Well now it's awkward.

meitantei_cjWent to see The Hobbit with Charlie on the 21st. He took our having fun together as a sign that maybe I'd want to try again at a relationship. I was forced to let him down, and there was really no gentle way to do it. It was like, no matter what I did, he was getting his feelings hurt/hopes dashed. Not what I wanted, but he brought it on himself. I knew it would happen, too. I told Craig before we left that I had a feeling he'd ask me out again. I purposely paid for my own food and ticket so there was nothing about it that screamed date, even though I'm broke and didn't need to spend the money. Meh, I say. So now I kinda feel bad, and he said to let him know when I want to hang out next, but again, I'm broke, and it's also gotten really weird now.
And of course, there's one person I'm interested in and this is exactly what I'm afraid will happen if I say anything. 9_9 Relationships, why are you so stupid?
Anyway.
Final grades for Fall 2012 semester:
A in Digital Storytelling
A in Principles of IT
A- in Wine in a Vessel
A- in Writing Across Media (Totally could've been an A, except I skipped class twice, both times having to do with my evil stomach/girl problems in September, and I didn't participate very much, but I wasn't extremely enthusiastic about that class. I'm actually scheduled to take a second class with that professor and I'm really tempted to drop it from my schedule because she's not at all engaging. Nice lady, but that class was mindnumbingly boring.)
My GPA went from 3.613 to 3.675. Quite pleased about that. Also, the storage vessel I made in WiV is gonna possibly be in the student exhibition in the spring, and if not, it'll be in the art department's display during the Liberal Arts Symposium. Either way, it's being displayed. Everyone absolutely LOVED it when we pulled it from the wood kiln, so it'll be nice to get some recognition for it.
Registered for 18 credits next semester, but that's likely changing. China Today's gonna probably be dropped. Unemployment's ended because of the whole fiscal cliff thing and Congress being assholes, so I haven't gotten any money since... the week of the 9th, I believe. I've already contacted Juniata to tell them I've lost my source of income and am worried about paying the rest of my tuition and fees, so at least they know that--I'll be going to talk to Financial Services the first day of classes, before my 10am. But anyway, that throws paying things into total doubt, so the optional short-term study-abroad class is of course the first thing to go. I'm also registered for Nonverbal Communication (not required, but thought it would be interesting) and Writing Across Media 2 (which like I said, I might drop, depending on my impression the first day or so). The definitely-staying classes are Beginning Photography, Intermediate Ceramics (which I'm not registered for at the moment, but I will), Digital Audio Production, and Tai Chi (because why not? XD). If I throw away the other three, I'll need one more credit to stay full-time because Tai Chi's only two credits. There's a class I'd have liked to take, but it conflicts with ceramics, unfortunately. Chances are I won't drop all three of the classes. Nonverbal Comm should be interesting, and I've heard nothing but great things about the professor.
For the past two weeks, I've just been trying to remind myself to not worry so damn much. The money thing keeps creeping up in my mind. My parents weren't supposed to have to help me, they have their own bills to pay. Now Mom's saying if it comes to it, they'll just have to support me while I'm in school. On one hand, I'm happy that she agrees that I need to finish what I started. On the other, I'm incredibly frustrated that it even has to come to this. I'm trying to just be calm about it, though. Enjoy the break before classes start up again. Breathe.

Congratulations again on the grades, you did awesome this semester. I hope that your financial aid office will help you, but I'm sure they'll have some kind of resources for you. I'm glad your parents are willing to help, especially since your mother wasn't so sure when you started. While it sucks to have to be in this position at all, at the very least you know you have support and that's always a good thing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
