more college stuff

[edenfalling]

1. I finished this week's reading and quizzes for Child Psych. I have not yet posted in the discussion forum, nor have I started the essay questions; those are for the next couple-three days.

2. My copy of the English textbook arrived today! (The bookstore manager emailed me Wednesday morning to apologize and say he was shipping it to me.) Anyway, I'd found the first assigned story online through slightly nefarious googling, but now I have the surrounding commentary as well, plus all the other stories (and poems and plays?) that we'll be reading in the course. I made my initial post in the discussion forum, but have not yet responded to anyone else's posts, nor have I started the essay response to the second assigned story. I did read the story, though, so that's a start.

3. Apparently I made the Dean's list for the spring semester. I mean, it's not like it was hard? But yay, I guess.

And now I think I will go to bed, because I am wicked tired and would like to seem coherent and professional tomorrow since there might or might not be some kind of interview toward maybe me taking over Miss Cactus's job (4 days a week) and getting a new hire to take my job (3 days a week) instead of hiring a new person into the 4-day position.

It was hard work. Go you.

I hope the interview happens and that you get the job!

I also hope that the stuff in the English textbook is interesting and that the instructor doesn’t have any irritating hobby horses about particular interpretations.

Thanks! :)

Me too! *crosses fingers*

Most of the stories seem interesting, but I don't know the instructor yet. One purpose of the first essay and discussion threads is to figure out what she's looking for, so I can tailor subsequent writing to her tastes and expectations. *wry*

Sounds like you've had a good if busy week (yay for finally getting your textbook and making the Dean's list) and I hope you do get that job!

I got my latest paycheck today, and I have earned literally double what I usually make in a two-week pay period, what with the extra 19 hours and the overtime. And then college on top of that!

I am looking forward to my vacation next week SO MUCH. *flops exhaustedly*
