(no subject)
So I've been told that writing for 20 minutes a day is theraputic, so it looks like I'm going to have to make an effort to write more entries. I figure this way I'm saving memory on my computer. I know, cheap reason, but what can you do?
As the semester winds down I'm feeling calmer than every before and it's actually unsettling. I have a paper due in two days that I haven't started, and I don't really care. When you're taking a class pass-fail and your grade in it is better than most of your other classes, you tend to stop trying completely. That's the only thing left for this week. Finals don't look too ominous for the first time ever. I have two take-homes for easy subjects, one test for which the essay question has been given to me already, and another one that really doesn't count for too much. I'm pretty relaxed, I guess.
I know that the warmer weather has been helping me out lately, too. It's nice to wake up for class and not dread going outside because of the cold. That's made my mood better the past few days. Also, today I got a really nice compliment. A friend told me that an acquaintance of ours told her (I know it seems confusing) that I was really smart. This person thought that my comments in class were very interesting and original and they thought I was a generally intelligent person. That definitely made my day. I think that it impresses me more that he found it important enough to bring up in conversation, but I guess at the same time it's a little weird. I mean, my friend just admitted that she and a guy I know from class were talking about me. Flattering, but weird nonetheless.
In our Notesworthy email today it said that Thursday Centre's announcing something very exciting about the 2008 Presidential Campaign Debate. I mean, when you say it like that you don't leave much to the imagination. I wish I were still going to be here; it would be a really fun environment to watch. News people are funny.
In other news, I'm now attempting to be less of a controling, anxiety-ridden person... in theory, anyway. I've made a lot of changes this month. I wish it were January. Then I could say that I fulfilled a New Year's Resolution. I guess I'll have to get creative this year.
