Beat to hell, but happy.

I sat down with my advisor and discovered after going through the transcripts of my previous checkered and too often interrupted college career that if I complete all my courses in the major, I’ll still need to take enough courses to make up…

15 credits.

Two sciences, two arts, and inexplicably a intro psych course…because every psych course I’ve taken has been high level on an instructor’s permission. Those count as electives, but they still want the introductory stuff in place.

I mean, hell: I took a course at Harvard on moral development and the linkage between psych and religion that was taught in part by Joan Erikson, and our last class was at her house with her and Erik Erikson too…but I need an Intro Psych course. (Psych majors, commence drooling.)

Aw, hell, I don’t really mind. I’ll see if I can CLEP test out of it.

I apologize for all the detail…but you know something? I’m really, really happy to be talking about this stuff again. In fact…I might actually just be happy.

And I’m not even gonna qualify it with a self-defeating remark.
