Laura's Excellent Adventure at UP, Part 2: Grades, English Major Stuff, and Halloween

Despite my reluctance to go back to classes after Fall Break, my week wasn't too bad. I got my midterms back, and I got an A on Bib Trad and a B minus on psych. Also, I found out that I actually got a C on the ethics test I thought I got an F on, thanks to my professor throwing out some questions and my misreading the grade. Okay, so maybe a C isn't great, but it's not the end of the world. Unlike last year, I'm not worried about failing any of my classes. Speaking of classes, I decided to take my psych class pass/no pass as opposed to getting a letter grade. Although I'm doing well in the class, I don't need the class since I'm not a psych major and I didn't see the need to worry about a letter grade. Plus it may even help with my GPA as I want to go abroad.

Another exciting event was that I not only met with Herman to plan my courses for next semester (more on that in a few weeks, as I don't register until 11/15 Sun night), but that I got my English major form back. This means that the College of Arts and Sciences and the Registrar's office recognize me as an English major. I had a great session Wed, and unlike last year where I only spent 5 (or fewer) minutes with my psych advisor, I spent 20 minutes with Herman. He gave me candy in honor of Halloween, but most importantly he told me that I give him hope (this deserves a seperate entry which I will post at the end of November!).

Tonight was Halloween, and despite my inability to find a Mulan costume as I had hoped, I was still able to dress up. Thanks to the birthday tiara MacK gave me and one of Megan's prom dresses, I dressed up as a princess. I also handed out candy to kids who trick or treat in our building, who were extremely cute. Aside from giving out candy to the kids, I didn't do too much as I've had a headache since last night.
