woooh. i should be studying. But studying is boring and hard when you're preparing for a mid-term in Short Fiction. We've read 16 stories. I've read them all, and gone to mooost classes, but I still can't remember how most of them end. And this test (luckily?) is all about "what happened". It'll probably have some analyze stuff, which stinks because I'm horrible at that. I take stories for face value. My mind doesn't go "oh. His brother took a sip of the drink he sent over for him and put it back on top of the piano- that means that he's acknowledging his brother and thanking him and letting go of all his sorrows." In fact, my mind probably hardly picked up on that detail. This is why my mind chose to be an Engineer instead of an English major.
haha in other news..
I've kind of become addicted to ABC.com because they have all of the recent episodes for free of all their hit shows. I like to watch them in the afternoon before homework. And I like "What About Brian?" But as I was watching, I realized something.
There are two couples who are having marrital issues, and they are talking and saying things that hurt to say. And I realized that as I sat here watching, that I was making a face and wishing they wouldn't say that. Because I can't say what I feel so flat out knowing that the other person doesn't feel the same way, and I am hurting them. And that's sad. I want that to change. I want to be able to say aloud how I feel, and stand up for myself. Because you can't live your life sacrificing what you feel because of how others feel.
