"presenting modern moonlight just as advertised"
i am in an extreme state of rock love right now. as usual it's with the dresden dolls. they couldn't be a better band- they really couldn't. and i couldn't be happier because i'm going to see their play the ONION CELLAR on reading day (the 14th) and i am UBER excited!!! my old advisor/first year honors program professor is taking this years fyhp kids to see it (i guess they had a meet and greet too!!!) and my freshmen told me this at study session and they were all "we have extra tix, email her" so i hopped on stalkerbook and was like "patty i'm jealous that you're introducing the kids to dresden! but it's a good choice" and she's all "come with us, my treat!" and i've been like dying of happiness since then... and the best part is, opening week of the play starts on the 8th and i know tix are like sold out almost for the first week- and i'm going- fo free! holy shit, i'm in rock/art heaven...
finals time is coming up- i don't really care. i've been doing alright schoolwise this semester. working my butt off but it seems to be paying off as well so i'm ok with that. i only have one real final, which is on the 20th, but i'm also proctoring the intro exam on the 18th which could be interesting. i just have to make sure the little brats don't cheat so i think i can handle it.
otherwise, my arthritis has been crazy bad for a while. they're trying to fix it by trying all kindsa new stuff but the jury's still out. i don't really care normally, but it's getting mad annoying in my arms at least so hopefully this new shit works. otherwise i'm just blaming it on junior year, since that's when i fell apart in hs. as stupid as it sounds i think i'm hardwired to fuck up just when i'm getting used to things. still, i think i'm more in control this time. i don't miss classes unless the docs are keeping me overnight and even then i email my profs and provide notes and shit so it's all cool. i'm keeping up with my work and there's no problem there so i'm not too worried about this semmester because there's only a week of classes left. however, if it's not fixed by next semmester i'm kicking some major doctor ass b/c i have 18 credits again and i'm going to TA for cashola instead of credit, so it's really like 21 creds, which is crazy. it's what i need to do to double major though...
oh yeah- i don't think i mentioned that. i'm changing my english minor to a major b/c i don't want to stop taking classes even though i have the minor so i might as well take the requirements and end up w/a double major. it'll look good to grad schools, and even though i'm normally not one who cares about how things look i know i need to go to grad school and frankly i want my pick of where i go and not just where i end up. i fell into curry, but i'm using it to my advantage and pushing myself as much as i can here. we talked about stuff like that in therapeutic uses of writing today. how some people are here to get ahead and actually do stuff, and others use it as a chance to avoid the real world and party. i'm certainly not the latter. i know what i'm here for and it's up to me to do it. speaking of which i should type some more of my manuscript up for sandy so that i end up with more to show than what i've allready done...
