ms f's new summer thing #4

i promise, this is unrelated to vegan cooking, bikram yoga, or anything else that will help you find inner peace or harness your chi. serious.

new summer thing #4: online tests for credit
i just took the CLEP exams in humanities and interpreting and analyzing literature to gain course credits for work, and i was really nervous for 2 big reasons:
  1. the type a personality in me that rears its anal-retentive, anxiety ridden head only on occassion HATES taking tests. mostly because if i don't get what equates to an A, i'll feel like a failure. and i was afraid i was going to fail in a big way.
  2. i was really afraid i was going to oversleep. i needed to get up at 7:45 am this morning. my average wake up time this summer has been 11am.
luckily, i passed. giving me 12 college-level credits. woo! and when i finished, at 1pm, i had been up and active for over 5 hours, instead of sitting semi-conscious in my pjs on the couch watching daytime tv. i need to make a habit of this whole "getting out of the house" business.

my other big accomplishment of the past 36 hours? i've been constructing a KILLER web-world for my upcoming global history class. i feel like i've given birth to a baby genuis, because it's all i want to talk about, and i want to show it off to everyone in that obnoxious, maternal way. i will spare you for now, mainly because it isn't done yet, and when it is, it's gonna be awesome personified.

happy weekend!
