Aren't Weekends Supposed To Be Fun, Or Some Junk?
My god, I feel all kinds of unenthused right now.
There's going to be a lot of guild stuff going on for me this weekend, and clearly it's not that I dislike guild or anything, but I always find that whenever a lot of my time has been rigidly restricted by one thing or another, I tend to start phoning it on other stuff out of some borderline subconscious desire to relax or some such.
Which I cannot afford to do this weekend, because I need to study for another math exam on Wednesday.
And when I here say "study", I actually mean "learning this stuff that I probably would already know if I had actually gone to class, done the homework, or maybe even opened the damn book for once".
I am clearly failing right now, what with not doing any of the homework or quizzes and feeling sorely tempted to write "I am a fish" on the two exams thus far. My goal for this class has now become to not fail by the end of the quarter. This exam and the final...I think if I can pull Cs on both of those, I can do that. That's all I need at this point to keep me happy.
But when I'm not doing math this weekend, I will be doing the following:
Tonight: Pirates' meeting (which will be fun, if potentially tiring) at merodi_no_yami's place
Saturday: Early morning fabric run, then movie night at skylark913 and sinceralaine's place (again, fun, especially since I think we're watching more of The Tenth Kingdom...oh, don't look at me like that)
Sunday: Dance Guild, then general guild meeting, then garb workshop all the live long day, or as long as we can stand to anyway, and possibly a mini Fight Guild meeting in there somewhere
So I will probably be working super hard this weekend, and if not then shame on me. My parents aren't paying as much as they are so I could go to Columbus just to fail Calculus, and I should remember this.
If I really need to relax for about half an hour or so between practicing my swordwork and learning what a limit is, I'll probably be doing some more writing on that weirdass fantasy fic...thing.
Which, BTW, and I know this is a waste of time but I feel I have to ask anyway, because what is life but a series of questions fired into the dark in an attempt to make it a little brighter, but no one actually wants to read that thing, do they? Out of some sense of morbid curiosity or anything? Cus if so I'll post it, just because; it's not like I'm using the space for more meaningful stuff or any nonsense like that.
In other news, on the TV and/or computer front...I think my laptop has gone and minorly fubar'd itself up or something.
See, now whenever I try to download a zipped file, it always saves way too fast and then, when I try to open and/or unzip it, I get told that the file is "corrupt or invalid".
And have not the slightest idea as to how going about fixing this problem. Grrr!
And, TV show sit-rep recap time:
Heroes: Guys, I only have, like, two or three more episodes to watch until I'm up to date and can watch the new ones as they air! The last one I saw was "The Fix" (OMGWTF GEORGE TAKEI), and no doubt The Boy will be dragging me over there to finish up sometime next week. Ooh, I'm so excited.
Lost: Missed this week, but I hear it reeked. Again. I am so beyond frustrated at this point. I decided I didn't care about being spoiled and read the TWoP recap. And...before that point, I had downloaded the episode from somewhere so I could try to watch it this weekend, but after reading that recap? I deleted it. I don't think I'm missing anything, and I have much better things to do with my time. Unless any of you who did see it can give me a reason otherwise?
Psych: I think I've missed two weeks straight now, possibly three. I'm honestly not even sure. And I can't catch up via download either, as my usual source does all their ep-sharing via zipped files (see above computer problem). I miss my Friday funny. Siiigh.
Battlestar Galactica: Trying not to get too excited after the last two weeks (come on, you guys, TRY), but, I am still getting so pumped for Sunday night. And why is that then? Well, you see (foxxcub, you may want to see this)...
...is it wrong that I am getting kind of turned on right now? Because I seriously am. Especially by that first one. UHN.
And that's all she wrote, folks.
