid $9,000 for it and my mom put down $3,000. (My grandpa had promised each of his grandchildren their own car when they needed it, otherwise, I obviously wouldn’t have been spending my extra money on things like tattoo work, music, and clothes.) He got a great deal on it, since it was originally set at $18,000. Even though my name is on the title, I still have to share it with my sister, but I’ll mainly be driving it and I can now start collecting credit.
II. After applying to over a dozen places in the last month, I finally got a job. Marshalls called me for an interview only twenty minutes after I dropped the application off for the following day. I was glad to hear that the manager they talked to at T.J. Maxx put in a good word for me because I was instantly hired. I won’t be starting until June 1, so I’ll still have some time to relax. I will be working part time (yay!) doing customer service and returns, which I did a little last summer, and is a step up from a regular cashier. Marhshalls is also a TJX Company, so I’m looking very forward to the employee discount, and I’m hoping most of the polices are the same so I can just kind of pick up where I left off.
III. In the early hours of Monday morning, I finally finished the semester. I had moved out of the dorms on Wednesday and am now back with my mom and sister, trying to fit two rooms' worth of stuff into one. I really need to stop all my worrying because my grades are always much higher than I give myself credit for, but I have a feeling that will never change. I got an A in Norse Mythology, an A- in Renaissance to Modern Art History and Wisconsin Native American Studies, and a B in Anthropology. I also found out my Native American class covers two of my general education requirements, so that’s one less class I’ll have to take, despite only taking 12 credits this semester. This means I will only have two classes left if I keep taking 15 credits a semester and study abroad next summer. I don’t know if I should take 18 credits for two semesters, take classes over winter break or the following summer (if they even offer the ones I need then), or just go an extra semester.
Even though I freaked out about once again having one of the last days to sign up for next semester’s classes, I got everything I needed this time around. I’m taking:
ART 291: Intro to Print and Narrative Forms
ART 342: Intro to Figure Drawing
ARTHIST 101: Ancient and Medieval Art & Architecture
BIO SCI 104: Plants in Today’s World
CELTIC 103: First Semester Gaelic
I’m definitely looking forward to learning Gaelic, since my professor is the one who does the study abroad trip in summer. My grandmother also knows him from when she went to Ireland on the same trip with the university after my grandfather had passed away.
