omg this episode nearly made me cry. I'm so not ready to grow up. I'm with Cappie. I mean, I have a year left, but I have to start applying for grad schools in the fall and actually make choices for my life, and ugh. Do not want. Although I don't exactly want to be in school forever, either. But at least I know I'm good at school and I know how to handle it and it's less intimidating than finding a job. ...but this show is not about me. Moving on!

I WAS NOT EXPECTING CALVIN FIXING EVERYTHING BEING PHASE 4, BUT THAT WAS AAAAAWESOME. Calvin being president of Omega Chi is going to be awesome. And there was that nice really small moment between Calvin and Heath! YES. I'm still desperately hoping they get back together (or not so much back together because they never were really that serious anyways, but... get together for real, I guess. Why did they stop dating, anyways? I totally forget despite rewatching the show just last fall. Perhaps that indicates that I need to rewatch it again? Except not really because I soooo do not have the time, and anyways, the thought of ending the rewatch on this episode is too depressing. :( I think I need to see next season to decide whether I can watch the entire series while rewatching, or stop at 3.10, after Casey and Cappie have gotten back together and are freaking adorable. Or maybe I should just stop in 3.09 when Evan and Cappie are still friends and then the episode ends with Casey and Cappie getting back together and everything is perfect.).

AND CAPPIE TRIED TO LAVALIER CASEY!!! I've been hoping for this since Cappie revealed that he had it back when Rusty wanted to lavalier Jordan. But aslfk;dj I can't take Cappie and Casey breaking up. When they started the show I thought for sure that the finale would end with them being together, but now I'm not as sure. =/ I just don't know if they can meet each other in the middle, you know? They're both too stubborn in what they want, and while I feel like Cappie's going to be the one to have to change (because I mean Casey's right; he cannot feasibly stay in college forever), I just don't know if it will happen soon enough for Casey. sigh. This show is supposed to make me happy! Goddamn drama. Although I suppose I feel more comfortable if they break up now that they'll end up together than the like... slow unraveling of their relationship. If they didn't break up now, I was afraid it would happen when they graduate (however long away that is; this show has gone an entire season covering just half a semester, so I think season 4 could reasonably be from spring break to graduation and then the show will be done. Especially since Ashley's going to New York and I don't imagine Evan will stick around CRU and Casey's going to Washington, and I'm really not that interested in Rusty, so there won't be much left on the show for me once they graduate, and I don't think most ABC Family shows go like... 5+ seasons anyways, so I'd be happy if the show ended there, basically. And I don't think it does that great in the ratings that they would keep renewing it past then. Anyways, tangent).

Also, omg why is this the finale already? I feel like the show just got back from hiatus! Although I suppose it did return like the week this semester started which was awhile ago. Last year I think it returned later, though, because I remember I didn't watch the finale until I got back from driving from St. Paul to CA once the semester ended (although I think it might have aired during finals week but I didn't have time to watch it, so it got pushed way back. Anyways, not really that important). And I think I remember the wait between seasons last year was ridiculously short (like, shorter than the hiatus between the first and second half of season 2). Whatever, I need more Greek now! Despite it making me sad about Casey and Cappie even though it normally makes me happy, I still love it and think it's one of the best shows on TV right now.

So I was catching up on Brothers and Sisters, and the guy who played Alec last season (he also showed up in 4.15, which is how I realized this), the guy who Kitty almost cheated on Robert with (or did? I don't remember. They kissed, right? Does anyone on my flist even watch this show anymore?) was totally one of the leads in this play I saw with my parents over spring break at South Coast Rep in Costa Mesa. In his bio thing in the program it said he had guested on Brothers and Sisters but I didn't realize it was him until I saw 4.15 and it was like "WAIT A SECOND I SAW HIM IN REAL LIFE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO!" (He was very good in the play, btw.) I love when people on shows I've seen are in plays there. It happens pretty frequently, actually, since Costa Mesa is pretty close to L.A.

Fringe is coming back tomorrow! I'm so excited. The last episode was amazing. During the time when I got super behind on TV and wasn't watching like anything but Chuck and Greek and HIMYM and TBBT and wasn't really looking forward to any new episodes, I was super anxious for Fringe to return because omg the last episode was AMAZING and obviously ended on... kind of a cliffhanger? Not like... really a cliffhanger, but it left me wanting to know what would happen next, I guess. Anyways, it's coming back! And Glee is also only a few weeks away, right? I've been missing it recently. I have the urge to do a rewatch, but I have plenty of schoolwork and still a lot of TV to catch up on and I'm still trying to watch a lot of movies and I haven't read anything for fun in over a week and I want to try to start reading more again, so... I don't really need more things to add to my list of things to do. I have definitely caught up a bunch on TV, though. I now only have like 15 episodes to catch up on (down from 40-something from last week). Of course, the stuff I have left I'm not as eager to watch. But I'll get to it at some point.

I don't think I mentioned last time this happened, but, well... right before spring break my German professor was talking about how some of us are really struggling with basic stuff and then others of us are having no problems at all, and so some of us will give German up after this semester (because that fills the language requirement) but we should keep trying and stuff and considering majoring in German, and then he turned to me and is like "Well, you're a senior, so you couldn't," and I was like "Well, a junior, but yeah, I still couldn't" and he was like "Oh, the computer said you were a senior," and I was like "Well with credits, yes, but I'm sticking around for a 4th year still" and basically it indicated to me that he had checked what year I was to see if I could major in German. So that was before spring break, and then today he was asking someone else what their major was and then he asked me because he said he always forgets and I told him and he's like "And you're a senior" and I was like "No, in credits I am, but I still have a year left" and he was like "Well you could minor in German! You should meet with me about that."

Anyways, this is all just a very long story to get to the point that I find it kind of amusing and kind of weird that I've had people in the German department tell me I should major in German (one of my other professors has also mentioned this to me in the past) and (another short-ish story) the other day I ran into a professor I had for 2 math classes who always really liked me and said I should major in math, and he was asking me what I was doing this semester and I told him no math classes and he was like "You can't squander your math potential away!" and I've had another professor in the math department tell me I should major in math, and so basically for 2 subjects I'm not majoring or minoring in I've had multiple people tell me I should be, but for psychology I've never had a professor try to encourage me to major in it. Which I find kind of funny, but also kind of... disappointing? Or something? I don't know. I mean, I guess I did have that super nice e-mail from my cognitive psych professor over winter break about how great my final was and how I should talk to him about letters of rec or grad school and all that, so that's kind of the same. And I have been officially a psych major since fall of sophomore year, and a lot of the classes I've taken that I've done well in are classes you only take if you're going to major in psych, so... maybe no one has felt a need to encourage me to major in psych? idk. But no wonder I've continually been all conflicted the past two years about whether I should major/minor in math and/or German in addition to psych. I'm fine with not majoring/minoring in math, but I kind of wish I could major in German, and I might go talk to my professor about it even though I'm pretty sure I just don't have room in my schedule for it. At the very least maybe he can help me with my potential plan to go to Germany for a year after undergrad and before grad school so I can become fluent in German. And by plan I mean my total desire and dream to do so, but feeling like it will never actually happen for various reasons.
