dear granny,
Hi! It’s been a while!
So, this coming week is the 8th week of classes, which means midterms for most people. I don’t have any tests as far as I can tell, so that’s reassuring, but I have 2 or 3 papers (one is really only a short little essay/write up, which I’ll probably do right after this to get it out of the way) and a speech.
This’ll be lovely if I can get it all done without tearing my hair out. I mean, I will eventually get everything done, however my sleep schedule will get caught in a death spiral if I’m not careful. I’ll manage, though! :] I always do!
Yesterday I went to Art Prize with Biz, Tiff, and Ian. Biz and I have to go to different art-y sort of events for our art class and do short essays 3 times in the semester “reacting/responding to the pieces” we see there. I feel like being a smart aleck in mine sometimes, but they are pretty simple assignments to do, so they’re not actually so bad. The art class I’m in is 2-D Design, if you forgot. I finished the project that’s due tomorrow on Friday, so that made this weekend’s productivity on art even more of an accomplishment, ’cause now I’m ahead for Thursday! :] I’ll bring home some of the stuff I do so you can see it. I kind of like a lot of it.
Other classes are going well, too. The 60′s class I interviewed you for has a lot of reading sometimes, but it’s easy enough to keep up. I get to do a paper about Star Trek for it, too! woo! My public speaking class is alright. I did a speech on German Soccer and Miroslav Klose last thursday and it was excellent. At least, compared to my first speech, which was a total train wreck because of how little I’d practiced it. And my theology class is… improving. (Bible as a Story) I actually stay awake for most of the class, now. (oops).
Life is fantastic, too. I need to find some more creative/me time (and yes, more sleep time) but I do manage to find creative outlets in all kinds of other places. Art homework helps, and so do RA tasks that require creative thinking or design skills. (I helped design the newsletter, a big bulletin board in the front of the dorm with all the RA names and info, several sets of door decorations, and a hallway bulletin board already, and that’s not even counting all the posters and such for programs I’ve put on.)
Anyway, I should get back to that essay about Art Prize :] Have a good week! Can’t wait to be home for fall break! See you on Friday!
