Reading Break Has Officially Begun, But Who Knows How Much of a "Break" I'll actually get?

Reading week has officially begun.


Today I didn't accomplish much other than the realization of how much stuff I actually have to do during this break. I did read one of the 10 chapters I have to read for next week/to catch up with my readings. I also have to write a paper. Because last night I decided I want to go for an honors degree in Psych instead of just a regular BA in Psych, I should also use this week for studying also. (I mostly decided this because I am going to have to go for my masters degree and this will look better and help me prepare myself to get there)


There aren't a huge number of differences between a regular BA in psych and an honors degree psych. In order to get this honors degree,  I need at least a 3.0 GPA (B average which is necessary to get into most grad schools anyways), an additional 12 credits (132 instead of the 120 required for graduation), and a research project. Those are not all of the requirements, but they are the main and largest ones. I'm going to go to an information session in March and make sure that this is something that is actually possible and sensible for me to do.


An update on the salon scam: After I cancelled all my appointments yesterday, today my grandpa phoned me and explained that he had talked to the owner of the salon who had said she had already done like 100 of these appointments for free anyways and she will honor the certificates I purchased. She's going in for surgery (for what I have no idea) so she will be away from work for a while, but she will phone when she gets back. (Hopefully she will also extend the time that I'm allowed to use it because mine is supposed to expire March 22nd.) We'll see how everything works out.


Today I went to my high school to see the school musical which was a production of Seussical. It was very well done and incorporated a few unexpected things (like a Harry Potter reference) which added to the enjoyability of the musical. The only critique I had was there was no large dance number the way there has been in previous school musicals (even though they've had the same choreographer). Either way I enjoyed it.
