chemistry home interviews that smell bad

1. I had my study abroad interview on Monday.  I was expecting questions along the lines of "What kinds of sacrifices have/are you made/making to go on study abroad?  Instead, I was asked "What are some of your favorite british works of art or music?"  "What is your favorite literature?"  "Last semester looks like it was a tough one(I may or may not have failed a class), how can we be sure you will be able to stay up with school work in London?"  "What is some of your favorite literature?"  I will find out in a month, or a little less, whether or not I will be living in london for the first 3 months of 2012.

2. I finished my chemistry assignment last night.  There wasn't even a melt-down involved.  Thanks to help from my wonderful brother and his amazing fiancee, I even got 100% on it!!  It's amazing how an opinion about a subject can change when one actually understands it.

3. I am so embarrassed to admit this, but my mommy had to finish my laundry for me this week.  I was very worried about living at home this semester, especially after moving out the past two years, but it has been so much better than I thought it would-probably a little too good because I had to set rules about how much homework had to be completed before going home each day.  I am so thankful for my parents and their willingness to let me live at home!

4.  I bought some air-freshener for my car and it's disgusting.  Don't ever buy the tree-shaped car air-freshener that is called cedarapple or something gross like that, because even if you think it will, it will not smell like christmas.

No new clothes for you

As I've mentioned before, I am hoping and praying that I will get to go on study abroad to London next semester.  If I end up going, I am going to need ever single penny I can get because it's going to drain my bank account plus more.  Because of this, I did not go back to school shopping this year which has really been a problem.  I really feel like back to school shopping helps me get excited for school to start, and, I don't know about you, but when I am wearing super cute new clothes, I feel more confident.  Maybe one good thing that would come if I don't end up going to England will be new clothes!!!

As a side note, my interview with the study abroad directors is moved up to Monday morning!!  Less than a week away!!! I'm so freakin excited/nervous/I don't even know.
