out of the blue

Well, if I can finish two essays, and finish two lab reports tonight (and read the rest of Frankenstein, if I can), I'll be set for tomorrow, when I'll only need to do three sets of Physics problems.

In other news… No, there really isn't any other news. That's horrible. Life is school, right now.. Bleh!

However, there is something amusing that happened the other day. Amusing in a horrible way. I may have mentioned how Dr. Fowler tends to talk about the sex and women's roles is every single literary work we read. So, a couple days ago Becky and I were joking around about how she was going to talk about the role of sex in Frankenstein, because that's obviously what the story is about. So, we go to class, and I'm still joking around a bit about that, until about five minutes into class, when I'm pretty much in class. She managed it. She strongly related Frankenstein to sex, and we ended up talking about sex for the entire first (out of three) period of reading Frankenstein. I'd be amused by it if it weren't so painful…. I really hope this isn't the only thing with which we examine Frankenstein, or I'm going to be very unhappy about the whole thing.

Anyway, that's the amusing story…

Last night, I took some pictures of the wooden figurine I've got sitting on my dresser. I thought some of them turned out pretty darn cool, but go ahead and take a look for yourself.

Allure of Wealth

In other news, I'm doing pretty well at not dying. I've still got a lot of work to do before Friday is over, but it looks like I might actually manage to pull it off. I got an extension on the religion essay (24 hours more), and the Religion quiz isn't until NEXT Thursday, which takes a load off my mind. In addition, a couple quizzes and tests are now behind me, and no longer burdening my mind.

I am going to die…

Today I have already done about 39 pages of reading, I still have 23. And this isn't nice, happy reading. This is LONG, small print, large pages, reading. It's quite painful. This is just for one class, which has a midterm on Wednesday. This midterm has a take-home essay that is due on Friday.

In addition to that, I have another midterm on Thursday, for Religion. On the same day, we have a paper on the Book of Mark due. There is a TON of reading to do for that. Say, 20 pages a say, for the past two weeks that I haven't read the stuff, at 2 days a week. So, Around 80 pages or more, just to read the stuff that I haven't gotten to yet.

Because of the midterms, I have to REVIEW everything. So, along with reading the billions of pages, I have to skim through everything for both classes, and make sure I have an intimite knowledge of it all…

Now, if I had no other classes, this might be a feasible thing. However….

I have two lab reports due this friday.

I have reading for Lit every day–a third of Marry Shelley's Frankenstein by Wednesday, and another third by Friday.

I have a Calc quiz sometime this week, and I have to learn the stuff for that.

We have probably two sets of Physics problems due on Friday–these sets have typically taken 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours to finish.

I should probably read two Chapters of the Physics book–60 pages of HUGE TEXTBOOK…

I think that's all….

In short…
Pray for me.

Happy Valentine's Day to all you people out there! Hugs to everyone, but especially to those who are feeling unloved, or lonely! *hugs!* Hope you all enjoy your holiday, and know that I love a good portion of you! :D I won't say everyone, because there're a lot of people to love, and I might not have gotten around to you completely, but I really do hope you have a wonderful day today. Cheers!

Well, I just cleaned my room very well, and it's cleaner than it's been since we arrived here in Spokane. I also vacuumed the room for the first time it's gotten that treatment in the time we've been here.

Here's some pictures:

Well, after many many hours on this poster, I'm finally done with it! And it's really cool!

There's a little more information about it at DeviantArt, but the picture isn't as big:

So, my teacher is absurd, often. I'm never quite sure what to make of her as I sit through Lit day after day, sometimes intrigued, sometimes disturbed, sometimes simply uncomprehending. Dr. Fowler seems to take pleasure in disturbing people. She seems to delight in making people shudder. The reading for Monday is a dialogue written by the Marquis de Sade, the disturbing man from whose life and writings the term "sadism" was coined. The bigraphical information before the excerpt began with the following absurd sentence:

"The Marquis of Sade was too much of a masochist for his own good."

Just think about it for a moment. And laugh.

I tried to write poetry last night. I've been doing that a lot recently, and I can usually write quite a bit, but the only thing I could come up with last night was this poem… I'm not sure if it's quite done yet. It's also not about anyone in particular, just a random thing I was writing. :)

Yeah, She's Pretty, BUT…

Though her eyes are quite nice, and also her lips,
Alas, it seems easy to see–
While Helena's face launched a thousand ships,
This pansy ain't launched but three.

Good, Lord… And I mean that with all of the reverence I can muster. Look out world…

If any of you know Aaron Moore, my roommate, you are likely to have somewhat of an understanding of how he reacts to caffiene. The first time he drank a code red, in high school, he was shaking for a few hours afterwards. He is the person who is most affected by caffiene that I know. His reaction hasn't changed; if anything, he's gotten more sensitive to it. Maybe a week ago, he had a Chai Tea Latte in the morning before Physics (at 8:00). At 9:00 that evening, he was still jittery and insane. At 12:00, he couldn't sleep. I'm not sure when he got to sleep.

Anyway, Aaron just left our room to go to Hopkins. In one hand, he had two movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Donnie Darko.

In his other hand, he held a case of 6 or 8 vanilla cokes.

He told me he planned to drink all of the soda, then watch the two movies, alternating, until time for Physics at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I am very interested in seeing in what state he is during Physics.

Anyway, sweet dreams to all of you, if you read this in time, imagining completely-caffienated Aarons.

The Just How American Are You Test

Tourist

You scored 40 Patriotic, 11 Lazy, 5 Power Hungry, and 104 General Knowledge!
Congrats! You know a lot about America, without actually possessing the personal stereotypical American characteristics. Perhaps you are an American who simply doesn't act as lazy and power hungry as most of the others. Or perhaps you googled a few questions to get some answers..or maybe you just paid attention in class?
