| What's Merlin? |

So, apparently there is this show called Merlin people at my work keep blathering on about and watch during their lunch break? One of the secretaries gave me a burnt copy of the first half of the season that she was given by another secretary..I may have to start watching it..
In all actuality, I've known about Merlin for a while, but have not been given the opportunity to watch it. Perhaps now I do :-)

So..I am finally moved into my complex in Nashville as of 2 days ago and I officially have the internet. I have a week until my internship starts so I am sure I will update between that time.

Let's hope that the following year is better than 2008, which had plenty more lows than highs.

Well, I just got in my last grade-for American Foreign Policy..In total:
Modern Political Thought ---- A
American Foreign Policy ---- A-
Interest Groups ---- B
Elementary Spanish II ---- B
Political Statistics ---- C
Not all too shabby if I do say so myself..just curious though..Since I've never really had a professor give me a + or - before and since my AFP professor insists on being 'different' I was wondering if it would interfer with the standard 4.0 that constitutes the 'A'?

Well, I've gotten almost all my grades in..I am still waiting for American Foreign Policy, though. But in total, I've gotten 1 A, 2 B's, and 1 C..I am hoping at least a B..I should know by tomorrow morning, though since that's when the grades are due, though not finalized until the 18th..
In other news, my sister finally graduated from the university after 5 long years; not only that, she graduated with cum laude which is hard to come by, especially during your last year in college. So we've had two celebrations-one yesterday and one that just ended. I think everyone had a good time and that's all that matters in my opinion. Although, please note..
NEVER drink 5-6 flutes of champagne..EVER..

I just wanted to say before I begin working on my 2 term papers...
Major KUDOS and WIN!points to the guy in the library watching Smallville out in the open this morning. I would have stayed (yes, to watch) but I was under a time constraint, although I am sure he knew that what he was watching peeked my interest, seeing as how I passed by him no more than 3 times..:-p

Well guys, I received an e-mail today from the internship coordinator/professor, and it looks as if I among 15 other applicants were chosen for the internship in Nashville. I am ecstatic, of course! My only concern remains to be focused on the classes I am taking right now, and the specifics of the internship process (how will it be paid? will financial aid be involved? What about housing?) But apparently all of that will be covered in a meeting on the 20th, so until then, I have to sign a couple forms and meet with my advisor to let him know I will not be taking the classes I initially signed up for the Spring 2009 semester. Let's hope all goes well! Because to be honest, this semester has not been going as well as I have hoped and I've been an emotional and nervous roller coaster for the past 2-3 weeks! I am hoping everything will pan out, though..because I cannot afford to lose my scholarship; even though not having a scholarship takes off a lot of stress..in my opinion, at least..but that is another story..

Well, I turned in my application for that internship..I told the coordinator of the internship that I only had one reference, since my second fell through and she gladly said she would be my reference, seeing as I have had her as a professor..
Well shall see..if things don't turn out this time around, that's fine. There is always next semester.

Why do I always seem to freeze up when I am given a fantastic opportunity to do something proactive? In this case, possibly being chosen for a Legislative internship in Nashville? I would have to sign up first, though..

"11/22"- Buddy |

So, I have finally dug out of the hole called 'college'...for a time..I just literally got my first break today from the end of the semester work that professors have been piling on us. I have to be honest and say that this semester has probably been the most challenging for me since I started college. For some reason I have been having issues buckling down and really absorbing all of the information all of my professors are giving me. Thankfully, most of mine are sympathetic with their classes, so that gives me some leeway. The only two classes I am 95% sure I will come out with a good grade would be Spanish and International Relations (which I have taken a great interest in). My Comparative Politics could be going better..I just turned in a research paper yesterday (having to do with the Sudanese Government and the involvement of other countries) thats around 8 1/2 pages long, the longest paper I have ever written and I enjoyed writing it every step of the way (even though my computer crashed almost 3/3 rds through it and I had to completely erase my hard drive..) I would really like to post it and get your guys opinions on it. I don't mind constructive criticism in the least..the only kind I hate is the blunt "This sucks" kind of comment. But in all seriousness I would love to know what you guys think of it even though I have already turned it in. I am mainly asking this because I would love to elaborate on what I have since first off, there was SO MUCH information included but there was no way I could have fit all of it into my paper; I actually went over the allotted page limit (7) and second, I would really like to enter it into some sort of internship, if possible and if that means tweaking quite a bit of it, then so be it.
On another note, I registered for my classes for next semester..I am finally entering the 3000 and 4000 level classes-scary! :-p..but in all actuality, I am a bit nervous about the fall and how I will do..
