another day.
Jan. 16th, 2003 03:57 pmonce i make it through this weekend, things should start looking up, as i plan to get most of the school stuff out of the way then.
i'm feeling very brainfried just from goinggoinggoing for so long, and i hate the effects that is having.
i couldn't even do a one page analysis of a film i really enjoyed by the end of last night.
but, i did complete my questionnaire, found out where not to look for articles on sitcoms and friendship. anyone willing to share info as to where to find those will be a recipient of profuse thanks at this point.
i was a little off, too, so everything i was doing took me a bit longer then it should have and i didn't get to bed until 2am.
i got the armoire last night. i have to say i'm disappointed - i thought it would be a bit bigger then it is. now, i also need to rearrange my room, but i'm not sure the way i want everything arranged will work. i do have a backup plan, too, its just that i'm feeling like the boys in my life have been helping me so much lately that i feel awkward about asking for even more help. unfortunately, i won't be able to handle my room as it is for very long, so i'll be asking one of them for help soon.
and i think the heat is broken for the whole back end of the house. the tiny room has had a known heat problem, but my room has been like 2-5 degrees colder then the hallway, which is weird to begin with, and then i noticed that neither my nor the bathroom heaters were warm when the one in the kitchen was. *grumble*
to compensate, i slept in two layers of warm clothing and under two blankets. it was still really cold for me, and getting up was a bitch.
the shower featured a fun little spell of nausea. i ended up opting to come into work late, just to make sure i don't get another one while i'm driving, and ate a semi-breakfast at home just to make sure i can hold down food.
talked to my parents last night.
i think there's a half-decent chance of them coming to visit for president's day weekend, which i really like the idea of - it'll be nice to have them on my turf.
also mentioned the idea of taking a second class in the spring, and my mom told me not to worry about the money. which doesn't make my decision any easier. first, i checked, and the class would be around $700, which is a nice chunk of change. then, there's a good chance i'll be working till 7 a couple of days during the week, and though the sleeping in that will afford me will be really nice, it will also mean that i have less hours for schoolwork. and then there's the being able to handle it and not fuck up my gpa aspect. being able to handle this class, though, is giving me some confidence that maybe i could pull it off, and at this point, every credit matters because being on the 10-year plan is rather annoying.
the school is also being more proactive then i've ever seen it be before - they have posted a preliminary summer session schedule, and i'm already excited about a couple of possibilities. yay for being excited about school : )
i also noticed that i'm a day late for changing my decision about taking the class pass/fail. things like that are typically for the best. i know that if i got anything below an a-, i would regret taking a grade, and if i get an a or a-, i'll regret taking it p/f, but i'm still on the right side of 'better safe then sorry' - it just means i have to use better judgment regarding the 5 p/f's i have available.
