(no subject)
i don't know what i'm doing...i guess i feel compelled to update.
last night was bookmaking class. its pretty interesting. i betcha most people don't know like 3 ways to tell which was the grain goes on a sheet of paper. i also got the coolest paper knife ever. its wicked looking. definitely scary.
today i went to my craft of history class. seriously, if you weren't going into the history field, none of this would make any sense at all. to me, it made some sense but not a lot. so yes, the craft of history is the history of history basically. my professor is english and seems to have a way with the ladies of the class. he is pretty cute in a weird way...and plus how often do you come across a professor that is under like 50 with a doctorate that specializes in women's letter writing? too bad he's married ladies. anyway, we've had a hard time getting this book for the class and he told us that there was a "cock-up" at the bookstore. fun stuff. i finally got said book and it is so hard to follow it's insane. arthur marwick should get an award for using the most commas and parentheses ever in a book. he uses so many commas, some sentences i have to read a few times to end up understanding the meaning at the end. crazy. the best though is the fact that in a paragraph talking about marxist and postmodernist historians, he was making his point that they always come back to the idea of the bourgious ideology. so yes in yet another instance where it goes back to that, he actually in parentheses puts "wait for it." ever since then i can't pay attention to the fucking book.
today wasn't so bad working grill. i'm kind of getting the hang of it. there's so much involved in cleaning up its crazy. once i get the whole strategy down so i can actually get out of there on time, life will be good.
plus, there were no tots today.
we also had our big chicago meeting for phi alpha theta. we've finally got things worked out. i hope the trip goes well. those are such fun people. i wish it would have been possible to get to this point about 2 1/2 years ago. oh well at least i've got some people i can laugh and have fun with. i'm starting to scare myself. the regional conference is coming up in march and i'm actually thinking about presenting a paper. the regular sarah would never do that, it's too embarrassing. i'm still wrestling with both sides of myself on that one trying to decide if i'm going to be pissed at myself later if i sign myself up. if i do it though, good thing for the resume.
i'm pumped about tomorrow. almost a week done of class which is plus. things don't seem as hectic as i thought they would be. plus andy's coming to visit! we're so sickening. seriously. but i'm excited! we're going to see ettison clio at the wesley tomorrow night. never been to any shows there but sometimes i see the kids hangin out outside when i'm coming back from class or something. should be interesting. before that happens though i've got to work from 8-10 am (um, yuck?) and then i have class from 11-12. excitement!
maybe i'll make cookies. i don't know.
i need to go to bed though. need to make sure i'm not choppin limbs instead of veggies tomorrow.
