First Week of Classes... Check (ps Its a long one)
Well I have successfully completed the first week of classes. And am only a little worse for wear due to my 8am classes everyday. I think things will calm down a bit after the play I am in is finished. Thank goodness that is next Saturday. I have had rehearsal late at night (9-11) everyday this week. I think it plus my migraines have drained me pretty good.
I had to drive home in the awful rain storm on Wednesday. I had to get an MRI but I think that it won't really say anything. Perhaps I am just too stressed or I need to get some reading glasses... or perhaps a nice little combo deal. I don't think anything major is wrong with me... well minus the usual of course. But the drive was not so fun in either direction and 4+ hours driving in shitty conditions was a little bit more than I really was looking for this week. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
I have been organizing up a storm. (caution the following might cause you to puke or think less of me) I put sticky flags to distinguish the different chapters due (for my two classes that involve large texts) and organized them by color to indicate which test they are represented on. I also made a class schedule and color coded it. The color scheme even follows my binders to a degree. I then made a quiz and test sheet that shows what days I have what test/quiz. And color coded them by class as well. I then made a sheet of what readings are due for each class each day and color coded it as well. It actually looks like evil lifesavers. It looks like I shall be in for a lot of work this semester. And I only have 13 credits... though one is an online class so takes a bit of time and one is a lab which meets twice a week and has a quiz almost every lab period.
Our new roommate Hristo is great. He is from Bulgaria and is very friendly and approachable. Hopefully we won't get on his nerves too much. Now if we could just get another hub in here so both Seth and Hristo can be online at the same time it would be mostly good.
I really enjoyed being in the play until I realized that my character development is substandard and that I in essence suck at improv. Being Vat was so much easier to be than Laura. Laura is just the mother of the bride. Perhaps this is a way to show me that I shouldn't have kids? That I can't even act like I am a mother let alone be one. Oh well I shall give it my best shot.
I went shopping with Angie. I loves my Angie. I need to make more time to spend with her. I need to make more time to spend with all of my friends. Especially Lorien. She is such a sweetie to listen to my whinings. I even got to have dinner with her the other day. And we are going to have a late lunch today as well. I like spending time with Angie. She is very good for my soul I think. She makes me giggle for no reason and when she is having a bad day I for some reason make her happy and feel better. She even thinks my random ramblings are interesting. Only Hilary and John seem to feel the same. I am blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.
Which is why I shouldn't mope as much as I do. My John is coming up to school to see me tonight. I couldn't go down to visit due to play rehearsal. He even volunteered to visit. I was very excited. It is nice to see that he really does want to spend time with me and be with me. Not that I was worried about that, or course. I have missed him terribly. Which is silly since I spent almost all of break with him and I only left his house on Monday afternoon. But miss him I did. What am I gonna do when I have to be apart from him for 2 weeks next week? I know, I know. I am pathetic. I guess I am just in love.
I haven't been sleeping real good so I have been feeling more tired than usual. But hopefully once I get into a sleeping pattern it will be much better and I will actually feel like I am a functional human being. Scary thought huh? Hehe.
I think that my thesis research should begin as soon as the next two weeks. I am excited because I might get to work with my Jessie. She is such a sweetie. I can't believe she is getting married soon. It is sooo great. They are soo in love and I am so happy for them.
Speaking of weddings... I just watched Monster-In-Law. Wow if John and I end up getting married I am gonna be soooo very fortunate that his mother likes me. Hell, I think almost his whole family likes me. It is easier to gage his family in Maine. The fact that his mom and stepdad tell me that love me on a fairly regular basis. I think his brother and sister-in-law like me as well. His grandmother always seems to be happy to see me so that is a good thing. His Florida family is another matter. I think they liked me but they only met me for a few days. I know his stepgrandma Jean liked me, as evidenced by the pats I received on my tush and the cereal making lessons. I think they might have been a little surprised that I was still with John at Thanksgiving. I remember that John told his dad about me in the car on the cellphone on the way to his house from Thanksgiving with my family. His dad thought he was still dating Rae. I was kinda embarrassed about that as we had been dating for over a month but I know that John doesn't talk to his dad very much. So hopefully they will get a chance to see me again and will get a chance to know me better.
Hmm I really do get going when I decide to write one of these puppies huh. Anyways I just wanted to reiterate a few important things. I love my friends and I love John. Hell, who else would be so patient with my insecure worries? That is one patient man I am dating.
Ok well I will try to sleep now. As I need to wake up and shower and shave and get all organized and get my hw done and create a character,and write a 5 line minimum scene all before 5pm. But John is the light at the end of my tunnel and I get to see him at 8ish tonight.
Loves and feel free to leave a comment if you actually bothered to read this long rambling session.
