3 weeks of class left
So life chuckles along as usual. Went to Memphis last Friday with Eileen, dropped her off in Jackson to see her family and continued on to Brittany's apartment. Hung out with her, her mom, and her brother Saturday afternoon, and saw a really swell production of Much Ado About Nothing that evening. Yay! Brittany and theatre and Shakespeare and the 30s! Went to Walmart twice this weekend which is more than I've been in the last two months. Met Wayne and Fiona, two cute doggies, and Pete and Josh, two cute boyses. Saturday evening I started to feel a little twinge in my throat and had a full blown cold by Sunday morning. At lots of good Memphis food this weekend. Went malling with Brittany Sunday. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend and it was pretty good. If I could pick and choose parts from the two movies and combine them I think it would be kickass. Monday I headed home, picked up Eileen on the way, and we drove home, got here about 8pm. I was still feeling icky, so I went home and made Geoff come visit me. Kinda bugged me that he kept saying over the weekend that he was missing me to pieces, but then seemed apathetic about seeing me Monday night. He came over for a little while which was ok. Wished he didn't work so damn much.
So I missed class Monday, but I think it's going to be ok. I don't think my grades are going to be as stellar this term as in previous. Need to work my butt off on this research paper for Art History. Got my outline back today and he commented that he didn't think my thesis was going to hold up, asked me to see him after class, but then didn't ask me about what I was going to do with it, just handed me a book and told me to use it. Couldn't get the gumption to finish those two stupid skeleton drawings for Art 211, so I'll just have to cut that loss. I had a B+ at midterm portfolio, which he defines as "Above average achievement, general understanding of concepts" so hopefully my final portfolio and project will keep with or exceed that so that the skeleton drawings won't pull me down too much. Missed sexuality Tuesday because I was sick and didn't feel like going, and I've been getting straight B's on the tests, but since I've been missing class a lot I'm coming down in the attendance points. But that class is just an elective so I'm not really caring. Just don't want my GPA to go down too much. Don't want to lose my scholarships. Painting is going pretty well. Didn't get a chance to work on my painting this weekend, but I will this coming weekend, and I might today. I feel better about it than the first one (it is more similar to that one than our second painting.) ASL is going fine but I'm going to have to find some time to work on our group and individual stories. Ugh I hate the end of the semester, and being sick and unmotivated when it comes around. It is the menstrual period of the year, luckily its cycle isn't month to month.
Yesterday I had to park in someone else's spot because someone was in mine, and instead of doing the mature thing and parking somewhere else, or leaving a note asking me to move, or calling the office, they decided to take window paint and draw a penis on the back window and "WRONG SPOT!" on the front. Assholes. Missed my counseling appointment yesterday because I was sick, but got that all straightened out. Don't really feel like it's helping much. I've been talking to Geoff about it a little, but really how much can he or is he willing to compromise when it's a choice between keeping me happy or staying caught up with work and school.
Thanksgiving break is next week thank goodness.
