Well, I'm supposed to be studying right now...but my concentration's been less than nothing all weekend. Everything that's due tomorrow is done, at least.
I've been wasting way too much time playing online games lately. Internet should be taken from me. Maybe then I'd get work done.
This past week, one of the RAs was going door to door, asking if anyone would be interested in reading a comic/graphic novel-type thing he was hoping to work on. I told him I'd be happy to read it (he showed me a couple pages he quick sketched...his art's pretty nice) and after we got to talking, he asked if I'd like to help out with it. I told him my style is kinda bad, but I'm not too bad at mimicry, so I could do filler stuff/backgrounds(maybe)/character stuff when he couldn't handle it all. So he said it'd be great.
I haven't heard from him since.
I signed up to participate in the MarioKart Wii tournament my hall is putting on for its residents, despite the fact I've only played that version of MarioKart once. Hahahahaha. Oh, well. It'll be interesting, anyway. Majority of the people signed up are guys. One or two other girls. It's on Thursday, though, so I'll probably miss the GSA meeting. Oh, well---won't be the first time...I've been a rather bad org member lately.
My GIS Theory midterm is on Wed...and the prof had promised us he'd mail or post the study guide by Friday for us.......he still hasn't. I wonder (hope) maye he'll push the test back....????
My Env. Policies midterm is coming up, which I know will be hard,so I need to start studying.
My rough draft for my next paper will be due next week, but since I'm clueless about it, I need to get started asap. (I need to look at various works by one author and critique style/tone/theme/thesis/whatever. yucky) I got a C on my last paper back from this prof. A B on my first paper. And she annoys the heck outta me (and no, it's not because I'm petty about my grades...she's not very good at handling things, I think. ----one time in class, she handed out a page about the common mistakes on our papers (she seems to like to do that--she did that last time, too) and she was laughing while she talked about them (she did it the first time, too) maybe that's her way of trying to make it seem less...seriours/bad-news-y, but...that's really not the way to do it. And then she was explaining one of the mistakes she'd listed and she singled out a particular student in class who'd made that mistake. That's mean. Poor girl. That would be so embarrassing. Anyway.) I don't think I've talked to a single student who actually *likes* her. They either are ambivalent or they don't like her.
I...haven't done anything exceedling interesting lately. Just wasted my time playing a game online. Not even a particularly enthralling game, either, which is pathetic.
Actually, lately I've had the urge to play the game Stones (anyone heard of it?) It was on our old computer. You were given a buch of different tiles/stones and you had to make them all fit on the board, but they could only be placed next to a stone with either same color, same design, or both (kinda like the omst recent game "Alchemy" if anyone's heard of it except you don't move through levels) you need to place ALL the stones on the board in order to win. I think I won.....twice. But memory may be failing me. I loved that game, though. Of course, I've no way to play it anymore.
I should be labelling my pictures or catching up my journal...but...like with anything else, I can't concentrate on it. Besides, that would only depress me more.
The haunted hall our dorm always puts on on Halloween has been moved to Thursday the 30th, instead of Friday. I think it's a bad idea, but apparently a lot of people wanted it moved. It means either they'll need to close it down earlier (usually it goes 'til 10:30/11) or throw out quiet hours for the night, as I imagine a haunted house + rowdy college students participating and running it won't exactly be quiet. Besides, it's a haunted house for Halloween--why not have it ON Halloween??? The History Club already has something else on Thursday--they're giving tours of the haunted places around here, and I plan to go on it to see what they have to say. It should be interesting, the stuff the dug up. I promised my roommie from Scotland (who's on that awful English class with me) we'd go together. But, I also kinda wanted to maybe participate in the haunted hall thing....oh well. I guess I could go on an earlier tour and still make it back in time... But I don't think competing with them is good (we'd probably win, since this hall does it every year, and this is the first time the History Club has ever done the tour...that I'm aware of...) but it still doesn't seem right anymore.
I barely got any sleep all weekend, since roommie seems to think that, even if I'm lying in my bed, under my covers, with my back to her, I still would like to talk to her. So, was up 'til after 11 both nights. And, despite sleeping in until 8(lying in bed until I finally decided if I was awake I may as well work), still feeling pretty tired.
We also kinda had an argument on Friday. kinda. but we won't go into details.
I wish I didn't hafta go to classes tomorrow...
