I sneeze a lot in the lab.
I really do. I sit here and sneeze all day. But it is warm and quite and we have nothing going on so really I can't complain. At work we are going through the process of choosing summer interns. The applications are rolling in but we will only choose 5 or 6 so its tough.
I just registered at Bradley. I am so flipping excited. I have two field work classes that is so amazing to me. Yay! I also have Astronomy which I adore. Even the computer class doesn't seem so bad. This semester is hard just mainly because of one class, Writing and Rhetoric. The teacher is Nita Meola and she isn't that bad except for being the most pretentious person to walk the planet. In class we waste our time and she sets ridiculous amounts of homework that are all culiminating in a final paper, figure I will have written 50 pages of "field-notes" and "preliminary work" to write a 12 page paper. It is quite ludicrous. I love sign language, we are all a great group and we as a class have a ton of fun with one another. I heart my boys Chris and Gentry very much and I am clearly their mother as I constantly remind them of homework and projects and select good dates for them to log hours at deaf events and in return they tease me mercilessly when the opportunity arises. My Garment construction class is a whoot. Garment construction I know, sounds lame but its really quite nice. Brett, the teacher, is amazing he's forever asking everyone if they are "fabulous" and if someone makes a mistake he's there going "you are fired" and then laughing like a loon. My Schools and Society class started rocky but is getting better. The class is a class of twenty girls and two genderly passive males. They know that they are outnumbered so they keep quiet. All of the ECE girls spend all of their time together and they all think that they are brilliant. Which they are not. We had an incredible tough midterm and I studied like a mad woman for it so i was tickled pink when I got the 100% and set the curve. But as we are about to start moch LCS debates and they have realized that they all suck at debate and really need me I think that they are less detestable.
This semester really needs to be over though I need to have a break from the pattern of getting off of school only to do more schoolwork. I race ahead in my work but never actually get so far ahead, or better put, there is just so much that even though I'm ahead I don't actually get a weekend off. I could take a weekend but I won't, I can't cause then if I did poorly I would know that i would have only myself to blame.
Meanwhile as a whole I feel better. A couple weeks ago i just felt so down and upset, not at all like myself. Nothing seemed to cause it. Nothing seemed to make it better. It just was and now is over. Paul and I are desperately trying to do things together for a while now its just been that we tough base and then go off our separate ways, not because we want to, its just how busy we both are.
In the meantime I am trying to keep my head on straight I still have 5 weeks and a summer before Bradley and it won't do to get myself worked up this prematurely.
