I bought the "I survived the week of hell" T-shirt and am wearing it!
You know that time in either November or April every year when all you class work collide to form this unholy collection of work that you have to do? well that was last week for me and damn, it was really bad. I had a Biology test, two papers, and the best part, I had to go to work every day. It was beautiful. It all got done first and foremost but thankfully it gets better. Thanks to my kick ass girlfriend who is a Bio and history major, I was "not allowed" to fail this bio test. I was grilled for two weeks straight and went into the test and I would so nicely like to put it, went to town. I got almost everything right but knew I missed two question worth 6 points. I had therefore put in my head, okay the best I can do is about a 94, if I didn't miss anything else but probably more realistically my teacher would take of partial credit for some stuff. So when I got my test back and I saw that I had a 96 with Superb written underneath, I started to question if this was my test. But sure enough it was mine, I only missed those two questions and I got a bonus for two points. To add insult to injury for the rest of the class, he asked the 3 people who got the bonus to explain why and I was the only one who could!!! I got the 3rd highest grade in the class, and I owe it all to my great girlfriend.
So after that test on monday, I couldn't celebrate for long since I two papers due for LaRosa, who is making a case for being my favorite teacher at Rhodes, one due on Wed and the other on Thurs. Well I got the one on Wed. done pretty easily but since the Thursday paper was a ten page research paper and I hadn't really started...Lets just say AFTER I got back from work Wed. night, I worked all night and busted it out at the last min. I don't think it was great, but I never think my papers for him are great. I was just so happy to have it done.
My reward came Friday night, watching the Grizzlies GO TO TOWN on Miami 97-81. I had a lot of fun with Bethany, Eric and Amae. The best happened in the first quarter when I asked Bethany if she would do the smooch cam with me if they did it. So when I heard the music, I looked at her and started to laugh. The people before us were really lame, no one was kissing, Everyone just waved. So when Bethany saw the camera man look in our general direction, we went for it. Now usually you have to wait for you and your date to be put on the screen before you start kissing, we however just started going and in the middle of her kissing me, I heard the crowd erupt and Bethany looked up whispered to me "we are on." We just kept making out and eventually the announcer said CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE JUST WON DINNER FOR TWO AT CHEZ PHILLIPE I looked up and saw that we were still up on the screen!!! I could not believe that we won or that they actually put an interracial couple on the smooch cam. I bet we made a bunch of people mad but you know what, fuck em. It is really nice to be with someone where the interracial issue doesn't even arise. I am very happy. I when I went to go collect our prize and again when we were leaving, people were just looking at us and smiling and staying stuff like, "Ohh I saw you two on the kissin camera" and "she really let you have it didn't she." The best came when my mom, who didn't even go to the game called me 3 min after it happened and asked what I had won and what I had to do to get it. It was great. She said she got over 20 calls from people who knew her and recognized me.
That has just kinda set the tone for this week, Both of my LaRosa classes were canceled so that means that I didn't have any classes on Tuesday, I just have piano on Thursday, and I only have three classed on MWF. And to make it even better Chinese got canceled on Wed, something that has never happened ever!!! I thought I had to go to work tonight but I didn't so I have been able to get alot of rest and relax with Bethany. We even got Eric and Steve to go get Ethiopian with us. It has been a good day.
Finally, our proposed class schedule for next year were due today. If I get my first choice, I wouldn't have class on Monday or Friday, one class on Tuesday and Wed. Now Thursdays would suck with Photography from 9:30-12 and then the class I have on Tuesday and Thursday from 12:30-1:45 and then Senior Sem. with LaRosa from 2-4:30. Damn, it would be so sweet! and then I will be an RA next year too, I can't wait. Also I just found out that I will be in charge of Paint Crew this summer, which means I am going to get paid a dollar to do the same job I did last year.
This year is almost over too, I just have two papers left, both for LaRosa and both easy book reviews, a Bio presentation on Syphilis (YES) and exams and I will be free. With the steady improvement Bethany has given to my grades, I should do pretty well this semester too. Anyway, I am going to continue reading a book for one of my papers, pray that the Grizzlies go to the playoffs by wining one of their remaining 4 games and wait for the fun filled weekend.
