Wicked

I have decided that I really want to "Wicked." We talked a little bit about it in my American Humanities class, and I think it looks awesome! I also love the music! Now if I could just figure out a way to go see it. Tickets are way expensive too. There are performances at the Orange County and the San Diego Civic Centers, and the tickets are about a hundred bucks a piece, and higher. Oh well, I might have to wait for a while, but one day I'm going to see it!

This was another homework week for me, so there's not much to post. We had Audra's bridal shower on Wednesday, it went really well! She got lots of good stuff, and the food was awesome (of course I made all of the food so I am a little biased). We watched her wedding video, which I have seen before but it was still really good! We played traditional wedding games, and there were prizes...I actually won one of them! Overall, I would say it was a big success!

Also on Wednesday, I took my final for this history class that I am taking online. The grades are based on two areas a workbook, which is 25% of my grade, and the final, which is 75% of my grade. The workbook is pass or fail, no in between. So you can why I was a little nervous about how I was going to do in the class. I studied all week, non-stop, for the final (I had finished the workbook over spring break). The final was one hundred questions. I got every single one right, a 100%! I have never gotten a perfect score on a final exam before! The class average was only an 81%. If our teacher had graded on a curve I would have totally thrown it off! I am very curious to know if anyone else got the same grade that I did. If you cannot tell I am extremely happy about this grade!

On Thursday I had my group presentation. I was covering American Architecture since 1945...There is a lot of it! There were three people in my group, and I was the last to go. We had a set amount of time that we were supposed to present in, but we ended up going way over. The first girl did okay, she may have a been a little over...But not much if any. The second girl was the problem. She went WAY over! I'm talking like at least 20 minutes. My part of the presentation was the longest so I had the rush through it...We were still over by a ton. I hope that doesn't count too much against us! That's about all I did this week, other than going to classes, I mostly did a lot of homework. I managed to finish my Islam final and turn that in. I also watched "Top Gun" for the first time yesterday, it was good...But I probably won't watch it again.

This week is going to be very stressful for me. Monday I have only one class, which I am so happy about! I have to turn in a poetry book that I have been working on and a project that I finished yesterday. On Tuesday it is our "reading day" so that we can prepare for our exams. I plan on selling back my books that day, if can get there early enough maybe the lines won't be so bad. Then I am going to study for the only final I haven't finished yet, my American Humanities final. I love the fact that I managed to finish everything that I needed to get done for finals week, including doing some of my finals, a week early. Now I just have to focus on that one test!

On Wednesday I have a Power Fair for my religion class. This is going to be our final in a way. We basically show up to class and talk about what we've learned, turn in a report about the projects that we did, and basically hang out. Later that day, not until 6pm actually, I will take my American Humanities final in the testing center. Last semester I waited in a three hour line to take my finals in the testing center...They say it won't be like that this time...But we'll see. I get to go into a priority line if I go during a set time. I think that I might go over there early and see how long the lines are...If they aren't long then I will just go and get me test over with. After that I am done! All I have to do is start packing up my stuff and cleaning my apartment. I fly out of Salt Lake on Friday! Then I start my summer. I already have a job lined up and everything! This will be my last post of the semester...I will post again next Sunday when I am back in California! Take care everyone!
