mind dump - finals and yogurtland

I got the job at Yogurtland!!

So I walked in today at 11am to fill out forms, and immediately I see a bunch of really pretty girls and ONE guy sitting at the tables and filling out the work forms. There are about 8-9 of us in all, and I just can't shake the feeling that I'm at a modeling agency or something. It was so ANTM. Short-shorts, long shiny hair, slender legs, pretty faces, lots of makeup, etc. Well, this is just my first impression and everyone probably dressed up, anyway, so we'll see how it goes. And everyone was so shy!! I was really the only one asking questions, etc. But it will be fun, I think, once we all start. And no one has any advantage over the other in terms of experience at Yogurtland--we're all new to the business. I find that refreshing because there tended to be some elitism ranking at Tommy Hilfiger depending on how long you had worked there.

Anyhoo, my summer is set! Can't wait.

As for finals...

ART HISTORY is my major stressor. With about 200+ slides (NOT 169 as I had previously assumed; I hadn't factored in like the pictures from thebooks and two more sections) to memorize, I have my work cut out for me. It's tedious making the notecards and writing/typing out review sheets or study sheets. It's honestly a lot of work. Don't get me wrong, really. I don't mind helping my friends out. But with so many slides to go over and only about a week before the finals, I'll be needing as much time as I can get with the notecards. I don't want people to blame me for their not doing well on the test, if I couldn't give them the notecards for a certain number of days.

For at least an A in the class, I NEED above a 93%. I'm currently sitting at 92 or 93--an A-. I already have an A- in Representational Drawing. I don't want another A- to bring down my GPA. That's why I'm going to crack down on myself.


Nutrition--I'm not really that worried because I'm pretty sure I have a 97 or 98% in the class. If I want an A+, I'll try really hard for the final by reading the entire book. However, if I only want an A, an A- should be fine.

Graphic Design--Just need to work on my portfolio and everything should be okay. Not a big deal.


Note: As of now, I'm only aware of a few close friends reading my blog. Think of this as my online diary/rant dump instead of a public open-mike session. My posts tend to be truly honest and I only write what I'm really feeling. I won't let anyone tell me to keep my feelings to myself. I understand if I'm cursing out somebody or just plain insulting someone--that's WAY out of line--but I believe that talking about my feelings is perfectly justifiable. If you don't like what I write, then don't read it. It's not like it's the end of the world; just my own humble opinion.

That's great that you got a job! Hopefully it'll work out better than at Tommy. :)

Sucks about the art history class. Why don't you tell them to make notecards themselves? At least then it'd help them with studying as well. I guess next time something like that happens maybe you can do that. It's not fair especially if they're going to blame you for their own shortcomings. :\

candice: thankfully nothing bad has happened yet, but i'm just afraid that it MIGHT, if their results aren't as good as they'd hoped.

diane: you're so lame -____- do it
