Procrastinating

Sep 11, 2006 14:24

I'm feeling terribly overwhelmed right now.  I'm at the point where I'm just now hearing about all of the big assignments and whatever else from all of my classes but not so into the fray where I just have to work and not worry.  I should be working on the paper about my first day at Thurston but I procrastinated for so long that I barely remember it.  I have Social Studies Methods from 4pm-7pm.  I'm really hoping that this is a cool class.  There's plenty to learn about teaching social studies.  Jason says that I'll learn everything at Thurston though.  Probably true.  I'm hoping that this week I'll get to check out some other classes.  I especially am interested in Desmond's freshman classes.  It's his first year teaching and from the little bit of interaction that I've seen between him and students he's a disciplinarian.  Which is funny because at the tailgate he seemed very very dorky.  He won't swear.  Kind of like Matt Gersch.

I figured out yesterday that the pre-colonial Africa online course is going to cost me 600 bucks plus books.  It makes my very American "I don't need to know anything about the outside world" feelings come out.  Come now, that's 600 bucks that I could be spending in 2 dollar increments at BTB.

I'm in the Fishbowl right now because the School of Ed's computer lab (while never busy) is crawling with SMAC.  I don't feel comfortable livejournaling with all of my comrades sitting next to me.  I haven't been in a non-SOE building in a while.  It's weird how young everyone looks here.  There was a girl that looked middle school aged when she must be a freshman.  It makes me wonder how young or old I'm looking these days.  I've only been accused by onen person of studenthood at THS but I also teeter around on high heels.  Actually, I've been walking pretty well in them.  It's fun to watch these new freshman fail to understand the proper ways to get a computer in the Fishbowl also.

One of my fillings is being a bastard.  I don't have time for dental emergencies!  My mom was trying to convince me to ask Jason if I could miss part of the day tomorrow.  I simply can't do that.  Ugh.  Hopefully the filling doesn't completely remove itself from my mouth before Friday.  I simply don't have time for that.

Yesterday Lindsy and I looked up someone on facebook that she was selling a textbook to.  He was Michigan Class of '10.  WOW.  You can't even say oh-# for that.  When do you graduate?  10.

I could probably go to bed and sleep until morning right now.  I really hope that I make it through this year without feeling too sleep deprived.  That probably won't happen.
