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 :]
