Necesito escribir una nota pequena para mis padres. Te amo los dos mucho.

My mom skyped me last night and I was telling her about the courses that I wanted to take in the Fall because I sign up for classes today. She wasn't responding to my comments at all, so naturally I was like, "Mah?" Then, she chuckled to herself and was like "I'm really trying to surprise you right now," and I was like, "uhh, what?" A few minutes later up comes my mom and dad on their newly purchased webcam. You see, they have been able to see me on skype because I have a Webcam built into Rosa, my gorgeous Apple. I literally started crying right then and there. And I couldn't stop crying for a little while because it was the sweetest thing ever. My mom's like "are you crying? Now you know how we feel!" Don't worry though, they were just happy tears... Then, like 20 minutes later the doorbell rings and it was Joe-Bug and Dahveed. They came home to grab Joe's phone before going back to UNC Charlotte, so I got to talk to and see my broseph as well. Estoy muy contento y me gusta mas. Anyway, just wanted to let you both know how happy you made me... it really was the most perfect surprise. :)

Moving right along, I signed up for classes today and got everything I wanted. I'm pretty certain that this is the first time that has ever happened to me. Oh, the perks of being a senior. I'm going to have a tough fall semester, but spring should be a piece of cake, which is how I want my life pre-graduation to be. I've got my 3rd freaking Micro course, 2nd Macro, Economics of Population, African American Literature, and then I'm trying to take an online Political Science course on analyzing the Adversary System. It sounded cool and it satisfies my philosophical and moral reasoning and U.S. Diversity gen-ed requirement, so there. In the event that plan falls through, however, I snagged a seat in the Public Speaking class since that will satisfy my communication intensive requirement, and it will be a joke... I'll probably need one of those with my heavy load. I slaved over my schedule because now that I'm here I refuse to be in class as often as I used to be. So, I basically will have class on Tuesday and Thursday with one class on Monday and Wednesday from 4-515. Easy as pie, mate. There's no need to make my life more stressful than it already has to be and since I've adopted the British education system of never having class, I refused to be in class M-F. I'm happy.

Also, task master Mindy, I took care of all of the tasks that you wanted me to complete today after submitting my Shakespeare essay. My mom told me that if I didn't complete my tasks by the end of today she wouldn't speak to me. Oh by the way, I'm an idiot and thought that it was a 3000 word essay when it was really a 2000 word essay. Yay. Now I get 5 points knocked off since I'm over the limit. Super. I think it is still a pretty good essay, though, so hopefully it won't be too shabby of a grade. As long as it's over a 50 I'm golden since it's a pass/fail basis. C'est la vie.
