Right now I am still enduring my first day of co-op with Langsam Library. They were nice enough to put me on full time for the summer quarter. Now all I have to do is get my gpa back up to at least a 2.5 to remain eligable for another practice quarter. I am sad that my gpa is a 2.3 though. Basically, it sucks. I need to create a back up plan just in case I won't be able to stay in the program for the next quarter. Its bothers me because that was the main reason that I decided to attend the University of Cincinnati- because I heard that they have a well established co-op education program. There is nothing wrong with finding an alternative I must say. Maybe I can do an internship in the summer of 2003, which seems so far away from now. The word "internship" leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended, although is was truly obvious)! As for today, it went by kinda fast in the morning then it slowed down right around 1pm, when I took my lunch. I think that I still have a full belly, plus, I didn't have many assignments to do today since the Admin office is temporarliy in the conference room as they recarpet the actual office, so things probably won't pick up until Wednesday by my guess. I'm working with the business manager of the office, Becky, so I'll probably will be doing a lot of work with all of the catalog orders throughout the library, which is a lot of paperwork from what I know about it thus far. I'm looking forward to the challenge actually, because I get to learn some new stuff this summer.
My dream co-op job is to work for a record label in the promotions department or anything advertising and marketing related. That would be so cool.
Plus, I'm hoping to move in with some friends for the fall quarter nearby campus. Myself and three of my friends were considering rooming together which would be cool to me. My plan was to move out around/ during/ before my junior year anyways. Good opportunity- I really hope so! In the meantime I know that I need to throw out or give away a lot of my stuff. I have too much stuff actually.
As for the smaller things that are going on in my life right now, I did get my phone problem straightened out. I ended up all the way over in Florence, Kentucky to see if I could get my cell phone repaired, but I had to end up buying a new phone. Oh well, I learned my lesson! Don't drop any more phones, especially when there is water nearby! I got to see David on Wedesday Friday and Saturday, which is good news to mention. Oh yea, how can I forget my birthday! I placed a birthday countdown on my webpage!
Um, that's about it on the good side of things, I am still having arguments with my Mom and she is stressing me out especially when I mentioned to her that I would like to move out within the next few months. She can be so overprotective sometimes, it gets on my nerves to an extent. I definately have to tell her that I'm gonna move out by the time fall quarter classes begins. That conversation itself is gonna be hell in its own right. My goodness!
