teenage cremation

hayyyyyy. so like ! yesterday i got my bill for my summer class from penn ($3300 for one 12 week summer class !), so i went to submit my tuition reimbursement stuff online and decided to check my class schedule- apparently, the class i registered for was canceled. thanks for telling me or indicating in any way that it had been canceled, guys ! so i registered for two online classes because i think i'm too chicken to go directly back to school.



these are the classes i registered for:

History of the United States to 1865
An analysis of American society from the founding of the Colonies to the outbreak of Civil War. Topics to be emphasized include: the interaction among European, Indian and African cultures in the New World; the shaping of the distinctive American character; the creation of an independent nation-state; and the crisis of the Union. Special attention will be given to biographical profiles of the men and women who helped shape American history during this period.

Elementary German I
Introduction to the basic elements of spoken and written German, with emphasis placed on the acquisition of communication skills. Readings and discussion focus on cultural differences.

since i plan to major in history i wanted to jump right in and take a bunch of history classes, but the online class options are limited. also, i haven't finished my fall application yet (for penn summer classes they write you a note like 'do u want 2 go here check yes or no' and if you check 'yes' you can register, but you have to apply for fall) and don't really have a "plan" as far as what classes i'll take. i assume i need a language and i already know german so this should be easy. or annoying, because i've heard online classes are annoying.


i tried to find a picture of a person in a mortarboard at a computer but came up emptyhanded

like, it's one thing to be jammed into a classroom with a bunch of idiots, but having to like.. post on a forum with them seems like it would be much worse, since people are a lot more brave on the internet. maybe since LPS focuses on working professionals and people over 21, the class will be full of like... grown-ups? but grown-ups are also stupid a lot of the time. please reassure me.

last night we raided, which was okay. we're kind of on auto pilot in ICC25. the new people in the guild are mostly okay, but two of them are dating and they are constantly flirting with each other and it's super fucking annoying. like, internet flirting in a way that indicates to me that they've probably never hung out in real life. their break-up is going to be hilarious. anyway, i can't wait until cataclysm comes out and i can just do ten mans with 9 people i like.


in the new expansion, i can also make a goblin dude !

today is a jeans day at work in honor of the phillies game tonight (i'm not going- they gave out free tickets this year but only for staff members. usually they let everyone have 4 tickets so you can bring friends !) and i don't own jeans so i'm wearing leggings and a skirt and a cruddy t-shirt. basically how i dress in real life, but i wore a t-shirt with the original neck instead of a gaping hole where i cut the neck off. FASHION.

i guess i'm going to go do a million works.
