ummm hi
i know i haven't posted in approximately 5092834 years, but i've still been reading up on all of yall and it's really good to hear about everybody's goings-on.
with that said, i still don't really feel like posting now, but i will say this:
i don't know what love is, but he's the first person who makes me want to find out.
i can honestly say i've never felt the way i feel about him about anybody else. and i can't say much else about it because i just don't know how to express myself.
ok i guess i will just give a mini-life-update.
basically this week has been the first week since we've been back from spring break that i haven't been breaking my neck to get stuff done. i only had one test, didn't have any papers due, and just generally didn't have an overload of work. we have been reading moby dick in one of my lit classes though, and the professor wants us to get through it pretty quickly. so i've had alot of that, but i don't really mind that much. i've never read it before, and it's definitely not as bad as i thought. some parts are even, get this, funny. i mean i'm not laughing out loud or anything, but i've definitely felt the trace of a smile on my face after reading a few lines. which is a little strange to me, but i guess i'd rather that than wanting to shoot myself in the eye with every turn of the page.
and i guess things have just generally been going pretty good. stress levels are a bit higher than normal, but i guess that's to be expected near the end of the school year? i feel like you could basically pick any random person off the street, ask them how much work they have due in the next few weeks, and get a laundry list reply. such is life, i suppose.
the weather right now is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable, and it just puts me in a bad mood. ok well maybe bad is not the word, but i know for a fact that i feel better when the weather is nice. given, today at least it was sunny, but that almost doesn't make up for the fact that it's 40-something degrees in april. no, i will not accept this. well then why'd you go to school in st. louis, you ask. well sometimes i'm not really sure. and sometimes i'm really sure i miss texas. and not just for the weather.
and since an lj post wouldn't really be an lj post without at least a mini-rant, i just need to vent for awhile about how frustrating writing one is. the course is basically supposed to be an introduction to writing the most basic, expository types of writings that a student will encounter. i guess it was created to make sure that people are on somewhat equal ground in the beginning, although that's still obviously not going to be the case, seeing as different sections of the class are structured so differently that people are getting essentially two different courses. it's ridiculous. and i, of course, get the teacher that actually takes the class seriously. seriously to a fault. i mean, i guess i can't really fault the man for wanting to do his job well, but it's frustrating when kids who you know don't write as well as you do get grades that are far higher than yours. and i know i can't be completely objective in this, but i do recognize good writing when i see it, and some of these kids just don't write well. but whatcha gonna do? nothing, i guess, except wait for the final grades to come in, knowing either i've been undersold or some other kid's grade is underservingly high. ah well.
i'm sure everybody else's lives are getting to be just as crazy busy as mine, so i hope that everyone keeps things in order, and remembers that even though school is important right now, it's not everything. relax every now and then. and yeah, i should probably take my own advice.
love yall.
