18 days . . .

. . . until my last semester as an undergrad! So, I have 18 days of nothing to do until I go back for the Spring semester at CSU Chico. This will be my most jam-packed semester ever, as far as my classes go. I just got my grades back for last Semester, and I'm happy to report I passed them all, though the C was disappointing. I got a 3.207 for the semester, bringing me to a 3.48 overall. Not as good as last springs 3.6, but still good for not trying hard at senior level classes. So, now all I have to do is pass all of this semesters courses, and I get my degree!

This Semester I am taking 6 three unit classes:

Education 302 - Access & Equity in Education

Geography 303 - Geography and World Affairs

Political Science 451B - Civil Rights/Civil Liberties

Plant and Soil Science 392 - World Food and Fiber Systems

Religious Studies 332 - World Religions & Global Issues

Social Science 495 - Capstone Semester for Social Science

Unfortunately, with classes not starting until January 26th, I got increasingly bored after I had finished with the craziness of moving and the Holidays. So, having all this time off, I had to find something to do. Being me, my first thought was to re-read my favorite books. I wanted ones I haven't read in a while. So, I started on the Harry Potter series. I read The Sorcerer's Stone in one day, then picked up The Chamber of Secrets. The second book is still good, but I find it very hard to get through. But this morning I read all but the last 35 pages. Next I will read The Prizoner of Azkaban which is a lot of fun with Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.

I'm hoping to get through the whole series before I go back. If all I did was read, I would be done in a week, but I'm trying to pace myself this time, lol. Oh, and I love this avatar I found on a friend's Myspace. Since I plan on teaching history, I find it ironic that my knowledge of Harry Potter far surpasses my knowledge of History. And that is kind of sad.

After I finish all seven Harry Potter books, and read through my new Tales of Beedle the Bard, I plan on moving on to the Twilight series. I haven't read all four in a row without time in between. And I haven't read any of them in over two months, so I think I could get all wrapped up in them again.

Tomorrow I go to Yuba City to have lunch with Tim's aunt, and she is always interesting, in a fun way. Hopefully I will start getting called in for teacher's aide jobs. I'm on-call, but I hope they call often.
