Imagicon

So, I've finally found a convention in Alabama. It's in Birmingham, and it's called Imagicon. It takes place too soon to use my Brooklyn costume, but my Joker and Willy Wonka outfits are ever-ready to grab the attention of every random passer-by.

Unfortunately, my girlfriend can't go with me. =( Work, and all that jazz. Oh well- at least she'll still be able to come to Dragon*Con in September.

Imagicon is pretty small, but that's probably a good thing. A small con will probably be easier to start with than a large con. Plus, I might have a better chance of competing with other artists if I set up an art booth in a smaller con.

Last Week!

This is the last week of classes; after Tuesday, all we have left are finals.
Despite the fact that passing my Math 0800 class is no longer necessary (and the class doesn't affect my GPA), I don't really need to show up to take the final, but I will anyway. It'll be nice to know exactly how much I've retained before heading on to Finite Math.
Frankly, I'll be glad to be out of Reading 0700. I understand that I had to take it as a provisional student, but they should really take a good look at the English Placement scores before deciding a student -has- to take that class.

Remedials-Be-Gone

Well, I was in Math 0800. I was passing the class, but a few absences were keeping me from passing the Math Lab, which has to be taken and passed simultaneously. So, since I pretty much knew what I was DOING with the math, I went and retook the Math Placement Exam. I placed in Finite Math, so I no longer have to worry about any remedial courses! My next semester will be my last as a provisional student, so then I'll be good to go after that, since I've completed all provisional requirements! Awesome.
