It seems that I have a lot I would like to write about... but I don't feel like staring at my computer screen and composing a tome while eating terrible spaghetti. I'm actually excited for my pre-work-nap tonight because, honestly, today was kinda not so good.
Firstly, I have been considering, much to the disappointment of myself, dropping Philosophy. In previous semesters, I was able to take a full-load of credits and work and be social while still maintaining my GPA. This semester though is kicking my butt. Generally I can pay attention in class, take notes, and be generally well-off for tests and what-not... but this semester is requiring a lot of time that I'm not used to putting into classes. For once, I'm not understanding math and science courses by mental osmosis (the teachers words putting themselves into my head) and thus, I'm scrambling to get ready for tests and forgetting about homework... even though I have been extremely diligent this year about writing everything down into my planner thingy.
So, to return back to my original thought, if this weeks Philosophy test does not go in my favor I am going to suck it up and withdraw from it, the only class I actually enjoy this semester. While is it a course I need for graduation, I have already made room in my schedule for next semester to include Psychology which would then take the place of Philosophy. I discussed my options with the professor and he was very understanding and said that if I did decide to drop the class, that I was more than welcome to still attend :)
Dan's daughter, Emma, was sick today so he played hooky which meant that I was stuck listening to Zach for the entirety of Microbiology (which was a waste of my time anyway).
That girl interest of his that I was so upset about a couple of weeks ago has indeed broken up with her boyfriend. AND is interested in someone other than Zach. Zach feels he's been shafted (although why, I don't know) by this chick. I could care less.
After micro came the dreaded Physics test. Now, keep in mind that the last Physics test was the one on which Zach scored one point higher than I did so when, half an hour into the test, he gets up and hands his test in, I can't help but think to myself, "AGAIN! What does this kid know that I don't!?!?" I use the remaining hour to finish my test (3 problems of which I was ready for, 2 of which I was only half ready for). Afterwards, Lynette and I were discussing the test in Speech and she says something about Zach taking his test up so quickly. So, of course, I text him to find out what happened and he literally says, "I forgot everything, I knew I failed, I'm going to take it as my lowest test grade and drop it." OOPS. Guess his 3x5 index card was lacking. Or it might be that he doesn't have the book.
My speech today was much better than my disaster-of-a-speech from a couple of weeks ago. Wes helped me practice yesterday and told me what I was doing wrong. It helped me keep my speech to around the ideal five minute mark and keep it interesting but still informative. AND he took care of laundry while I sweated over physics. He's such a wonderful boy (he pacified me Saturday night too when I was all woman crazy about trying to fit someone's abandoned armchair into his tiny car. It ultimately didn't work, but we tried!).
Work tonight. Hopefully I'll have some time to start looking over micro since it's not a championship game tonight. I'm going to try and pick up at least one more, maybe two more, night shifts since Xmas is not that far and I love, love, LOVE buying gifts for people. While we were in Dtown Saturday night, we found a little vintage shop that had a lot of quite lovely jewelry. I found a couple of things that I think my mum and sister would like.
Speaking of sister, she got her tongue pierced. On Friday. Without me! Now I must get mine done!!!!
Halloween party at Jeffrey's on Friday. I have a couple of options for costumes. Most probable right now is the giant purple sheet I bought at the Goodwill that is going to be made into a Toga. Maybe. Best of all, I get to make Wesley a tutu!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
