brokenrecordugh NBC just needs to renew Chuck already. I went from on Saturday hearing that the decision may be delayed a week to Sunday hearing from Nikki Finke that it had been renewed to today that they would make their decision by May 19th. This is not ok! I'm stressed out enough as it is by finals and all the stuff I have to do; I don't need to be stressed out about this too! They better renew it after all this. gr.
One of the things I had to do for this week was the final lab for stats due today. So I spent like... I don't know, 4 hours on Friday and 2 hours on Saturday on it in all. I get to class today, and the professor is like "Everyone who's on time and has their lab finished can get extra credit!" On the one hand, whee, extra credit! That's definitely better than her grading the lab and it possibly lowering my grade. On the other hand, WHAT THE HELL I SPENT AT LEAST 6 HOURS ON THIS THING. I guess I'm mostly good with this, but I feel bad for the people who were late to class and/or hadn't fully finished it (because usually labs aren't due until 4 PM and class ends at 3:20, so a lot of people finish it during class and then after class). We finally got our last exams back and I got a 91 on it, which was better than I was expecting. I have absolutely no idea how I'm doing in this class at this point. I think I should get at least an A-, but who knows.
On the plus side, the professor came up to me and was like "I just wanted to let you know that if you apply for any internships or jobs or anything where you need a letter of recommendation, I would be happy to give you one. And I can give you my personal e-mail since I won't be teaching here next year in case you need to contact me." That was really nice of her. I don't know if I mentioned it, but like a month ago I was totally thinking "Ok, I don't have anything I need a letter of rec for right now, but I feel like I should ask her for one just because I know she would write me a really wonderful one." I probably could have used one if I had gone for an internship this summer like I should have, but my summer plans got all screwed up because originally I was going to do the double major and I needed to take classes over the summer but then I changed my mind and now I have no plans.
I also might have a backup place to live next year? When I was working on the stats lab on Friday with Li, I was talking about how I still don't have a place yet, and she's living with 3 people I don't know in... a house, I think? I don't know, she calls it an apartment, but it's 3 floors and there's a basement, so I'm thinking house? Anyways, she was saying that her room is absolutely huge and she'd be totally fine with sharing it with me. I'd much rather have my own apartment (and definitely my own room), but it's definitely an option if I can't find a place when my parents come. It's super close to campus, which is nice (and definitely an improvement on the other apartment I looked at back in April), and the rent will definitely be much cheaper. There's also an 80% chance that she won't even be living there next semester, though, because she really wants to take a semester/year off, so she's trying to work all that out and decide what she's doing next year. There's a chance that she'll go abroad in the fall and then they would definitely need to find someone to live there anyways. I don't know. We'll see what happens, I guess. For once it's something that I don't really need to stress out about or deal with; she's going to tell me what the landlord says and what she decides and all that.
Anyways, right now I think I need to just focus on studying like crazy or my Research in Psych final which is tomorrow from 4:30 to 6:00. (Although I'm totally taking a break for the new episodes of How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory tonight. And possibly also House, because I'm kind of really excited about this episode based on the previews.)
