October the 11th: Meant to put up a review today, wohoops
Oh well, guess I'll get to it in the next few days, not that I have any other reviews after this one so I probably should stretch them out. Well, I'm hoping to do a quick little post on the fall shows I've tried on Saturday/Sunday and which ones I will/won't be following (there are a couple of shows I was SURE *coughStarDrivercough* would be streamed that haven't been so I'm in a bit of a pickle now). And, even though I've actually gotten into Inkdeath, I'm only a hundred pages in so it'll be a little while before I finish that up as well.
So, today was a fairly average only slightly hectic day. Found out that the (school) newspaper is probably going to be hiring more photographers so I feel like I should submit an application, the thing is that I'm so busy I'm not sure how many stories a week I'd be able to cover (even though the guy who told me about this thinks there will be something like eight photographers in the end, the newspaper is going more online and that means something like 45 stories a week, wowza). Went to classes and pretty much finished up my latest art class assignment, just want to do some touch-up if I have time tomorrow and mount the drawings. I raged at youtube for a while (well, more like crocheting in general) for being confusing but I did get some crocheting done today, got a nice little base for my hat now. Didn't get much done during the club itself because I was helping someone learn to knit today and I'm really feeling like I just shouldn't be teaching people. They come up with all these interesting problems that I don't seem to have much success dealing with (seriously, they get SUPER creative with the number of ways you can wrap yarn around two sticks) and if I can't figure out what they're doing wrong and help correct that I don't feel like a good teacher. But the thing is, we only have one other knitter in the officers and she's always working on this complicated looking sweater and I know she doesn't have much time each week to work on it so I hate to disturb her (and hate to just say "You're too difficult, I'm letting someone else deal with you instead") so I have to do this. It certainly makes me a little less happy to be going to knitting club, knowing that I'm going to spend over an hour helping someone wrap yarn around a needle and not get anything of my own done while every other person in the room is, but I'm not sure there's a solution there.
I was also just feeling a bit depressed today and I don't know why. I'm trying to stay up beat and positive about life but I just can't seem to manage it. I think being with my Dad on Sunday really showed just how much I need a break, my weekends are busier than my weekdays, and I've still got a week and a half until break. I'm just tired and not sure what to do about it, it's not like any of my friends have that much time for hanging out and I am working on my own projects to keep happy. I think it's also that I'm having a hard time keeping a schedule, or even just a basic plan for the day, for which I shall blame my roommate on (for being human and not perfect of course) so I'm hoping I perk up in the next few days. Hey, I have work tomorrow which means money and I do like my Tuesday work. Gah, now I'm thinking that my adviser really needs to get appointments up so I can talk about what I can do, look up class times, and see if I can do this work again next semester. GAH, WORLD, HURRY UP, I'M WAITING ON YOU AND YOU'RE TAKING TOO MUCH TIME!
