6 Hour Desk Shift
I think these desk shifts are going to force me to write in this thing more. I'm not even through the first two hours and I'm already bored out of my mind. I also found out that Tom might have been or may still be in town, and I haven't seen him. This makes me sad, and slightly angry. I'm almost always in my room if I'm not in class or at the front desk, so how hard can it be to come and knock on my door and give me a hug?
I tried to sleep today, so I'd actually be awake for this shift. I turned off the lights, the TV, turned my pillow from "nap" position at one end of the bed to "night's sleep" at the other end (the end away from my alarm clock) and tried my hardest to sleep. I was dozing off periodically while in "nap" position with the TV on, but once I was settled down to actually sleep, there it went. I basically lay there resting my eyes. It was like my body was trying to tell me, "I was happy taking a nap, but I'm definitely not ready to make the commitment and sleep." Aggravating.
I got an A on my first Bio exam, so that makes me happy. I haven't lost my touch. I was slightly worried, considering my grades from Ireland. But I think it's just because it's a different system and all, and the teachers are lousy. Combine all that and you have no so great a semester, in terms of straight academics.
It's looking like I might not honorize my German class after all because I won't see my teacher again before the turn-in date for the honorization forms. That's on Monday. I guess I could try and email her or something, but I'm not even sure I want to have a paper that would be due the Tuesday after Thanksgiving break. Speaking of which, I need a ticket home, and I need to decide if I want to skip the Tuesday classes right before Thanksgiving and go home for over a week. Sounds very tempting.
Shen and Anne rattled off a list of things I could be doing down at the desk, one of which was to write a book or memoir. I'm afraid a memoir of my life would be pretty boring, but writing something fantasy-wise could be fun. I just don't know where to even start.
Well, I'm off to chat with Eric online. He's back from his party.
