Busy busy busy
I'm so trying not to die this quarter. I just sent an email to my geology TA to see if there was any way I could make up some of the work that I've missed. I realize it's a long shot, but maybe she'd be sympathetic and help me out? I mean, my English teacher is awesome and let me make everything up, which I did, so maybe it'll work again. The least I can do is ask, right?
I'm so looking forward to not doing anything this weekend. I mean, aside from working with Sami on both days (the highlight of my week... no, seriously), the only thing I have to do is homework. I am going to try and catch up/get ahead as much as possible. Here's what I hope to accomplish this weekend:
~Finish NUT chapter end thingies
~Finish stupid diet project redo
~Download xcode and do my lab assignment from this week
~Final draft of English paper 3
~Catch up on all GEL notes
~Catch up on all ECS notes
~Write more composition (but of what? I don't know...)
~Practice harpsichord
That should be good for one weekend, right? Maybe I can get this all done tomorrow... that would be nice. Then I could do what I MOST need to do: RELAX. I fully intend on setting aside a period of several hours and just playing Sims the whole time, or watching a movie (NOT the lesson plan DVDs for work, but a fun movie... perhaps SWEIII, which came out a year ago today and I have not seen since June)... so here's my list of rewards for this weekend:
~Home pedicure (because seriously, I have not painted my toes since Valentine's Day, and they're all chipped and faded in the polish department, yuck)
~Movie/couple hours of recreational Will and Grace (which I have not seen in like a year... I haven't even watched half of season three or any of season four, and I OWN them. How sad!)
~SIMS, which I have not played in forever and a day... since at least spring break (wahhhhhh I want Nightlife... and now the new EP has been announced, PETS, which I'm SOOOOOO excited for... but Open for Buisness won't come out for a while. *sigh*)
~SLEEPING WHILE IT IS DARK. This is probably my... um... 14th all-nighter? Hahaha, I don't even know. I've taken to taking random naps whenever I can (tonight was 11-2) and then working the rest of the night.
~Grocery shopping so I can have milk and bread and dinners and beverages and the like
It's going to be so wonderful to have an entire weekend to relax and catch up. No one coming to visit me, no me going anywhere else, no concerts or rehearsals or band gigs or anything. Just me, work, and relaxation. I can do this. I have to make it through tonight and then I can let my guard down. And then next week will be easier (only one paper as opposed to three) and then I get to go home for a glorious Memorial Day weekend, in which I will finally get to see Andrew etc. (whom I haven't seen in over a month now), take Katie home and get her freaking claws trimmed, pick up my new shipments of like 50 gazillion BSC books, maybe go out on a date date with Steven (as opposed to, like, "Hey let's go to get takeout from Guad and then rent a Blockbuster" dates) (that is, of course, if he wants to...) and maybe, if there's time, take my Dear Little Baby Sister to the gym for a bit or something.
I think I can do this. *deep breath* Once this entry is posted, it's off with the internet and on with the paper writing.
And now, the opinion poll part of the show (meaning, please help me out by leaving comments!):
1) I need a junior composition (5-8 minutes long). In your (honest) opinion, is Daydreamer a good enough piece? Musicians take note: Is it too "pop" to be considered classical modern music? Will Prof. Chang get on my case about it not being chromatic enough? Daydreamer is my baby, and I don't want her to bash it. (Advice from other UCD music majors would be really helpful.)
2) How early should I start planning my birthday party (to be happening the weekend of June 10-11)? (Andy, we should discuss this if we still want to do SW mania-- which I TOTALLY do) Memorial Day? Later? How early should I inform people?
