Finals and Vacation

I have my anthropology final tomorrow. So very excited. I'm hell of pissed because in order to study abroad I need to take a class called Communication Theory. Next semester they only offer ONE of these courses with only twenty spots available. This morning was my registration appointment, and not only was the class FULL, but it was closed. Meaning they were taking no more wait-listers.

Fortunately, this class is being held in two locations. The Turlock campus (the campus I always go to) and the Stockton campus. The way it works is the professor is at the Turlock campus, and it is being streamed live to the Stockton campus. Stockton can make comments, ask questions, whatever- just like they are in the Turlock campus. Very cool. The Stockton campus had a wait, but it was not closed yet. So, I signed up for the Stockton campus.

I am currently in the #1 position, so when someone drops (which they BETTER!), I get in. Unfortunately, this means I get to rush to Stockton once a week for this class. It is from 6-9 on Wednesdays. My class before that ends at 4pm, so I will pretty much have to rush to my car, and zoom to Stockton. Ugh ugh ugh. But I'll do it, because at this point I'm not going to not study abroad just because the CSU system SUCKS and is offering less and less classes as each semester goes by (thank you California for having no money to put toward education. Obviously we can see where our priorities are).

On Friday I'm flying to Oregon to see my grandpa. I was excited, until I learned - from weather.com - that they are probably going to be having the worst of the winter weather while I am there. Greaaaat. Hello snow, rain, lots of wind, and COLD. I love the cold, and I love snow-- I even like the wind, and the sound of it, while I get to sit next to the fire and read a good book. But I don't like the idea of traveling in an airplane through it. And traveling, by rental car, for an hour and a half through it. I've never driven in the snow before. Will the rental car company give me chains, or will I have to go out and buy some?

I swear I am in a good mood. Really. I'm just in sarcastic complain-y mode right now. And mostly I'm studying, so it's not making things any better =).

Something really funny happened today, but I fear of writing about it in case my dad were to happen by my blog. Because obviously, this story includes him. And his upcoming birthday, which is in two days. And the present that I've frequented Circuit City way too many times to get him.

I'll write about it on Thursday after the gift giving. I would hate to ruin the surprise at this point.
