Random subject. Don't mind that.
Well, just came back from a meeting with the TC undergrad advisor. I'm very happy to say that I'm well on my way to getting into the Technical Communications department next year; Karen was especially impressed that I was taking my Public Speaking class linked with an Engineering Technology and Society class taught by a TC assistant prof (yaaaay,first second impressions!). She even suggested taking some 400-level classes next quarter to make my rèsumè look good for February. She also suggested tutoring in the tech writing center, which I may just do (if I can handle that, CELT, and 15 more credits). If I can make it through math this quarter, I'll be able to handle anything! Except more math. NOOOOO...!
I'm still kinda miffed that TC has all of those math and science prereqs -- I guess it's because it's in the College of Engineering. ~_~ Speaking with an advisor just boosts my resolve to finish strong in all my classes this quarter, though. I'm glad I asked to meet with her.
Other than school, I've been doing ... not much of anything, really. -_-;; I finally visited this Filipino restaurant that Kathryn suggested (which is wonderful) and got my mom to order siopao and puto from Kathryn's mom (which is equally wonderful). I enjoy hearing my mom talk about the birds, too; apparently Duke and Gretel's chicks are tentatively named Luc and Gina and they both look like Duke (normal green) with flecks of blue on their feathers. Carni is still as intelligent as ever, but she's probably going through puberty, since she was getting aggressively maternal and keeping Duke and Gretel away from their own chicks. >_>;; Pear and Peach (the lovebirds) have eight fertile-looking eggs, but still no chicks. And J.J. and Lucky (the baby cockatiels) have their feathers and are flying! Yay! They apparently look so similar now that the only way to tell them apart is their different colored feet.
And that's it for now.
