Final grades and other things.

Okay, so today I got asked out again. And I think my head's been screwed on backwards, 'cause I kinda said yes. Why, you may wonder, do I bother to set myself up for failure and disappointment, particularly because I seem to be a cold, heartless machine without the capability for emotional attraction or even the barest hint of any kind of romance? Well... go ahead and wonder, 'cause I sure do, too. Perhaps I'm still clinging to some vague, pathetic hope that someday I'll be normal. Really, I don't want to be the way I am. I just can't really help it. He's a nice guy and a good friend, but I'm the world's worst girlfriend. Really.

Anyway... in other news, I checked my final grades today. And received absolutely astonishing news in the form of a D in my math class. Before you freak out about such a low grade, you should know that this is astonishingly high for what I had expected to get. I was positive that I would fail it, and thereby spend another semester as a freshman. Instead, I passed and as of today, I'm a college sophomore. I have survived my first year! Can you possibly understand how wonderful that feels? No, a D isn't a great grade. But it is a passing one, and I survive to work hard another day. Wooohooo! In other grades, I received an A in Journalism, an A- in Spanish and a B- in English, which isn't bad considering that I only made it to class just over 50% of the time.

Other elations today include Journalism, because as of today, I've got a computer at the office with my name on it, not just your standard reporter-row computer. Ok, it hasn't actually got my name on it - yet - but it will. The only thing I lack now is a pirate name. Which I have been craving since the day I set foot in the Journal. Anyway. I covered city council tonight. It was long. And boring. But it gave me about a six-hundred word story, which isn't bad. I also took super-awesome photos of Manzanita being gutted and readied for demolition. They should show up online as well. Woot! Summer paper is up online as well, if anyone wants to go have a look. It's at suunews.com.

Anyway, that's all my news for today! More updates later.
Ta-ta!
