so close!!!

Registration for fall semester is only a couple of weeks away, which got me to start thinking about the classes I need to take. I made out a little plan for fall, and realized, this lay out is what I'm going to need to do until I graduate. First off, I need to take a computer graphic design class before/as I am applying for my BFA program. I will be taking an advanced photography class, an independent photography class (which will total the 18 credits I need for that.) I also have three more classes of advanced art to take, thus filling in those 9 credits and a spot per semester. Finally...I have decided to try to add a Psychology minor onto my degree. With taking a psych class this spring, I only need 11 more credits for that minor. well, I'll get 9 out of the way if I do a class per semester. But that also means that I will have to take a 5th class again somewhere (most likely winter) to keep on track for graduating in December. But overall, I am glad that I have this outline to work from. It means that I'm slowly running out of classes, meaning I'm slowly going to actually graduate!!!!!! It's a nice feeling.

Homeward bound...kinda?

So, our trip in florida was AMAZING!!! Everything went off without a hitch. Until tonight. Our flight was delayed due to a storm in New York. Our plane couldn't land up there to drop off its passengers, thus delaying its trip back to Florida and delaying us! We found a second flight that was leaving to Atlanta at the same time so we switched. it had gotten delayed for about the same thing until 9pm. At 9 ish, we hear over the intercom that the plane we were to use arrived safely but we couldn't board or leave because the pilots had hit their limit of flight hours and thus delayed us to 11pm departure. about 30 minutes ago, another voice came over the intercom saying that that flight is coming in but will be a tad late and we can begin boarding at midnight. woohoo!! they comped us $25/person on our next flight, and $10/person in food vouchers (that we couldn't use because the food vendors were all closed!!!!) This flight has been a nightmare. they won't comp us a hotel because it's weather related, and they won't comp us to business class because if they do it to us, they have to do it to everyone. blech....

...what's new?

I never seem to write on this darn thing outside of procrastinating writing papers! Hmmmm. I want a Mac. A Macbook Pro to be exact. The one I found at bestbuy.com is 15.5ish inches and all the good stuff that I can't remember, and it's in the $1600 range. To me, that doesn't seem all that bad compared to the first time I looked at a Pro and I had sticker shock from over $2000. I really really want that computer. Mine in all appropriateness....sucks. It's been overheating (thank you Toshiba!) and shutting down atleast twice a day. It's favorite time is when I'm in the middle of writing a paper and had been in the middle of an "ah-ha" moment and hadn't hit 'save'....yea, it's done that a few times. I still owe $900 from my camera, so I won't be able to purchase the computer yet, but mark my words, it will be mine by the end of the year. (Also take note, that it is February, which most likely means I'm going to ask for money around Christmas to give myself a buffer.) Alright, I think I'm done blogging for now. The rest is very pessimistic and I don't feel like reading about being down in the dumps. Peace!!! :)
