October 15, 2009

dear granny,
today is thursday.
my day was fine.
then it was crappy.
mostly because of art.
You see, I was essentially done with my rendering and I knew that all I had to do was some touch-ups to even out the shading.
About 5 other people had left the class already and the professor was in-and-out of the room already, so I figured it was ‘leave when you’re done’ kind of thing.
WRONG.
He happened to be walking in as I was walking out and, not that he’s mean or yelling or anything, he says “we have a while left, yet, about 45 minutes. Are you sure you don’t want to use that time?”
and then, instead of going back to my room as planned, I wind up being told what’s wrong with the shading (stuff I already knew) and that “it’s [my] choice with what I do with the time…”
but then, as I’m shading and being angry in the corner, someone ELSE gets up and leaves while he’s not looking.
SO.
NOT.
FAIR.
I just had the worst luck with that.
blehhhhh I never want to do another stupid rendering.
I chucked my sketchbook into the drawer as soon as he left the room because I’m refusing to work on it anymore because I don’t see anything wrong with it after a whole stupid half hour of NOTHING changing on it.

Math study group went ok.
And I got most of my essay done before I went to the 40 days for life thing.
We stood on the sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic. I didn’t realize we were SO close to it, and I was kind of glad it wasn’t daytime.
I was intimidated out of my MIND by grand rapids, though, standing with my back to the road at nighttime with people driving by and honking every so often.
There was one guy who is going to be there from 9 pm today to 6 am tomorrow! jeesh! at least he was wearing carharts and had hand warmer packets and stuff. That’s dedication, though. :]

I’m cold, still.
My essay’s done.
I have to make a survey for my communications speech.
I hope I’ll be able to find sources for it. :\

love, marah

October 12, 2009

dear granny,
today is monday.
I really (not at all) enjoyed being jolted awake this morning at precisely 8 am EST by the fire alarm and subsequent door-pounding. Campus safety rocks my world. NOT.
why 8 am? I still don’t know.
I couldn’t go back to sleep, even though I didn’t have class until 10:50.
so I had a chocolate muffin to comfort my distraught self. hahahaha

I don’t have spanish anymore this week officially. I only have my oral tomorrow, for which, clearly, I’m not studying very well.
I also have to read up on secret codes for a math project. That’s not so high on my priorities list, either :]
I am doing pretty well on this rendering (shading) assignment for art and to motivate me to actually do a quality job, I made mom promise to frame and hang it when it’s done… no matter how it looks. heehee ohhh, i hope i’m patient with it. I think the teapot I’ve shaded looks pretty awesome, but the rest of it still looks iffy.

Hopefully this week just goes well because I REALLY would like to move on to fall break. really really. hahaha

love, marah

PS: approximately 92 hours until I’m home for break :]

October 9, 2009

dear granny,
it’s friday!
It would be a more exciting friday if I had people here to hang out with, but alas, they’ve all gone home this weekend. At least I’m catching up on homework tonight, I guess.

Who am I kidding? Spending Friday night locked in your room doing homework is no fun at all :[
IN other news, my math teacher was back today because her daughter is, in fact, better.

My spanish teacher is still pretty funny (I think) and was saying something about the verb "to give" and giving objects, not people. Then she's like "well, you could have a baby there" (as in, like an object) and my face must've made me look really freaked out because she immediately says "for adoption! gosh!" pffffffffhahaha I almost died.

Two different boys have made my day in different but funny ways. I'll tell you about that later. Unless mom tells you first? oh well. The reason I'm writing this is to make sure I remember to tell you :]

I’m kind of listening to the songs from Glee a little obsessively now. Just FYI. I mean, that -might- mean I love the show’s soundtrack but… whatever… hahaha. I still think it’s effing amazing that you were in a glee club when you were in high school.

OH! I got a card from you in the mail today! You’re adorable. And there’s money in it? what? haha thank you so much! I want to come hug you, really badly. :\ I love youuuu

love, marah

ps: in less than 168 hours I will be HOME! :]

October 8, 2009

dear granny,
today is thursday.
I think I did decently on my Spanish in-class writing assignment. I wrote about all kinds of weird stuff and I had THE minimum of sentences required. haha, but it’s ok, I think. :]
Last night I was up kind of late so today I came back after humanities and sort of took a nap while watching a movie. I don’t really know how well the sleeping part worked, but still, I felt a -little- more rested.

I got a humanities paper turned in early/on the original due date despite the extension. This way I only have to do a little bit of homework this weekend… hopefully.

My math teacher’s daughter is getting better, and they’re home now! I’m really glad :] She’ll be teaching again tomorrow, so hopefully we can all start our group projects. (Mine’s on secret codes! hahaha it’s kind of exciting)

I hope I’ll be able to go to bed early tonight, although seeing as it’s already almost 11, I doubt it’ll work.
love, marah ♥

PS: 8 days until I’m home for fall break! :]

October 6, 2009

dear granny,
today is tuesday.
I actually called you today and talked to you about making this blog. I think it’ll be a good thing for me to consistently write down my life. Introspection does a soul good. :]

I learned a little about power sets in math and I practiced a little Spanish. Then I came back to my room and discovered that, thanks to sickness season (I refuse to acknowledge the flu), my communications teacher was out of commission for today’s class.

Class cancellations are making my work load light this week. Though I do hope my math teacher’s daughter gets better soon. :[ I’m praying for her alot.

Anyways. I was pretty much lazy the rest of the day: watched a movie, checked facebook, did nothing. ¡Soy muy perezosa! (see, I really am learning Spanish!).

I ought to go to bed now. Waffle Wednesday tomorrow in Wege! (lots of w’s, right?)

love, marah ♥
