A Crazy Cat's Life

Both grad school and the community college are done for the summer. I finished up my forensic psych class with an A-. Yes, part of me is still upset that I didn't get the A but I'm a nerd. I'm all set with my schedule for the fall: Administration of Criminal Justice and Criminal Mind and Behavior. I'm really looking forward to that last class. The summer session ended up with two students in my office crying about their grades. They both got D's and needed a C to actually graduate. Me the softie allowed them to hand in work really late to get the C. I'm too damn nice. I get to enjoy the rest of August at a much more relaxed paced. I'll still be working at the library a few days here and there but I'll have a full two weeks off at the end of August, one of which will be spent lying on the beaches of Cape Cod. Now maybe I can work on cleaning the house... :P

In two days the summer semester will over and I can finally rest. These next two days are going to be easy. I give the finals tomorrow and on Thursday I just give out final grades if the students want them. I have to be here anyways and I've learned never to give a final on the very last day of the semester. We don't have a finals week here. You just give it on the last class, or as most of us do now, on the second to last class. I'm also settled in my new office. It took a while to get things organized. I showed up in my old office yesterday to find everything gone. Maintenance finally got around to moving my stuff. Unfortunately, they put all my stuff in the wrong spot. Also, as I was very impatient last night, I did not wait for IT to hook up my computer and did it myself. I'm trying my best to personalize my new cinderblock fluorescent hell with pictures and stuff. The Devils 2009 calendar is up and so is my favorite quote: Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi ...

Remember how earlier in the week I was complaining about losing my computer. Looks like I get to keep it. When the IT people came over to upgrade my "new" computer, I was told that I am supposed to move my computer with me. The IT guy even promised to yell at my dean for me. Yay! My computer is a PoS but I have it all specialized to the way I like it. It's also familiar to me which is the most important thing. Bear and I also finalized our vacation for next month. We're going to Cape Cod for a week, specifically south Dennis. Because we waited so long to make a decision, we could not get a house near the beach in our price range. This works out OK though because South Dennis is pretty centralized and in decent driving distance of pretty much everything. I just hope the weather is nice so I can get some serious time in at the beach. My depression is still giving me issues. My doctor is switching me off Lexapro and putting me back on to Zoloft, mainly because...
