It's 9am and I am at school waiting for 9:30 to roll around. I normally have class at 8am on Tuesdays, but the Prof cancelled class for today. I have to be in the studio at 9:30 to be videotaped for my Interviewing and Counseling class. Uck. I have to interview another classmate. And then that classmate will interview me. Then I have to study the videotape and write a paper on it for Thursday. I hate seeing myself on tape and I hate hearing my own voice, so I am not looking forward to it. Bet money that I get my hair cut and go on a diet after viewing!

It's gonna be a long day today. After my taping, I have Sociology class from 12 to 2. On my last test in this class, I got 103% correct! It was an essay test and I'm pretty good at bullshitting. Plus the prof likes me. He wrote on my test "You go girl!" with a smiley face. I felt like I was in grade school again... and I liked it.

Then from 4 to 8 I have my CPR renewal class. I have to take this every year for the rest of my life. Boring. And long.

I got my German exam back yesterday with an A. Woohoo for me. But the best news of the week was for my Chemistry exam. I needed a 92% to push my grade up to an A, so I studyed my ass off... and got a 92%! Big Woohoo for me! Now I gotta keep it there! We just started Organic Chemistry which is completely new to me, so I think its gonna be harder than ever. This is my toughest class.

In German we have these projects coming up where we have to come up with an entertaining skit, in German of course, be videotaped, and then present it to the class. This sucks to begin with, but then I got stuck with the world's worst partner. Her name is Lydia and she is about as spineless and timid as they come. She couldn't even give me a straight answer on when she would be available to work on this thing. Everything I asked her, her reply was, "Uhhh... I don't know." Plus she doesn't know her German and has no clue on what is going on in the class. I have a feeling I know who is going to be doing most of the work on this one....

Brandon started hockey. Our arena was being remodeled so the first bunch of practices were held in Silver Bay. I'm sharing carpooling this year with two other hockey moms so that should help out a ton. His first game is Thursday, I think.

He also has conferences coming up. I wasn't gonna go because his grades are okay and there hasn't been any major issues. But the more I think about it, I think I will. I want to talk to his Band teacher... he has been missing his books for about 3 weeks now. His lessons didn't start when they were suppose to. And the "bad" players don't get to be in the concert! I have problems with all of this. I also want to talk to his science teacher and tell him what a great job he is doing... Brandon is totally excited about his class. And then the Math teacher... I heard there were weekly things for parents to sign, but Brandon has only given me one since the beginning of school. I wonder how conferences work now that he is in middle school and has numerous teachers.

The last Gopher game is this weekend. This season went so fast! Christmas will be here before we know it! I think Brandon and I will be going to Alabama to visit my parents again this Christmas. And we'll probably take a side trip to Walt Disney World like we did last year...except for a shorter amount of time. It's always hard for me to say no to WDW... it is the happiest place on earth, you know!

Gotta go to my taping. Auf Weidersehen!
