( I love the craziness that goes on in our chats. )
There. Got that out of my system.
I'm going home tomorrow!! 8DDD Well, maybe tomorrow. Dad is apparently in Florida on business right now (it sucks that he's had to go on so many business trips lately, makes me mad at the government and other nameless entities that are causing all this trouble for his company, though I suppose it's not directly anyone's fault, except for that one company that tried to sue them over a stupid copyright issue and ended up losing anyway), and he's getting in the the Dayton airport at 10:30pm tomorrow night. Another bother for him, but it's much cheaper than the Cincinnati airport, which is monopolized by Delta, or so I hear. But he'll probably be picking me up on his way home. :D I'll hear from Mom tonight what the plan is. If I have to stay till Thursday, it won't be a big deal, but I'm so ready to go home.
The fact that I'm ready to go home makes me wonder if it's been a good year. And I've decided that it has. Much has happened. I took a Religion and Science class and finally stumbled upon something that made me question my religion a little bit. Which was not fun while it was happening, since I've always put so much of my identity in being Catholic, but overall I think/hope it was good for me. I think differently now. Must be all the science classes.
I got a lot of experience in interviewing. A lot. o_o I now have confidence in my ability to sufficiently impress any potential employer, given that my resume is good enough, which is what I'm working on now. Gotta keep doing these summer internships.
I learned that I actually can do calculus. :D After my traumatizing experience in Calc II last year, I had pretty much given up all hope at ever being able to understand what on God's green earth an integral actually is, but I've done much better this time around, both in Calc III and in Physics II. Really, if it weren't for Physics, I don't think I'd have passed Calc, since Physics took integrals and applied them to actual things, instead of just saying "Here, evaluate this."
I started on the website for the place where I work, and besides learning some l337 new coding tricks, I saw a little bit of what it's like to manage a place like a university and the sorts of policies that we need to have, and how to word a policy so that people will understand it correctly and get the right message from it. Still working on that one.
But what I've noticed the most is how many new people have come into my life over this past year. Usually, that's supposed to happen in the first year of college, isn't it? But I've always been late for these sorts of things, I guess. This past September was when Tempest first emailed me, and I met my future roommates who I've been getting along with beautifully, and I met all my awesome DU muns and finally became one myself. So, yes, it's been quite a good year.
And I've been given a lot to think about. Starting with that Religion and Science class. That's the starting point of everything; I didn't know what critical thinking meant until I took that course. It feels like I'm becoming more of a scientist with every thought that runs through my head, and for the life of me I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I guess it's all relative. As long as I keep it in perspective. Science can't explain everything that exists in this world. Logic, maybe, though it may be above human logic; not science.
I want to watch the Varon vs. Jounouchi duel, because Varon is cool and I don't think I ever watched that one in its entirety. But I also want to watch Onmyou Taisenki 42. >_> Decisions.
...I think OT will come first, since it's just one episode. Jounouchi and Varon shall be later this evening, if I need a break from studying and/or packing.
Wow, this is a long entry.
