a break

it's been awhile since i posted something, and so i thought i would correct this. things have gotten a bit more manageable since the last post. i was able to add the health care industry class i needed to graduate. school is going reasonably well. the classes i've had exams in i've made a's, as well as the ones i've had presentations, so that's good.

i talked with my art history teacher and decided it would be better to just audit the course, because i really am not going to have time to devote to memorizing things for that class or for the research paper we had to do. she was incredibly nice and understanding, and i am going to continue going to class as much as i can. i finished my group presentation with my partner for that class too, and we got many compliments on our presentation. plus it will be nice to still have the contrast from all these business classes.

speaking of, i have a bit of a problem with my senior seminar class. we have a research component of the class, which - first of all - seems completely unnecessary. we have already had a class that was only about that where we did a semester long research project. my teacher has tried to justify this by saying that this research is necessary because that other class focused on empirical research and this one is theoretical. ...fail! they are not that different. also this would not be so bad if we had more time. our 1st draft was due in a month! and it is to be graded; not just a "ok you're off to a good start," kind of rough draft. needless to say, mine is not done. i'm having a very hard time doing it. i can't find enough research sources for the topic i wanna do. and our teacher wants us to contribute something new to the field. i'm just feeling hateful about the whole thing.

besides that things are good. and that is not that big of a deal. i just tend to be dramatic about these things. truthfully i'll end up changing my topic to something readily available that i'm not that interested in just to finish, because who cares what i really think anyway, right? whatever.

my internship is so nice to have as an escape from school. the people are great and i get to do a lot of different things. no, i have not really started on my project for that class, but that's ok, i think, because it shouldn't take too long to complete.

other than those things, i have been too tired for words lately. almost to the point where i want to go to the health services to make sure i don't have a mild case of mono or something! i can't get enough sleep, and i'm having intense dreams, which i don't usually have. i've joked about it before, but i'm entirely sure i could sleep for weeks, and be fine. i'd wake up to eat a little something or to pee, but i'd be sleeping other that that. i'm not sure that would be so bad. i'd miss some deadlines, so that would suck. but it would be so great to rest from it all. anyway, the point being it's weird how tired i am all the time.

other than that, i just need more money and a man. these things would help a lot. but i'm not holding my breath.
