Thursday, December 9, 2004 Hi! I'm a big lazy bum...who doesn't have internet. :/ again I am with out the nternet, and have not updated for a very long time. Anyway, about the break I was so looking forward to: It was absolutly wonderful. I got to see some people I haven't seen in a very long time and talk with them and remember why I miss them, I got to spend four whole days and a little bit more with Tony, I got to see Ashley in Boston and in STL, I got some work done, but also a lot of sleeping done. It was fabulous!
I've been very busy they past few weeks getting together my 4 papers and one folklore project. One paper I have ranted about to everyone because it has to be 4-5 pages, but is only worth 20 points out of 500 for the class total. You do the math that equals 4% of my entire grade...Yeah. I know. But now, as of today okay so I do have two finals but neither of them are cumulative, so I'm not concerned...Anyway bascially I'm going to work the for the next week and a half or so, writing and reading like crazy, then I'm coming home for Christmas (if necessay or after my car is fixed, it's been making some funny noises lately, I'm getting it checked out tommorow), I'll be in STL from the evening of the 22nd till the morning of the 3rd, I may be making a small sojourn to Columbia when Tony is in town, so Deb, Jef, and Ben can see him. That's pretty much all that's been going on with me... except now I have the strong urge to PARTY!!! woot!
Frances' brain shut down at 12:45 p.m.. Friday, November 19, 2004 WOOT! This week is over! Now for the fun! granted, not too many people think have to get up at 4 in the morning is fun...but it will be tommorow, though I may be sleepy when I get in... I just got (almost) everything out of my apaprtment, I left some food in the fridge, a mixer, and two things I want to throw away. I did a lot of loading and I'm sleepy... SO this week...was mostly me writing and getting stressed out over the writing and the accomplishment of certain tasks that aren't immediate but I wanted to get done early that I have now given up on trying to do this week. I will simply have to do them next Sunday when I do all the rest of my homework for the break. Anyway, now is the time for dinner, drinks, and fun...
Frances' brain shut down at 05:18 p.m..Monday, November 15, 2004 Ok all. I have a new house. It's way bigger than I though it would be! There's 5 bedrooms like a million closets and huge windows everywhere! Plus a two floor deck! Anyway so the moving part of the weekend was really not so fun, I'm still exhasted from it, I mean we all moved 6 people's stuff and the boys helped out with everything. I'm bruised and sore, but I've built more muscle in the past few days than I'm sure I'll ever need. I got very little homework done this weekend as a result but I have about 3.5 pages of my capstone draft that's due Thursday so it's a start. Oh and we're still not competely moved out, everything in the kitchen is still there....bleh! On a brighter note in 5 days I get to go up to Boston/Providence are to see Ashley and Tony! So excited, I just keep telling myself, if I get thtough this week I'll get that chance to relax I've been looking for. ^__^
Frances' brain shut down at 12:12 p.m..Tuesday, November 9, 2004 Okay, I am such a blog slacker so I am going to make sure that everyone knows about a few things that are going on in my life that you may not know because I've been bad at keeping in touch with everyone... : / 1) I am moving. Deb's boyfriend Jef bought a house and him, Deb, Kris, Ben,Matt and I are all going to live in this house. Even though we don't have subleasers for our apartment yet...(fingers crossed, please please, I don't want to pay rent over the summer for apartment I won't be living in)...(Kevin, the house is actually pretty close to you which means hopefully I'll get to see you more often.) I bought a bike so I get to campus and such without having to drive my car and deal with the hassle of parking on campus. (this is the first bike I've had since I was like 8, so I'm excited!) I've been gettin re-aquiantted with riding this week and it's been a lot of fun. Okay, and I'm moving this weekend meaning I will be super stressed out and in need of some fun after we're all moved in. 2) I will (hopefully, if I am accepted) be attending a publishing institute at NYU over the summer, likely I will leave a few days after my birthday. This institute is basically like a 6 week job interview, and if I go I will have like a 75% to 90% chance that I will get some sort of job offer, and it's the only way to get into the publishing industry without prior work experiance. I'm sort of putting all my eggs in this basket so I hope it works out. That's the two big things, right now I'm stressing out over my approaching capstone paper that must be written and a Cable programming presentation and paper that must be done along with all my other homework. With the move I'm beginning to worry that I won't be able to do it. Also my doctor wants me to go back on the medication that may or may not be endangering my health, and I don't want to. ARGH! and All I want is for it to be November 20th. Then I get a small break at least from class and work and I get to see Tony and my friends and family over this break. And that's what I need right now I think to see and be with the people I care about... Sigh. I need a hug.
Frances' brain shut down at 08:13 p.m..Saturday, October 30, 2004 So, some of you know that for the past couple of months I've been on some severe amounts of migriane medicine, and this week my stomach got tender to the touch, which is something my doctor said might happen because of the medication I'm on for my migraines, so I don't know what's wrong but I called my doctor and if my stomach stil hurts on monday I'm supposed to call and make an emergency appointment. Ick. anyway other than that my life has been pretty normal, I found out this week that I have to have full written 10 page draft of my next capstone paper by the 18th, even though the paper isn't due till December 9th. Sort of cranky about it because I thought I'd get to have a break in my work load before break. Now not so much. A bit bummed about the Cardinals, but we'll get 'em next year. hmmmm, getting excited cus it's almost november, and I'm looking forward to the break. ()=D My social life has been sort of relaxed lately, though we're trying to get some stuff together for Deb's birthday, so Monday should actually be fun. Anyway, got work to do and laziness to be had.
Frances' brain shut down at 12:54 p.m..Friday, October 22, 2004 Okay, so.... THE CARDS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! (bounce) Very excited, I hope they kick some butt. So...school. I'm doing all right, having abit of trouble with this paper due Monday. I seem to have a lot of trouble writing papers, mostly because I'm never sure until I'm like halfway through with them how and what it is I want to say, oh well. I guess it's a good thing I like to start my papers earlier.. today I'm supposed to go talk to a investment advisor, gotta figure out what to do with those extra dollars. I really want to take a big ol' nap though. I still might. Oh and I have this presentation to do at 3ish for my Com class and then after Monday of next week I will have to do nothing for that class until last week of November early December..woot! Got my capstone paper back, kicked its ass. got my other lit paper back, did well enough, woudl have taken the oppurtunity to revise it had there not been another paper for said class due monday(the one I've having trouble writing) I'm going to take the B and just try to do better on this paper. I'm starving. I should eat. I'll try to update with some excited weekend plans, not that there are any, maybe I'll just lie.
Frances' brain shut down at 12:03 p.m..Sunday, October 17, 2004 Okay, so have you ever had a political discussion with your parents where you see just how close-minded and opinionated they really are? If so, have you then consumed large amounts of alcohol to forget said interaction? That was me last night. My parents were in town this weekend and we spent some time together most of which was okay, until dinner last night...anyway after that I went home watched some Sex and the City with my roommates and then we went to see "Team America." Hysterical, very crude, and the music in the best part. "What I'm trying to say is..."Pearl Harbor" sucked and I miss you...." Now I'm supposed to do some homework, but intsead I think I shall nap or play Sims2, depending on whether or not my computer decides to freak me out again.
Frances' brain shut down at 11:29 a.m..Wednesday, October 13, 2004 I am the laziest blogger ever. Anyway so I finished my capstone paper last week, it kicked ass. I still have gotten my grade for the other paper I turned in, so I'm nervous about it, that it's taking so long for me to get it back my teacher must just be trying to find a nice way to say,"this is really a bad paper." of course I'm probably just delusional. I took a midterm this afternoon that was the trickyest worded midterm I've taken in a while. You know the kind you have to read a few times before you are sure of what the question is asking you. I think it went alright, we'll see. Fun-wise, I went to a comedy show last thursday with Kevin and got fairly drunk and then on Saturday morning, I went to the airport to pick up Tony! (bounces!) We went and got some lunch and then came back played some Sims2 and went for a walk on the Katy Trail. After which we went to Shakespeare's and ate ravenously, then we had some wine and watched Return of the King and Saturday night live before bed. Sunday we just sort of lazed about, we slept in, made breakfast and then went to go see "Sky Captian and the World of Tommorow." Tony loved it, then we came back and went for a walk around the Quad and hung out at Peace Park. Where some girl came up to us and asked to take our picture for her photography class, and we were like ok! So then we went to dinner at Flat branch and ended up stopping by Jef's house afterwards to see him and Deb, and we ended up playing this awful game called SMATH, Whatever you're imagining it's sillier than that. Then back home for some pre-departure clinging and sleep. Monday I skipped my first two classes and took him to the airport. I'm so bad at good-bye's, especially in this case where neither of us wants to go but has to. He made it back safely but had some trouble finding his car. And now it's another month before I'll get to see him again. Sigh. I miss him, but I know I'll see him again soon. I haven't been feeling too well and I got another migraine today...bleh. Kevin stopped by last night and that was cool, though I wasn't feeling so hot. Hmmm. My parents are coming in this weekend and I feel sort of bad cus I don't really have anything to offer them in the way of entertainment. Oh well. I'm sure I've rambled quite enough, I'll try and update again soon.
Frances' brain shut down at 06:51 p.m..Friday, October 1, 2004 Hi all, I've been very tempted to update this whole week, but I've been busy. Busy trying not to be lazy, busy with migraines, busy with worrying about money and busy with worrying about our country going to hell in a hand basket... I watched some of last night's debate and I just can't help but hope that people my own age will actually vote in this election. I really just don't want another generation deciding what sort of world we will end up with. Grrr. I've been working on my capstone this week, but I can't tell if it's any good or not. I keep going back and forth and I really, really, really want it to be spectacular! So I sent the approximately seven page draft into my teacher to get some feedback, and I'm petrified that I'll get some sort of response like: Plus I'm having trouble articulating what I'm getting at in the paper itself, I want to talk about how when we go to King Lear we expect to see destruction, and any part of the acting of Lear that is done wrong or draws attention to itself messes up the feeling of us actually watching the psychological breakdown of a man, and reminds us that it's just a play. And then I want to argue that the reason we want to see the complete annihilation of a man is because chaos and destruction fascinate us. And we are fascinated because we don't understand it, even though we know it happens (think 9/11, Vietnam, Hiroshima etc.)And another important reason that we want to be drawn into the destruction is so we can attempt to grasp what we have trouble grasping in real life, why this destruction happens, who is responsible etc. Phew, ranty goodness... anyway I suppose I should tell you what else I have been up to, my other classes are not giving me quite so much trouble, lots of reading of course, and I've gotten a few papers and tests back, I seem to be doing well so far, but it doesn't look like I should be slacking off any time soon. I got a folklore paper back with the comment I hate the most, "Good, really good, but more." Meaning of course that when they asked for a 4 page paper they really wanted a 6 page paper...bleh. So that means I have to find time to revise that paper before the final project is due (worth 90% of my grade mind you) and I already have to start writing the second essay for the project, as well as probably a commentary example. Of course that's really my choice because I'm trying to get a bunch done ahead of time so when Tony comes in next weekend, (^_^), I will get to spend my time with him instead of my homework. Jesus, I've written a lot, I have a feeling I've been very stressed out this week, and am now and need to vent... a lot. I'm going to run to the bank in a minute and write for a bit to help me relax...(sigh!)
Frances' brain shut down at 03:58 p.m..Tuesday, September 21, 2004 Alright, So what have I been doing? Well for the last couple of weeks I've been doing school work, writing lots of papers, and there are more to come. Also I got a job working as a Commodites broker's secretary, which basically consists of me doing my homework and sometimes answering the phone or sending a fax or paying a few bills. Oh! and I got my belly button pierced, most of you know that but for those who don't I did. No, it didn't hurt. It was fun and now it's healed, woot! I have another job, mostly a volunteer position as a copyeditor for the national public relations magazine founded here at MU. I would also like to work for E.P.I.C. again but I haven't contacted them because their meetings are when I work... On sunday I went to dinner with Kris, Deb, Jeff, Amy and Cole to Flatbranch's "Talk like a Pirate day" party, cheap drinks, free buffett, it was nice. I wish I had remembered my camera though. By the end of this past weekend I felt like I needed another weekend, I spent like 4 and a half hours in the library and found only one book that looks like it will be helpful at all for my Capstone paper. Bleh. So classes I'm taking: Capstone (17th century drama),Folklore( Pop Culture, basically we talk about fairytales and vampires, proverbs etc.), 20th century Lit(trauma in post modernism), Com 103, 3636 ( both about the media) All have lots of reading involved, but I'm a reader, so I'll deal. I should go do work now but I'll try to be good about updating....
Frances' brain shut down at 05:11 p.m..Thursday, September 16, 2004 I'm baaaack! Okay so this is is really an introduction to the next possible entry but I'm here. Summer was good, I made some money at the Arch, had a great June sharing all the birthday fun with my fellow June birthday-an's and besides spending some time with some good friends, I achieved my goal and have now finished the first half of my book. Anyway I'm actually on the phone with a cute boy right now... so I better get back to him.. more later
Frances' brain shut down at 11:03 p.m..Saturday, April 24, 2004 Alrighty, I'm going to die. Well, not to be melodramatic, but I just might. Too much homework, too much work, too little sleep, too little fun equals one very irritated and tired me. And of course this is all anticipatory as the real hell starts tommorow, because that's when I get down to business, when I actually have to do everything I've not been worried about for the past couple of weeks because you see, everything I need to have done for the rest of the semester must be completed within 5-10 days from today, some of it big and others of it small things but all together frightening, espeically the 30 min presentation part of it, that hasn't been written and is barely researched for. () = O Anyway, other than that I've been fine, this week flew by. I did a lot of work I know, but it doesn't seem like it in comparison to what's coming. Last night Deb, Tony, Tasha and I did some drinking and watched a movie and listened to some music. basic but a good time. I turned in my revision, still not completly satisfied but what can you do? I did what I could in the time I had. I did a little presentation this week in 215, and I think I did pretty well.hmmmm, not much else is going on with me. I don't know what's going on tonight, but whatever it is I hope it's good, cus I want to have as much fun as possible before this next week begins... now in preparation for next week, I'm going to go read some Paradise Lost.
Frances' brain shut down at 03:31 p.m..Saturday, April 17, 2004 So it's saturday, and I just finished a lazy afternoon of Walmart shopping, junk food eating, LOTR Extended Edition watching. And now Tony is camped out on my floor, and he wants to take a nap...which I cannot let happen as he takes up my entire floor. Well almost. Anyway, Random comment of the day: IM is a dangerous and helpful thing, don't ask me why I say so, it just is. On to other things , It's Hot! seriously I slept in practically nothing last night. I could have turned on the A/C but it seemed kind of silly considering it will only be like this for another day or so before it cools down, plus my room is at the other end of the apartment from the A/C unit so it wouldn't help me that much any way. Let's see last night, I watched the first disk of the extended edition, and hung out with Tony and Ben. Deb went away for the weekend so it's kind of lonely over here, and I was real creeped out sleeping here by myself. I think I'm one of those people who can't live alone, because instead of enjoying it like other people I miss having someone else around. This past week I've been well trying to get work done and not really succeeding, but I only have 3 weeks left and so much left to do for school. Bleh! Also I've been working a lot, not great. The money's nice but no time to spend it. I was actully a truant on Friday and called in to work for no other reason than I didn't want to go. Hmm I've been editing "new moon" for Creative Writing class. It's going pretty well, but it still doesn't seem done yet...also I feel like a slacker because I haven't been working on my book despite that fact that I have my computer back. I guess it's what you'd call Spring Fever. cus I really don't want to do anything, except have fun and be lazy. Speaking of, I'm going to go do that...
Frances' brain shut down at 04:51 p.m..Wednesday, April 7, 2004 Alrighty, so it's wednesday, also know as hump day (not like that!) and I've been a particulary bleh mood all day. but now I'm listening to the LOTR 3 soundtrack.... and I just finished another paragraph for my Eng 215 paper, due next thursday. I have a lot to do next week, and I should read some Paradise Lost tonight, so that way I won't have to read like 60 pages over the weekend... Ok so, not much has been going on, My computer is fixed, but not with me. I'm going to pick it up this weekend. =D along with lotsa candy from my mum. Over the weekend, I was lazy and had some delicious Whisky and Gingerale's on Saturday night, Sunday was cool, very lazy I finished the Bridget Jones' sequel in like a week, very good and quite silly. Last night I hung out at the Artisan with Deb, Tasha, Tony, and Lindsey who is now engaged! It was a good time because they played a lot of my favorite music, including "echo" by trapt which I happily have stuck in my head. Also the conversation was good, and we all avoided homework, extra goodness. Hmmm that's about it I think, I'm going home Friday and will hopefully get to see some people's I missed. Alright going home to yoga now.... and eat my weight in chocolate
Frances' brain shut down at 05:51 p.m..Tuesday, March 30, 2004 This is a quick one, I've got to go to work in like 5 minutes... I'm still hanging out at the computer lab because my computer needs a new hard drive, but they were able to save all my files ()=D Happiness. Break was pretty good I got to see Sarah and Kevin. I wasn't in town very long (4 days), so I didn't get to see everyone or do everything I wanted to do in STL. I spent a few uneventful days in Columbia, then went to joplin, MO where I was assualted by 5 cats and 5 dogs, one of which is the devil incarnate. All at Deb's house, but no sneezing thanks to 24 hour allergy medicine. It was a good weekend but I got a migraine while there Saturday night so I wasn't much fun. Now I'm back at school. yeah. and I have homework ,lots of it, and a creative writing workshop this week, also I'm working more than 16 hours this week alone. Bleh. Gotta give Mum a call and see if she finished the 2nd Harry Potter yet, I finally got her reading them..and I should call to set up a hair appointment, and try and set up something socially for the weekend... Anyway off to work!
Frances' brain shut down at 02:37 p.m..Friday, March 19, 2004 Hi all! I am so incredibly lazy and still without a computer, so It's been a while. Anyway I finished my creative writing story, 17 pages, the longest short story I've ever written. Yeah for me. I even think I could have written more.... Today begins spring break, usually an exicting time, but not so much this year I'm just going home for a couple days to get my computer fixed, Deb's coming with me, for the just the weekend I think, then I'll head back to Columbia about mid week, and then go to Joplin to meet Deb's family next weekend. Should be fun, I just really hope they can save the stuff on my hardrive or I may cry... Oh and I found out yesterday I didn't get that research project. Suck. I'm pretty bummed because I was kind of looking forward to working on it. Also that means unless some other arrangement can be provided I'll be working at the Arch all summer, of course it pays well but I just will be kinda sad since many of my friends have away from St. Louis summer plans, which means I'll still miss them even though I'm not in school. Bleh. Things don't really seem to be going my way at all this semester. Anyway I have to go drop a class now, and then eat some lunch and finish packing so I can head home when Deb gets out of class.
Frances' brain shut down at 12:09 p.m..Monday, March 8, 2004 alright all, my computer is busted! I'm writing to you now in one of the many mizzou computer labs. The worst part is I can't get it fixed until Spring break meaning so I'll be spening about 2-3 hours every evening this week extra away from home.Bleh. Other then that not too much has happened. My mentor did forget about the application date but my parnoid e-mail saved us both, yeah paranoia! ummm Since my computer's busted I had to start my creative writing story over, I have about 5 pages currently, and I'm liking it so far. Now I have to run home and finish reading an assignment I didn't know was due for tommorow until about 2 hours ago as well as study for my two midterms on thursday.
Frances' brain shut down at 08:12 p.m..Thursday, March 4, 2004 Ok so I haven't updated in a long long time. Sorry. Anyway I've been spending the week preparing for a presentation that I did today, it went alright but I was short of the time limit by 20 freakin seconds! grr. At least there was no fainting or near death experiances involved. Now I'm trying to get my URMP application together for the summer research project I want to do, the application is due tommorow. I'm freaking out slightly because I sent a draft of my application to Kerwin (my mentor) on Monday, and he hasn't gotten back to me with comments. So I paraniodly e-mailed him to make sure he remember that the application is due tommorow so he makes sure to send in my recommendation letter. I would have liked his comments on the application too, but I don't need them to finish the application. that aside I haven't been doing a whole lot exciting, last week I got my creative writing story workshopped,always fun. many comments reflected a desire for more complexity and description, easily taken care of in revision. Oh! I got pretty intoxicated last Saturday with Deb and her sisters, they bought us wine and I hadn't had any dinner...and there was also some giggliness on Sunday while watching the Oscars and trying to finish the rest of the wine. Lord of the Rings the Return of the King won everything ()=D as it should. hmmm then the only exciting thing that's happened since then is I got my haircut, which no one has really noticed or commented on, but I think it's cute. As soon as I get my film developed I'll put my new do online for comments. I have a Mythology midterm tommorow, Can't believe it's midterm time already btw, I should be fine, but we'll see. I've been getting decent grades on stuff this semester but I haven't really kicked anything's butt yet. But I still feel like we really haven't done a whole lot yet. Maybe that's because last semester by this juncture I'd already written like 4 or 5 papers, while I've only technically written 2 so far this semester. About the same amount of homework, but less essay writing. Not sure that's a good thing. Generally, I'm doing alright, still kind of lonely and bummed out, but what can you do? The whole world doesn't revolve around me, and I need to be focusing on other things besides my own feelings. Anyway time to go finish my application. Wish me luck, I'd really like to get it.
Frances' brain shut down at 09:11 p.m..Friday, February 20, 2004 alright, so I have class in about an hour and 15 minutes and I'm still not clean yet. Why? cus I've been packing, I'm supposed to be going home after work and as much as I'm glad I get to go home it's kind of a hassle. I have to pack my comp and homework, even though I know once I get home I won't get much work done cus my parents are going to want to hang out and I already have an appointment to hang out with Sarah..These are both happy enjoyable things, and yet I'm a bit bummed cus next week is going to suck and everyday that's closer to next week is a little bit more stressful. Anyway I've been kind lonely lately. I don't really like it, but I can't really do anything about it either. So bleh! ok time to hope in the shower and get clean. Everyone wish me luck that I make it home and back to school.
Frances' brain shut down at 09:43 a.m..Saturday, February 14, 2004 Happy Valentine's Day everybody! I love Valentine's day! Why? Because you get to show everybody how much you care about them, it's not just about romantic dates and flowers, though those are nice, it's about the people you love and letting them know that you care. So here's the Valentine's to those I won't get to see today, because you're far away. That also means you won't get chocolate or hugs from me today but the next time you see me you can hit me up for either.Oh yeah and your going to have to highlight the names with your mouse, sorry! For the rest of you in Columbia, you'll have to come see me for your Valentine! Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates, I've been pretty busy this week. I have 10 pages of my short story! Which is so good considering the story is due next thursday, and usually at this junction I'd be like: "Gee I only have like 5 typed pages, I might want to get cracking on that..." Anyway, it's also good that I have so much of my story done because I will likely have to rewrite an entire paper, and I have 12 radio scripts due in my Message design for the media on Thursday, Bleh. Oh well such is life. I had my 1st meeting with my mentor yesterday and it looks like, if I get the green light in March, I'd get to be compiling sources in a certain gen're for his research as well as taking notes on each manuscript and possibly trying to place each manuscript in a social/historical context, over the summer. And though it sounds hard it actually sounds like it's be pretty easy the way he explained it, and interesting enough to keep me unbored over the summer and on the plus side I won't have to be working like 30 -40 hours on this project a week, more like 20-25, which means more free time and possibly a job for me over the summer. ()=D Hmmm I think that's about it, I'd better start getting ready for the day so I care share some love with those around me.
Frances' brain shut down at 10:21 a.m..Thursday, February 5, 2004 MORE SNOW! Sorry, I'm excited about the snow, it's so pretty! Of course it makes me wish that they would cancel all my classes so I could go out and have fun...but you can't have everything. I'm also excited because I got a mentor today!! For those of you that don't know I got offered a chance to apply for the Universities summer research program, which means I take one class, and spend the rest of my time researching, and get paid $3000 at the end of the summer. Pretty cool. Also since it's like a full time job I could still come home on weekends to see the people that I miss now and will miss if I'm here in Columbia for 8 weeks. Anyway I needed a professor to craft a project that will help with his own research and provide me with more specialized and useful research skills.But now I have one, YEA! Of course I still have to fill out the application etc. but still very exciting... anywho, back to my soap.... Oh yeah have two and half pages of my new short story!
Frances' brain shut down at 12:20 p.m..Tuesday, February 3, 2004 So I'm alive! yeah! Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven't actually been overwhelmingly busy, well not compared to last semster anyway, I've just been lazy. And Laziness is always deserving of an apology. Well I've been doing some homework,and trying to write my next short story,with not much success. I've been longing to play some video games, but no luck there. And really this weekend I watched a dog show and got to see lots of cute puppies, which let me just say is a real mood boaster, if you're stressed out look at a puppies and instant stress relief. Anyway this should be a busy afternoon and hopefully I'll actually be productive, instead of slacking! NO SLACKING FRANCES!!!! sorry motivational technique.

Anyway, Class was barely existant, I did have a lot to read, but I'm a quick reader, so not so bad. Work was overwhelming for some reason, I think I just don't feel like I'm here and being confronted with reality like that..was unpleasant. Plus I was all by myself, some of my coworkers were stuck in STL, and called in. I have a doctor's appointment tommorow, so I can get some drugs for my sinus infection, woo. I really need to get started on that query letter for the research project...I have to ask certain teachers if the have a project they wouldn't mind me working on. Anyway, I think I'm doing alright, until I think about it...I just hope that tommorow it gets a little easier. I'm actually sure it will. Alright, it's time for bed..stupid 8 'oclock classes, taking me away from my nice warm bed....

Ok well, I have my first creative writing class in a bit. I'm very excited about it. I should be very fun! Only thing I know is coming now that's kinda stinky is more homework. Oh well, writing and reading are what I was born to do so I'll survive. anyway, Lunch time!
Frances' brain shut down at 12:48 p.m..Thursday, January 22, 2004 This is Ashley signing in. testing testing. just to let France know that everything's set up. I'll send you the pictures with the correct background color. sorry I messed that up. But the HTMLing's good now. feel free to go in and change the HTML at your pleasure. Oh, and I added a time and date stamp to each entry so that it'll automatically will do the "Frances brain shut down at bleah". Merry Christmas, and erase this entry at your lessure.
Frances' brain shut down at 12:40 a.m..Tuesday, January 20, 2004 So I had classes today... boo! But it looks to be a busy-but-not-terrible semester. Hmm. I should call my parents about money etc. However, I don't feel like it, money is depressing and if I actually get my act together and apply for this research oppurtunity I'm gonna need money to live here over the summer. Because for 8 weeks I'm going to be researching pretty much full time during the week, and that means no job. Of course the stipend I will recieve the next semester is tempting enough to make up for the extremely poor summer I will have if I am lucky enough to recieve this oppurtunity... But I can't count my chickens before I even finish the application... anywho other than that it's back to the grind as per usual, School, work, and varied attempts to accomplish something beyond either. Again, I'm doing alright. I'm having a bad day today, but tommorow will be better.
