Alive!

I haven't updated in FAR too long. I've been quite busy with school and all that.
I believe this time around I'm going to pass Calculus is a satisfactory fashion. I'm getting the B I need in computer science.
I currently have a D in physics and that's probably not going to improve, but as long as it doesn't get worse, I'll have what I need out of that class.
Other than that, life has been dull.
Black Friday is a required work day for all hastings employees.
I've never worked on a black friday, let alone in retail so I'm not quite sure what to expect. But everyone says to expect the most hellish day ever.

Decisions, Decisions

So, while, technically in spring semester's end I was weeded, I do have the option of retaking 121. I've decided that, while it will set me back a semester, I'm going to retake 121 and get my B.
If I end up having a large amount of extra time in the future when I just have cores to take care of, I can always pick up a minor (Or if it's really bad, another major)
Overall. I hope to get a better handle on things. Last semester I was seriously slacking off and I could have screwed myself for all of my future career; It's time to buckle down and get serious.

I've done some work outside of being a register monkey at Hastings, finally.
Worked music again, at closing this time. It was excellent. I really like working music. Then I spent a day where I was technically clocked in as a register monkey, but I was working in video all day, also quite fun.
Being at register is boring, but most of the other areas of the store are quite fun.

Work and Weeded

So, working at hastings hasn't been too bad.
I've been acting as a register monkey most of the time, however today I worked in "lifestyles" which is the music section.
It was fun.
Sure, for the most part I just zoned out and watched movies, but the customers I had to deal with weren't bad, and I got to feel cool holding the keys to the ipod case. (And game case while that guy was at lunch)


Aaaand now the bad news:
I didn't pass my final with the 84%, apparently.
My final grade in the class reads a C. I believe this means I've been screwed out of my CS major.. I'm not sure exactly but.. I'm still thinking about what this means I should do..

Summer "vacation" begins

Summer has officially started. Finals went.. Alright.
I couldn't actually tell you at the moment how well I did.
I'll find out in a couple of days once final grades are posted. The Chemistry depends on a couple of my "educated guesses" and the CS depends on some partial credit. I REALLY hope I got better than an 84% on the CS final or... I don't have a clue what I'm going to do..
That would be me officially under "weeded" status.

Hastings is being a bit retarded already, trying to have me scheduled for work before my availability starts, so I'm going to have to call them later today and inform them that, indeed, I cannot start until they day stated on my availability sheet.

In other news, my sleep schedule has been really screwed up lately. I can't seem to get myself to go to sleep before four AM. And then I wake up between 10 and noon.

Wage Slave Job, Get!

So, I've officially got my job at Hastings. I finished filling out paperwork on saturday, and should be starting work in around two weeks when I return from Spokane. The pay isn't grand, but given that I live in a state that I'm pretty sure has t he lowest minimum wage anywhere.. Meh. It'll be enough to pay the bills and at this point that is all I care about.

Finals this week!
Tomorrow: CS final. I need to get an 84% on the final to get a B in the class.
Hopefully I won't make any stupid mistakes, I'll be doing studying today.
If I don't get an 84... Honestly I don't know what I'd do. It'd mean I'd need to retake the class in order to continue in my major. Xx

Thursday: Chemistry final. I'll likely do a bit of studying on wednesday although, honestly, I'm not really worried about it.

Drug Tests Are Gross

Well, I passed the interview. I would even go so far as to describe it as "The Easiest Interview Ever." So today I had to get a ride to pullman so I could get a drug test done. I've done them before but it's still a rather gross concept.. pissing in a cup.
But I did it. The nurse chick was a little bitchy. I got there a little after three and was told they don't normally do drug tests after three. (I was told 5)
Once it goes through, however, I should be getting my job at Hastings and can start work after next weekend. Thereafter I shall make with much reading of free books, etc.
And, you know, doing wage slave work.

Retaking Calculus

So, it's official, I'm taking a fail in calculus and retaking it in the fall. Hopefully next time around I'll get it better. One of my coworkers suggested taking math 144 which is a 1 credit course on trig stuff. He said it'd help quite a bit with all the stupid trig things that one has to do in calc. I'm going to consider it. If nothing else it'd be an easy 1 credit A for my gpa, which is going to need all the boosts it can get.

Other than that, my classes are registered and the fall shouldn't be bad.
I'm retaking calc, Taking a CS class, physics, and Creative Writing: Fiction.

I have a job interview at hasting later today. Hopefully I'll get the job. Income would be a nice thing to have. That whole "paying rent" and "being able to eat" thing..
