Half a Semester and Not Many Changes

The last time I posted on this blog was at the beginning of the semester.  I talked about my classes and professors and vanilla pudding cups, but now I’m half-way through the semester and I feel as though not much has changed.

Have I mentioned that I’m on academic probation?

I didn’t do so well last semester, dropping my GPA into a less-than-favorable average.  This being the case, I haven’t been able to focus on much other than my academics this semester, so socially speaking, nothing happened.

I did apply for several jobs, though.  Only one place called me: Cold Stone Creamery.

To get called back by Cold Stone Creamery is no real accomplishment; if you sign an application, you get an interview no matter what.  The reason why is because Cold Stone doesn’t really “interview” applicants; they hold “auditions.”  These are group interviews where everyone who has applied has to do some crazy things in front of the manager and a few employees.  Singing, showing off a talent, and more singing.  As corny as it sounds, it was actually a lot of fun, and being a local college student with no obligations other than homework, I felt that I had a pretty good chance of getting the job.

Maybe I was wrong; the interview was two weeks ago, and I haven’t been called or notified by Cold Stone at all.  I called in during their hours of operation and no one answered the phone, so I left a voice message, asking them to call me back.  That hasn’t happened yet, either.  I think it’s safe to say that I didn’t get the job.

I desperately need a job.  I’m tired of using my parents’ money, and they feel the same way.  I need my own money for books and food and gas.  Damn this flimsy job market.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Last time, I mentioned that I hadn’t been to my Japanese 101 class yet.  Well, after half a semester, I can say that Japanese is my favorite class.  The professor is a sweet Japanese woman with an adorable personality.  The class is challenging, but it’s also really fun.  So far, I’ve got an A or maybe an A+ in that class, so I don’t have to worry too much about it.  I just need to continue doing what I’ve been doing.

I’m taking a college composition class as well, which is what I worry most about.  I hate this class.  The subject matter is BORING, and the professor is a young woman with a really bad attitude.  I can’t stand her.  She shouldn’t even be a college professor, she’d do better as a high school teacher.  She rarely ever knows what she’s talking about, she doesn’t know what true writing is, and she’s incredibly biased against men.

It makes me so angry, I can barely think straight.

Wow, this post really sucks.  I apologize to anyone who was expecting something interesting, I guess I just have a lot on my mind.

But it’s Monday, the start of a new week.  Next week is Spring Break for me, so at least I have something to look forward to.

Oh, I almost forgot!  Today’s Monday, which means a new hour of Restart from Checkpoint, an internet radio broadcast on WRUR: the Sting, hosted by my friend Nathaniel.  On his show, he devotes an entire hour to the music of video games.  He’s very knowledgeable about everything he plays, and the music is pretty awesome.  His show is from 8:00 to 9:00 PM, check it out!

Just click the “Listen in your browser” link on the right of the page at around 8:00 PM to have a listen.

But anyway, I should get going; I have a paper to work on for my bitchy teacher and her bullshit class.  So until next time, fuck you, I’m trying to save the world.
