"Set the Fire to the Third Bar"
Wow... what a week. I've skipped almost all of my classes and all I can say in response to that is... why didn't I skip all of them? I am literally so exhausted from all that is going on in my life right now. I will be extremely surprised if I actually get to student teach next semester as planned. I don't even know where to begin when trying to talk about what I have been up to. I have a class that I HAVE to finish and get a grade for before tomorrow, I have one of the most important applications to submit before 5pm tomorrow, I have homework in all of my 9 classes, I have a Battle of the Bands event to completely plan before Feb 19th - which includes trying not to seem like a flake to my bands, getting prizes, getting a sound system, getting food and drinks, advertising the hell out of it, staying within regulation when I try to commit to something, back to everything else - plan an event for my floor which also includes shopping and advertising and getting word of mouth out, have a floor meeting about housing next year, do the mail tomorrow, buy a v-day gift for Joe, oh, and sleep, and maybe throughout the day - try to find some food that ISN'T gonna make me feel like I can't run around like a chicken with my head cut off, because frankly - thats about the only thing i can do to save my ass right now. So... if you can't tell.. i'm a little stressed and freaked out because in all of what i need to do - I'll be damned if someone will actually step up and offer to be delegated to... further more - there is NOONE around that i can actually delegate to that I can rely on to do what I'm delegating... omg... oh, so back on point, I've skipped classes because honestly - my body disagrees with me doing so much, so i've basically been passed out for the last 48 hours... which just makes me work harder on figuring out whatthehell i need to do... omg.. ok.. so enough for now - or else i'll skip this next class again for the week... k, bye - wish me luck or at least that i can get wasted and not care anymore!

Amnesia...Right?
So, alright, I'll be the first to admit that I procrastinate - but apparently I am figuring out that homework actually needs to be done. I know, right? After reading my new unexpected-favorite book series repeatedly, I finally got back to school in my CEO position and decided that THIS semester.. will be different....HAHAHA ya right, like I haven't said that before. I know. Anyway, because of my 21 credits, job, and life I have chosen to make sure that no (or at least very few) homework assignments go undone - or late. This is of course, keeping in mind that I have to remember to finish up a very important class from last semester..So, we will see how well this new plan will go - probably not very well, but we will see.
Wow, if I had posted this where I initially left off, it would have been like two sentences... actually more than two- maybe four or so. Today has been so busy, I have been moving non-stop and here I am at 12:30am working on my blog while my homework page loads, sad-sad day.
Here's what I don't understand... why do all my classes have an 'online component?' do teachers really think that this helps the students? NO, all it does is make things, like turning in assignments harder... because instead of just handwritting a quick assignment in my spare time, I have to take time out of my already packed schedule to get settled in with my computer and type for 20 min- an assignment that would normally take 5 min.. Jerks! Just because computers are awesome doesn't mean that they have to be used for everything in life. Sure, I could just as easily call up my friends and vent about computers and stupid D2L, but I'd rather sit down on my futon with my computer in my lap and my door open to keep an eye on my residents and type up a little post for my friends (mainly Sharon) to read on their own time. But wait, I'm doing what I want teachers to do... let me write my damn assignments when I have time! It is so much easier to find time to sit down with a pen and paper than a computer with internet connection, especially in brick and cynderblock buildings in which wireless does not effectively navigate (trust me, i know... we have had countless problems with routers this year already).
Ah, the good 'ol days of having free time, I barely remember what that phrase means anymore - its like an ancient term in an ancient language... "free time?" What is that, where did it come from, how did people do it??? I don't know... but I want it back.. Grr...
Have Fun!!
