I'll be home for Christmas..

I have that song in my head. Heard it a few times while working at Hallmark.

My first day back at Hallmark wasn't TOO bad. I met a lot of new people. Worked with AMK for four hours, but mostly she was in the back doing important assistant manager stuff. I work with her for 6 and a half lovely hours tomorrow, but for all but two and a half of those, other people will be there as well. But I have to CLOSE. With her. Ugh.

Well, I'm sure I'll get over it.

Oh yes, and I finally know all my grades. Here are the grades that I predicted that I would have in the middle of last week, along with my actual grades...

Shakespeare:
predicted:B
final: AB

Theories of Personality:
predicted: C
final: BC

Phil.:
predicted: AB
final: AB

Christ/culture:
predicted: A
final: A

Research Methods:
predicted: B
final: B

Which leaves me with a GPA of 3.28, and a cumulative of 2.9. The cumulative GPA is slowly rising (it started off after last fall as about a 2.65). AND, UCBerkeley (where I want to go to grad school) only looks at the last two years of undergrad! So now I just have to keep improving.

So you'll notice that my theories of personality grade is higher than I thought it would be. I thought predicting a C was thinking positively. I had a C at midterm. Which means I must have done decently on the final exam... so I checked my final exam grade on blackboard, and I got an 85! By far the highest test grade that I got in that class (the class average was a 78.5). Considering how much I studied for that class and how frustrated I was getting, this is a nice payoff. But I am definately more than happy to be done with that class.

My Shakespeare grade also rose a little, which also means I did pretty well on the final exam, because on my last paper, the prof gave me a B, which gives me a total of two Bs and one AB on the papers.

So really, with the exception of the Research Methods final (which I do NOT want to think about. Ever.), I did pretty well. Yay for me!

Tomorrow, I start work at 3. And I work every day for the rest of the week... until Saturday, which is Christmas (and Hallmark is closed)!

Oh, I also have off New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and the day after that. I'm not quite sure what the manager thinks I'm planning on doing, but now I'm free to do anything. I want to go up to Milwaukee, but I'm not sure who's going to be there, and where I'm going to park, etc. We'll see.

I also don't work very often after New Year's. Ah well. I'm racking up the hours now.

I have two presents bought so far, quite a few more to go... Ugh. I'm going to have to go Wednesday after work, because I get off at 6.

My mom just ordered me a pair of shoes on the internet. Yay! And she bought me a new watch (my old Roxy watch's battery died and she just told me to buy a new one, since I'd had that one for like 4 years). It's little and pretty and blue.

Well, I guess this is a long enough entry. I'm going to finish Emma (I've been reading furiously yesterday and today... I've only got about 10-12 pages left), then go to sleep.
