So I'm back at school already and feeling stressed out like no other. But lets start with this past weekend...
It was perfect. Jose flew me down to VA to see him because he had to handle some work stuff and couldn't make it up here. We exchanged presents. His weren't that exciting because I suck at gift giving, but he got me a Tiffany diamond necklace (holy crap!). I'm seriously so lucky. Not just because he got me something really nice but because he treats me so well and I'm lucky to have him in my life. We went out to this AMAZING dinner at the same restaurant, the Brazilian Steak House Fogo de Chao. It was so good!! I think it's probably one of my favorite restaurants ever. We just spent a lot of time together and it was so wonderful. I hate it that I always cry when we leave each other though, every time. I can't help it. I know that I'll see him again sometime soon, but I can't help but cry when we leave. I'm a total sap.
Then, reality hit and school started with a bang. I'm taking four classes and they're all really great/interesting. I'm taking a pharmacy class about drugs in society which seems interesting so far. I'm probably going to struggle in it though because science isn't really my thing. I'm also taking Documentary photo. I like it so far. I need to do some serious brain storming though because I have zero ideas for any photo projects for this semester. I need to seriously start thinking about things I want to do and ways to do them because I'm behind. That's what this weekend will be devoted to. Then I'm taking digital photo again which is good but problematic at the moment. It's really complicated and I don't want to go into it right now but I have to email some people and figure out what I'm going to do about it. It's causing me a lot of stress. I'm also taking African Art which will also probably be challenging because I don't know very much about Africa at all. We were given a blank map today and told to fill in as much as we knew. I knew 3 countries. It was horrible.
I'm kind of bored now. I don't have any official homework. Shit that's not true, I have some documentary homework. I have to start looking for an image and answer a few short questions about it. I should do that. I will soon. I'm just not in the mood to do anything/I have nothing really productive to do. I'm kind of lonely.
I really hope this semester goes well. I've already decided that I will not be skipping classes, at all if I can help it. I like all of my classes so far (it's only the second day) and I'm perfectly capable of attending. I'm going to do my best to study. I need to figure out when I'm going to graduate (it'll be at least a year, plus some summer sessions) and I need to really make a plan and stick to it. I'm going to have to take classes that I don't want to. I hate doing that.
Why am I always so tired?
