My homework is done, wonder of wonders. My bed isn't made, but my desk has been cleaned off. The plants aren't watered, but I got breakfast this morning and have been functioning quite well on my pathetic 6 hours of sleep.
Darnit all, I meant to get some creamers from the cafeteria to put in my instant coffee this afternoon. Pretty pathetic, huh? I want our fridge to be here. I miss having a fridge. But that's only till Sunday, and then it will, indeed, be here.
My big film textbook has a really ugly picture on the front of someone who I think might be Meryl Streep. Other than that, though, it's a cool book.
So last night I talked to Andrew on the phone for an insane amount of time. But that's ok. That's what unlimited minutes are for, right? Besides, I was having a kinda crappy day and he cheered me up. I'm digging this cellphone thing.
So today, before my next class (which, at this minute, gives me 2 hours and 45 minutes) I am going to make my bed, fold my clothes, check through my date book for anything I have to do today, write some checks, pay some bills, run over to the bursar and finish paying for my tuition, and copy out my notes from the last two days in handwriting that will actually be legible.
My guitar hasn't gotten here yet. It's supposed to come in the mail sometime in the next few days, so they say.
Dcon is this weekend. Hrm. I kind of wish I was going. I'm kind of glad I'm not. I'm kind of glad certain other people are not. What's up with that, eh? I shouldn't care about who else goes. I'm kind of disappointed that certain other people are going. Ah well. Whatever. It's all good.
For this weekend, I need to reread the Scarlet Letter, and read a psychoanalytic essay on it. Joy. I hated the book the first time I read it. Now I have to read it again and read multiple different interpretations and criticisms of it? Gag me with a spoon. Oh well. Once we get onto the "other" American Lit, all will be well. I think I'm going to enjoy this class. Dr. Potter is fun.
Hmm. I'm checking CampusWeb to see if there are any classes still open that I might be convinced to take.
Hmm. Grammar & History of English. That sounds like a kind of fun class.
402. GRAMMAR AND HISTORY OF ENGLISH. Required of English majors seeking secondary certification in English, this course offers an introduction to the history of the English language, a review of traditional grammar and presentation of a working knowledge of modern grammar. Semester course, three hours.
Interesting, ne? It's open, I could definitely look into it. I don't know a thing about Dr. Cole, but hey...it's worth a shot, right? Perhaps I'll drop by Dr. Stansberry's office later and see what my adviser has to say, eh?
oh moan. Ancient and Medieval History is open.
AAAUGH! But I already have a class at that time!
NO! Dr. Schaefer, how could you DO that to me??? I think I'm going to cry.
Hmm. Maybe I want to take German.
Maybe not.
Why is it that all the classes I'd consider taking are at times when I already have classes? Do you think it's a sign? A sign that says "Beth, no more classes!"? That might make me kind of sad.
Hmm. Old Testament Literature and History is open, and I don't have any classes at that time.
Well, maybe I'll just stick with what I've got. That way I can work extra hard and get A's in everything and make dean's list and bring my QPA up and then next semester I'll take lots of lit classes to make up for it and then in two years I'll look into (oh moan) honors english. If i don't get approved for honors english senior year, I'm gonna be very sad.
Ok, time to go do what I said I'd do.
Love,
Beth
today, too?
