(no subject)
This is the third time that I have tried to write an update today. Maybe in the clarity of the night, the world will make a little more sense and I will be able to get my thoughts out. There has been a lot on my mind lately and finding a place to being in really the challenge. Perhaps, starting with my main purpose at CMU would be a good idea.
SOC 302: I had a mid-term Thursday. The main thing I remember about this prof from intro is that she grades really hard and the one thing I didn't study is bound to turn up on the exam. Let's just say I studied my ass off for this class. The exam wasn't so bad so hopefully my grade will reflect that. As well, the lesson to learn from this class would be not to procrastinate as much as I do.
ENG 294: I'm still not a poet but the silver lining to this cloud is that the poetry section is almost over! I never thought the end would come. I need to make a portfolio for Thursday. I'm not really looking forward to it. I had to meet with my prof to discuss something I wrote [it's part of the requirement for the class.] I emailed him one of my favorite stories I have ever written and he basically tore it apart. So that was sweet.
SOC 321: This class continues to be a waste of my time. I got the take home midterm on Thursday, which is due next week. Excellent a paper that can't be longer than 12 pages on the Laci Peterson case, like I give a damn. Next week should be interesting as I struggle to get this done.
PSC 398: You know I was really looking forward to this class. And so far, class has been enjoyable. But then I got the take home midterm that would take me about 2 days to complete. None of the questions on the exam pertained to anything we have done in class, or the movies that we have watched or were necessarily things that were in the book. They were mostly things I knew from before or things that I had to look up on the internet. I was pissed.
In other news, GSA has been going really well and I'm pleased with that. I have been volunteering with the Isabella County Democratic Party calling to see how people are planning to vote. It blows my mind that people can still be undecided at this point. Hello people, 11 DAYS! What are you waiting for? Well, I really don't care as long as they vote Kerry. haha. I have been calling everyone I know to tell them to Vote NO on Prop 2. This will not pass if I have anything to do with it. I have faith that Michigan is better than Prop 2 and won't see it pass.
This isn't new information but I am recognizing more and more that I really need to sleep more than I do. One of these days my body is just going to kick my ass and I will have nothing to say. I will just have to take it like a pussy whipped bitch.
I'm home for the weekend for a little emotional recharge, a little money making, hopefully a little sleeping in, and putting my finishing touches on my dress for the dinner. I'm getting so excited. I guess this is it for me for tonight. This is a little bit of what is going on in my head and in my world right now.
~Michael, all of your hard work is greatly appreciated and I promise things will calm down after 11/2. Remember you are one fabulous person. ;-) much love.
until next time...
