missroseroseMy Wednesday schedule:
1.) Yoga from 9 AM to 10:40 AM.
2.) Twenty minutes (10:40 to 11 AM) to dash up to the library for work (stopping by the cafeteria for breakfast if I'm lucky).
3.) Work from 11 AM to 1 PM.
4.) Dash out the door at 1 PM to catch the express downtown. If possible, have American Lit books with me to work on reading assignments during bus ride.
5.) Hit the federal building at 1:30 PM; dash several blocks to my teacher's house for lesson at 2 PM.
6.) Dash out the door again at 2:30 PM and try to figure out where the nearest bus stop is, and when the next bus goes by.
7.) Get off the bus at the University (probably sometime around 3:30-4 PM) and slowly plod up the hill to my dorm room.
8.) Collapse for an hour.
9.) Eat dinner if I'm hungry and have the time/energy.
10.) Dash back down the hill to work again from 5:30 to 10 PM.
11.) Come back home and collapse.
Lori's promised to take me off of Wednesday evenings (or at least, not have me on quite so late) when she finds someone to replace me; unfortunately, this may take a week or three. In the meantime, I get to dash about like a wild...catgirl. Or something.
Fortunately, the rest of the week isn't quite so hectic, and due to the fact that I work so many hours on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, I have Tuesday, Friday and Saturday off (the latter two have no classes, as well). So it all evens out. Sort of.
My American Lit I class seems cool enough; the instructor is incredibly easy to make fun of, but he seems to laugh it off okay. Unfortunately, it's a rather writing-heavy course - I've got a 1.5-2 page paper and a question on the various readings both due tomorrow. Unfortunately, I haven't had much of a chance to peruse said readings, so...yeah. Going to be up late tonight. Maybe I can bring my book to work this evening...
Art History I, by contrast, seems to be mostly about reading the book and listening to lectures, then studying enough to pass the two midterms and the final. None of which are cumulative, so as the teacher put it, we're free to forget the material after we've been tested on it. Which is probably a good thing, since that appears to be what most people do anyway. It also looks to be a fascinating course; but then, considering I grew up with a mother who majored in Art History, it's probably not that surprising that I find it interesting.
And in the meantime, most of my muscles feel like they've been through a taffy puller, thanks to the aforementioned yoga class...not in a bad way, just in a "you've used muscle groups you haven't known existed since you stopped doing gymnastics in junior high school and we're tired now, dammit" way. Hopefully this won't be quite so bad once I'm used to doing this regularly.
In other news, Ian showed me a couple of trailers last night for the new Final Fantasy film - the sequel to FFVII, Advent Children. The trailers look exciting enough, if somewhat guy-flickish, but by the same token, that's mostly their target audience. What gives me hope that this will be better than the last Final Fantasy film (which I never bothered to watch through completely) is that it's a sequel to FF7 itself - which, although it was a game, had some of the best-developed characters and most interesting plotlines I've seen in *any* medium. (And I've only played through most of the first disc - I'm told it gets much better later on; I just haven't bothered to pick it up again since my game got erased. Bah.) If they do the same with the characters in Advent Children, as well as the nifty action scenes and whatnot, I may well be impressed enough to buy the movie when it comes out (apparently scheduled for an early 2005 release in the US). Of course, this means that, in the meantime, I'm going to have to re-play through the first part of the game so I can get to the end and learn the whole story...
Okay, time to quit rambling find something on the Internet to entertain myself until 1. Adios.

Goddamn...
Date: 2004-09-08 04:28 pm (UTC)And now, a series of other notes in reply:
1) Remember what we agreed about regarding you and food earlier? Don't make me start nagging at you about not eating regular meals. =)
2) Nothing quite like the innate annoyance of teachers deciding to drop writing assignments on your head right off the bat, is there? Good to know the American Lit class is cool enough, though.
3) Art History sounds fairly easy.
4) Are you going to be looking for e-mails to read over while you're at work this semester? Just wondering if I should be brushing up on my own latent insanity again, or not. =)
5) I'll probably have your copy of "Bubba Ho-Tep" ordered by this weekend.
Guess that's about it. Take care, and talk to you later, and all that. =)

4.) Emails are nice, but not particularly necessary.
5.) Again thank you. No rush. I've waited this long to see it, after all. ;)

1.) Just so you know, I'm eating a smoked turkey-and-provolone-and-tomato-and-lettuce sandwich right now. Even though this is really my first meal for the day (breakfast consisted of one of the gourmet cookies from the cafeteria), I'm making an effort, dammit.
2.) No, there isn't. Fortunately 1 1/2 to 2 pages (double spaced) isn't so bad...
True. The way I write things, that's about a page -- but then, you know I end up using Wordpad for all of my writing, which is single-spaced by default.
On the other hand, now that you've said it isn't so bad, you've opened the door to the Lit Class Jinx - each paper longer and more pointless than the one before it.
> 4.) Emails are nice, but not particularly necessary.
Okay. Well, I may not have one all the time, but I'll certainly have some for you, some of the time. Quality over quantity. Or something.
> 5.) Again thank you. No rush. I've waited this long to see it, after all. ;)
True. But I'd like to just get it in your hands instead of this drib-and-drab, here today, gone tomorrow stuff. =)
In other news, the LJ-Comment e-mail went into my Gmail inbox. The e-mail address changeover is complete. Success!
