This week seems to be going surprisingly well so far.
Monday I received my Abnormal Psych exam back. I could have sworn I had failed given that I made up a majority of the answers and in fact did get almost the entire fill-in-the-blank section wrong. Yet, I managed a B and I'm not complaining. I don't even want to know how those questions were weighted, I'm just happy it worked in my favor.
Tuesday I presented my final project in Creative Anthropology. I examined stepping or African American stepdance. The presentation was supposed to be 20-30 minutes. I had initially planned to fill most of the time performing and teaching different step routines that demonstrated the creative aspects I would be talking about. But being sick I really did not feel like it and instead relied on the joys of youtube. I had only about 10 minutes of actual material but the questioning lasted about 25 minutes - they were super interested which surprised the heck out of me. I thought people wouldnt be able to relate and would find it boring but they thought it was fascinating, especially the professor. Yay me. The project is supposed to be in conjunction with a 12 page paper. I have 8 pages after doing the presentation and hope to finish it this weekend.
I also finished typing up my thesis/lit review. My advisor finally got back to me, didn't acknowledge receiving a rough draft so I have no idea how my paper is or if I went in the right direction but I refuse to start over so what I have will have to do. I sent a copy and that's that. Only problem I forsee is I am 6 pages short of the minimum 25 she imposed. Though , if she's the only one reading it, I don't see why she'd force me to right more if I can relay the same info in fewer pages.
Wednesday..today! Met up with Andrew my college counselor and academic advisor from high school. He's the same funny guy. It was nice to see him after 4 years. I was only supposed to stay for 1/2 an hour at the event and then go to class but I waited around to see Greg who was highly influential in getting me into both UWC and my current college. It was deifnitely worth sticking around. I met some other cool people and got job advice. There are a few independent schools in my area that might appreciate IB grads of color. woot! I'm definitely going to explore the opportunity.
Oh I was offered the Urban Literacy job today! I am excited and very happy to have it. Still, I really want the Anthro job so I'm going to accept this but keep my fingers crossed for the other one which I should find out about next week.
