Huh, it's cold in here. I'm not sure I've thawed out since Saturday at the Park. I don't think the apartment is that cold; my body apparently is having trouble equalizing its temperature. Well, it's Monday of Fall break and I've been pathetically unproductive. I realize that this is usually the purpose of fall break, but I thought I might be able to use this time wisely so as to prevent any meltdowns in the next month. Silly me!
Instead I have watched too much TV, played pool, slept, and found ways to avoid Sunshine, our loveable cat. Mainly because last night he spit in my eye...See, he drools, a lot, and when he was on my lap he shook his head and before I could block, I was hit. Ugh. Cat Spit. I guess it's good to say that my eyes are not allergic to cat spit! Pool was fun...I win my fair share and scratch more than should be allowed. The boys blame all my results on the uterus, though. Sometimes you just can't win.
Did finish a book on the English Reformations; interesting thesis, but one that could have been said in about five pages...not 300. Also completed my readings for Women's Psy. I have officially read every chapter in that book. Was amused by the name of a Cherokee Chief...Wilma Mankiller. Finished the Sexual Abuse chapter and barely contained the urge to rampage at the unfairness of it all. All the statistics and accounts are more than disturbing. It reminds me, though, that everyone, especially women, should rent and see Iron Jawed Angels. This HBO production relates the story of the NWP(National Women's Party) and the fight for suffrage. It's very well done. It made me wish I was living in those times just so I could join the group and picket Washington. Grrr.
I also got my birthday present from my parents today (which is kind of ironic since we appear to not be talking right now). My new Dell DJ has been charged and loaded with music. Makes me realize, however, that I need more music. Slowly, I'll have to rectify that problem. While it was uploading music, I took a wonderful nap with lots of dreams. Through out most of the dream, though, I was asleep. Yep, dreamt that I was asleep. It's actually a very comforting and enjoyable way to spend your REM stage. You get to actually appreciate being asleep, feeling all warm, and snuggled in a blanket. Hearing and half seeing dream people walk in and out of the room...weird, but enjoyable just the same.
Hey, Courtney, did you know that Jenny Denver was at LSU right now? I know she was in honors, maybe close to your class.
