I don't really know why you'd be here. I mean, I know I'm the single most interesting person, but don't you people have lives? Really, it's quite sad.

And I will be wearing honor cords on Sunday...
That, however, will not at all be based upon this semester. I was ecstatic to find that I got a C on my exegesis paper for Pauline Epistles--I do not believe it deserved a grade quite that good. I did not do several homework assignments or quizzes (max. 5pts a piece) for Advertising and turned in the final assignment several hours late. I turned in a paper for Geography three weeks late and after much prompting from my professor (note: I got an 89 on it, so should pull off a solid A in that class :-)). I turned in the final essay for COR 401 over a week late and not 100% in the form in which they wanted it. I am just plain not doing the final project for my Editing Basics class (this class cannot keep me from graduating in any way, shape, or form, and I almost dropped it several months ago--now wish I had).
In short, I am fairly confident now that I have completed everything that could keep me from getting my diploma on Sunday, which is all I care about at this point. Employers don't care about GPAs anyway and neither do I anymore. It's a beautiful place to be, my friends. :-D

Where are the last four years??
Yikes, I sign in to Blogger to make a simple little post and am greeted by a site I don't know how to navigate! I'm sure the changes are wonderful, but I don't know how to get anywhere anymore. ;-)
Anyway, the reason for this post is simply this...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! to two of my favorite people in the whole world! :-D

It's a girl thing
I don't like to make a complete fool out of myself in front of just anyone. This includes games and activities I don't know or am not confident doing. I have to be comfortable with the people with whom I'm doing it. It's a little better if I know I will never see the people again in my life, but it's worsened if I know that I will see them more but don't yet really know them. I have told myself time and time again that it's just sillyness and to get over it and just have fun and that they'll probably have an even better impression of me if I can allow myself to be a fool in front of them and don't let it get to me. Then I hear myself saying yet again that I'm just content to watch. I still do have fun, but probably not nearly as much and it has sometimes backfired and left friends thinking I will never actually participate in those activities when, in fact, I really want to. I have talked to several of my girl friends about this and they know exactly where I'm coming from and say they do the same thing, so I'm convinced it's a girl thing....opinions?
So I'm trying to change this, because it goes back extremely far and I'm getting rather sick of it. Robin, my best friend all through elementary school still sometimes brings up how she never understood why I would never play with Ian and her during recess in 5th and 6th grades when I had a crush on him, which was, for me, exactly the reason I didn't. A little over a year ago, I decided that, after 6 years, I was through with not doing a whole lot of extensive cave exploring at Maquoketa Caves and that this year would be different. Mission not quite accomplished as much as I'd have liked (due to there being 4 other people not as "into" it as I was, for various reasons), but still a success in my book compared to previous years. What really got me thinking about this, though, was playing tennis yesterday with Mandy and Tyler (Mandy's boyfriend, who I only kind of know). I hadn't played tennis in a very long time and was never very good at it anyway, but we had rackets and I had an itch. So Mandy and I made fools out of ourselves while Tyler showed off. My shoulder is sore and I still suck, but I had fun and know I was more fun to be around. :-)

I've figured out what to do after graduation.
I'm going to go to the University of Okoboji. I passed the entrance exam and now just need to make sure the finances are there. I'm really looking forward to it. :-D
