Today I got some DVDs from my dad in the mail. They are old home videos from when I was little. I think it will help with my psychology paper. Hopefully. I'm not having a lot of luck finding research on attachment to romantic partners. I have thought about changing the topic to just attachment to my sister and how it has changed over the years. I don't know. I'm going to keep looking and write my paper around the research papers I can find. I think it'll be a fun paper though. Oh, and my professor canceled class on Monday! That's awesome, because that's when my grandparents are getting here. So I will have two hours of class in the morning and then lab from 2-3ish. Also good is that on Tuesday the NATS class is taking a midterm so I don't have to be there. Which means if I get my shifts covered then I will only have choir rehearsal in the evening. I'll be able to spend the rest of the day with grandma and grandpa.
Even though there's a month of school left, it feels like things are wrapping up. The RAs are talking about closing, my classes are getting close to finals, and I only have a couple labs left. Registration for fall quarter is next week. It was fun to think about my schedule in the context of driving home at the end of the day instead of just walking back to my dorm room. My schedule for next year is awesome if I get all the classes I want. Core classes are pretty hard to get into because the entire University has to take them. And the one I want "Memoirs of Madness" is pretty popular. The professor is awesome, and it's really interesting. It's about mental illness and you learn about it by reading the actual memoirs of mentally ill patients. I think it will be a good addition to my psychology minor. I tried to fill my schedule up with no breaks (except for lunch) because I won't be able to just go home for an hour in the middle of the day. Well, I guess I could but it would be kind of pointless. Daniel and I also tried to match up our schedules because we'll be carpooling to school and back. And I want to make sure I'm done in time to cook dinner for us. I'm so excited!!
I met with my new advisor yesterday and he was incredibly helpful. My old advisor left DU and lives in Europe now, so I had to get a new one. I told him about my major, minors, and plan to go to Nursing school. He told me things like which classes are hard and which quarter I will want to take a lighter schedule to focus on the harder biology and chemistry classes. And he knows which classes are offerred which quarters so I can work that all out. I sat down and filled in my 4 year plan with all of my major requirements, university requirements, both minor requirements, and nursing school prerequisites and I think I got it to all fit in four years. Actually, my senior year I'll only be taking 8-11 credits so I even have some space left. I'll probably use that extra space to do some undergraduate research with a professor. It will be a hard schedule my junior year though. A couple quarters I'm taking four science classes, and up to three labs. Yikes! But it's worth it. My advisor suggested that I may want to switch my major to biology because then a lot of my nursing school prereqs will count towards my major, but I really like chemistry. And he said that if I like chemistry, he thinks we can make it work. I really really hope I get all the classes I want next quarter. I'm excited to finally be in some upper level science classes and not with freshmen all the time.
Time for work! Daniel's dad and Evan are coming in less than two weeks!
