I survived making lots of scary phone calls over the weekend!

official tally:  
two phone calls to my aunt Lise, so I could interview her about her career.
three phone calls to Terry, group mate #1. 
four phone calls to Jairen, group mate #3.
one phone call to the Richland Community Library, who had no ideas for potential interviewees.

I think my fear of bad grades is more influential than my fear of talking to people on the phone.  Combining both equals a lot of stress.  But it all went well  (err, mostly)!

That research project that I had to start over four days before the due date? I got my grade last night—100%!!  Simultaneously ecstatic and slightly disappointed.  By no means was that project my best work, so I'm actually slightly disappointed I didn't get a lower grade.  But I didn't get a terrible grade, so I'm also rather elated!  He put lots of nice comments on my paper, as well as pointed out some thought-provoking points he didn't agree with.  Interestingness.  YAY!

Amanda Lindauer gave me Jesus' Culture's new CD yesterday.  It's pretty darn awesome.  I hope my week is as awesome as this album.

I realized this morning that i forgot to put any of The Weepies' albums on my Christmas list.  Darn.  I wonder how I missed them when I was going over my List of Music I'd Really Like To Own Sometime Soon to make my Christmas wishlist.  Ach.  (This is what I can use my New Day Today Podcast iTunes gift card on!)

Alrighty.  Well, I must depart.  School calls.  Two weeks left! [ Plus an extra Monday.  :P ]
