WOO.

I just tested out of my business class. It was a class for basic Microsoft Office skills. I started learning Access two days before the test. I'd never touched or seen Access 2007 before; I'd tinkered with Access 97 at age eleven. In fact, I'd never touched or seen Access 2007 until I actually started taking the test. And yet I passed it. The only bits that the teacher corrected me on were formatting things. Like the spacing of a business letter.

I feel awesome.

This means I have eighteen hours this semester but am only carrying twelve. (Three for Speech/Communications, my short course, in which I made an A. Three for BUS253.) Maybe this won't be so bad, huh?

I'm working on the getting a job thing. Might even get this settled today, if I'm lucky. I'm hoping so. The trouble is over how I will get paid. I don't think I have access to a bank account that is both A) not accessible to my parents and B) capable of being used for direct deposit by Freed-Hardeman, because I'm a minor. I could get one, I am told, if I went to BoA in Jackson. But if they can just give me paper checks, it will be easier...

I've decided to leave my Nintendo 64 and its games in the lobby of my dorm for the duration of the semester. I took it down there to play with a friend before the semester started and left it for other people to play, and now every time I come down to the lobby I see a different group of people I don't know playing it. Even boys come over to our lobby to play. It is awesome. And I want to be a part of it, after I get all this stuff straightened out.

Still need to find out the balance on my MacBook and iPod, but the IT lady is sick. I'll ask next week...

...I feel pretty good. I'll feel better if I get this job worked out.

Also...have some gratuitous music recommendations from me. In the form of a shameless Amazon widget. *points to right-hand side of page*
