Long Days Catch Up With You

Well, I'm waiting for dinner to be delivered (gotta love Gary's).

I find out in about 13 hours if I live or die regarding my CMST 192 test. I think I did well. If I didn't, we can throw out the lowest of the four tests. If I bombed it, it was a learning experience in how she does her tests and how I need to study for the next three.

ESCI 230 is *finally* starting to get interesting. The problem sets are ugly math, but I understand it and it makes sense when it's all done. The more I do the math, the less afraid I am of taking my math skills placement test and taking MATH 072/115 this summer. If I can pull that off, I can be in Calc I (MATH 192) this fall, that means I could take ESCI 360 (Intro to Meteorology).

POL 195 (Intro to American National Government) is about as dry as a desert and about as much fun as watching paint dry. I'm developing an attitude towards the class unfortunately. I'm not learning anything as much as I'm having U.S. Goverment from Junior and Senior High rehashed. I missed last Friday when I was sick. Monday, it was cancelled. Wednesday, I had a follow-up Dr. appt. I've missed it three times and I'm not concerned about it. I need to change that attitude.

HURL 102 (Human Race and Relations) is finally starting to move into the current time frame and getting more interesting. We are dealing with much more contemporary stereotypes and effects of racism as well as dealing with the causes.

In "real world" news, whilst at Crossroads Mall, I hit Waldenbooks and bought myself the four books of the "Earth's Children" series in paperback. Clan of the Cave Bear is the first...ending with "The Plains of Passage". While there, I found out that the *fifth* book is *finally* getting released. I got "The Plains of Passage" when it came out, 12 years ago. Finally now, I get to finish off s'more of the series.

My own novel has been on hold. I need to stake out some time for it and sit down every week and work on it. School has taken up most of my time (as it should) but at the same time, I want to take some time to unwind and relax from wave predication formulas and the models of small group communication.

Overall, I'm quite happy with life. Sean and I are talking from time to time. He's really cool and cute to boot. Joe's applied to SCSU and I have him specificied as my roommate for fall, so if he's accepted, he'll be rooming with me in Sherburne.

I don't have a man here on Valentine's Day but ya know, that's alright. I'd really like to be sharing my life with someone, but at the same time, I don't have the time to really dedicate myself to him. I have cool people I hang out with up here at school.

Song of the Day: "In The Heart" by Dream Academy. Yes I found it on AudioGalaxy!!!
