I’m eating a wrap that consists of jalapenos. I’ve been cursing every bite of it because it’s so spicy. I’m on my last few bites and I just thought to myself, “You know…I could have just taken the jalapenos OUT.” I hate spicy food. The wrap had the word “southwest” in the title. I should have known. HATE IT.

I’ve been worried for a while now that I wasn’t going to pass my Western Civ class. I’ve been fighting with my TA and instructor for more points for the past week or so. Everyone, including my TA and instructor, told me that there wasn’t going to be a curve at the end of the semester, so I’ve been in panic mode ever since I noticed that my final grade was going to end up 2 points shy of a D. However, after worrying and praying a LOT, my instructor has announced that instead of curving she is going to widen the range of total points it takes to fall into the C grade (which is technically the same as curving). That means that not only have I passed, but I’ve made a C without extra credit. Not a D. Not a C-. But a C. I don’t think that I deserve that, but hey! I’m surely not going to complain! LOVE IT!

I’m moving in a week. I’m super excited! Although it adds a lot of stress onto my studying for finals, but hey. I’m still super excited about moving into my own place. It’s going to be a really nice apartment. The guy that lived in my apartment before me has been there for several years and the apartment complex has done a lot of upgrading to their apartments since then. So they have to go into my apartment, replace the carpet, rip up the linoleum and replace it with tile, resurface the counters and the bath tub, repaint the walls and the cabinets, replace all of the light fixtures and switches, replace all of the cabinet handles and door knobs, and THEN I can move in. It’s going to be like living in a brand new apartment. LOVE IT!

I’m really going to miss living with Emily and Melanie. Especially Emily because we’ve lived together for so long. I won’t be able to just walk into their bedrooms, do a random dance move, and then walk out. I won’t be able to hear Emily singing one-liner songs and blowing her nose anymore. I’m going to miss that. Hate it.

I’m eating a banana now and it makes my mouth burn less. Nuts in ya face jalapenos! LOVE IT!

I’m really going to miss my African Politics class. I’ve learned more in that class than any other I’ve taken since I’ve been in college. It’s interesting and engaging. LOVE IT! Now it’s over. HATE IT. I think I might ask my teacher for suggestions about books to read on African presidents and the histories of some of the countries. I wouldn’t mind doing some more reading on my own.

Congratulations goes out to the one, the only Cores Benick for graduating with top honors! Congrats also goes out to all my other friends that are graduating too! Good job guys! Love it! Proud of you!

I have a final exam in Religious Studies, a final exam in African Politics, and a final paper in Renaissance Drama and then I’m done. And then it’s nothing but Journalism courses for the next year. THANK. GOD. LOVE. IT.
