well sort of. Today I had my Spanish oral final, and my last discussion class for English. I passed the oral portion, though she talked mainly in English about her stay in Westchester, NY and how bizarre it was.
Then I had discussion class. She talked, we half dozed off or listened to the crazy drunk guy in the back of the class. Seriously he has been drunk every Friday since this semester started. Today he said "I once fell coming up the stairs, and the woke up 5 hours later on the bottom". I'll miss him.
The semester has wrapped up pretty nicely. It's bizarre because it has kind of come full circle. From beginning this journal before school starting, my fight for this room, my fights with Mike, to now the end of the school year, a permanent document of my college days on this journal, and now fights with Kay. I don't know if I have evolved this year, but I sure do feel like I've learned some valuable lessons.
My final exams don't start till Thursday and I only have three of them. English,psychology, and History. I(as far as my mother knows) have started "packing" my stuff,because she is coming on Sunday to pick up the majority of my things. Record Player, Vinyls, Clothes, Books. I'll clean my room first and then take pics of the place I have been staying in for this year.
It's kind of bittersweet that the year has ended. And just as the grades will be rolling in on how I performed in my classes this semester, I also must grade myself on how I performed here at school
Course in Meeting new people 101: A; I did do a lot of talking to people in my classes, sure it was normal small chit chat, but I usually just ignore people
How to spot them and Leave Em' 240: D+; I'm not doing a good job on choosing the right people to hang out with.
Leaving Comfort Zone 354; I give myself a B+, I forced myself out of this room, of course only to venture to places like the bookstore and coffee shop.
Boys 101; D- I failed this class last year, and repeated it this semester with only slightly higher results. Though I made no moves toward the boys I crushed on(does eye contact count) I did at least A ) go to movie club B) talk to S.African Boy C) managed not to completely embarrass myself.
Getting closer to being content with self 102; B+. Yeah I've bumps along the way, but I feel like with every bump I'm a little stronger.
Maybe I did underestimate this year. It was crazy, and drama filled, and I think I cried a lot. But I had a job, and I made a movie, and basically survived in a city all by myself for almost a week. That's got to be worth something. I managed to go to movie club, and talk to people in my class, I wasn't completely and utterly alone. I survived my sophomore year. And can look forward to Summer School and Organic Chemistry.
Time to pack. I'm going to miss this dorm. So sad it's being torn down.

Yeah, id say you have changed, from the time i started reading your blog.
personal Growth is great.
I wish you well my Friend, i know at whatever you do you will do it well.
On making new Friends i would grade you : A+
but who knows i could be biased lol
my god! Our Little Beckett is all grown up!
seriously, though, i guess i hadn't realized i'd been reading your blog since the start of the school year...it was a bit odd to realize that.
I think you got pretty good grades, overall (well, Boys - but I think i got an F in that one). You should be proud. and yeah - I think you should have an A+ for making new (internet) friends.
Congratulations!
