Magna Cum Laude

I got the letter today! It is official! I am going to graduate Magna Cum Laude from CSU-Monterey Bay.  :D I'm a wee bit miffed I'm so close to Summa (0.06 points), but whatever. LoL

Cum Laude = 3.5-3.74
Magna Cum Laude = 3.75-3.89
Summa Cum Laude = 3.9-4.0

They're doing an Honors Convocation on Saturday, April 26th. So that's when I'll get my honors cord I get to wear at graduation. :) Yay!

Capstone draft is due on April 2nd. April 2nd is quickly becoming too full of a day...I have ASAP from 11-12 and Academic Planning Committee meeting from 12-2pm. It's also the Grad Fair (caps/gowns/rings/pictures/info/etc) for most of the day. My capstone draft is due by 8pm. My Physics hw is due by 11:59pm. See? Full day.

Aquarium gala is next Sat, though! I'm SO excited for that. I'm seriously going to need the break after turning in the capstone draft. LoL Tori and her boyfriend Andy are coming up on Friday and I'm also taking them to the gala (got someone else's tickets). A few of us are getting together on Friday night. Tori and I are getting our hair done on Saturday and the dinner starts at 7:30 (we'll probably aim for like 7, need to be there early to nab good tables). Award ceremony (volunteer awards, one of the two people is my co-shift captain!!) starts at 7, but we'll probably skip that. I'm still slightly on the fence. I may have the others reserve spots and I'll go. I feel like I should since I feel like I should honor Sally since I've known her the entire time I've been at the aquarium and she's great.

Anyway, time for me to pass out asleep. I'm dead tired. Laters!

Happy Easter!

It's a beautiful day; I feel like I'm FINALLY getting better; I shall be eating excellent food soon; and it's Easter!! Life's pretty good right now. :)

My Physics teacher extended the last homework for ALL students. Wasn't that nice of him? So I immediately did all the problems and turned them in. LoL

Yesterday a bus's brakes failed and smashed into the aquarium. The aquarium is at the bottom of a hill and the bus smashed into the back wall of the main gift store and into the aquarium's logo they have on the wall on the outside. No one was hurt.

Today I booked our hotel at the Chicago Hilton for 6 nights with our arrival date August 5th! The lady who helped me book the room was really nice too. We were joking a lot and it was a pleasant experience.
I also bought my ticket to one of the keynote speakers (one of my favorite authors Tamora Pierce). So I'm all pre-planned or set-up for Terminus!!! I'm excited to be going to Chicago!

I also RSVP'd for the gala! Since I haven't been in a month, I haven't been able to RSVP at the aquarium so I called today to RSVP. I nabbed Jack's tickets so I'm bringing a friend and her boyfriend too. Should be lots of fun. :)

Well, today concludes my spring break. I go back to school tomorrow and have about 8 weeks left of school until I graduate May 17th!! Let's hope I did well on midterms. *cringes* After completing all of them, I didn't feel too good about any of them.

With that...I must be off, but I leave with this link of photos from Chris and I going out tidepooling.

Being ill does things to your brain...

So I forgot to turn in my Physics hw last Saturday. I blame it on being ill and our homework isn't due on Saturdays normally. We do our homework all on-line too. Anyway, I totally forgot with having ASAP on Wed (when Shae and I do our hw), having midterms on Thursday, and promptly getting ill. So I freaked out that I forgot to turn it in (I did it at ASAP!) and decided to e-mail my professor to see if I could turn it in anyway to check my answers and all that. I told Shae I forgot and she forgot too! So she also e-mailed our professor asking if she could turn hers in.

I get this e-mail this morning saying, "Bethany - did you mean to e-mail Dan Fernandez instead?" I had accidentally e-mailed my OTHER professor Dan Shapiro! I couldn't believe I did that! So I e-mailed him back apologizing and all that. Then I checked Shae's e-mail and she had ALSO e-mailed Dan S instead of Dan F! Seriously, what are the odds? LoL I blame it on the fact that I'm on POP and so I just typed in "Dan" and the first Dan to come up I hit okay for. :P *shakes head*

Chris and I went tidepooling today and I wore the wrong shoes for that too. Seriously, where's my brain? I know I'm on Spring Break, but even then...LoL I can't smell anything too. It's quite sad. :( Chris and I went to the Farmer's Market today and this lady goes, "smell these flowers!" I looked at her and said, "I can't smell anything. I have a cold." I tried anyway and went, "yup, can't smell anything." And she said, "Bummer. These smell of Spring." LoL

Gotta love being sick...

Colds

Well...I have a full-blown cold. Yay for me! I had my last midterm at 6pm on Thursday and I wasn't feeling well on Friday. I get up Saturday and I'm feeling like I might be getting a cold. I called out of the Aquarium on Sunday and slept the day away and watched LotR (7 hours!). Today...cold. Bleh. What a grand way to spend Spring Break! If I get anyone sick...SORRY!

Capstone, first draft, is due in 2.5 weeks! EEK! I should have a pretty good draft by then. I'm going to try and get it mostly done this week so I can get it off to Judy before the first official draft due date. I'm just amazed I only have 2 months left of classes and then I'm no longer an undergraduate college student. It's a nutty thought! Sometime the end of this month we find out honor rankings and all that. Should be fun.

Aquarium opened up the new and improved 2nd floor of the nearshore wing. I missed working it yesterday because I didn't go to the aquarium. Bummer. Maybe I can go tomorrow just to see it since Chris and I plan to go tidepooling and to the Farmer's to grab food before his class at 6pm. I just want to see it. It sounded cool in the plans and some people have seen it already and say it's pretty cool. We'll see!

With that...I'm off to watch more LotR and to crash.
