I'm on DA again so that means I get to complain.... I don't feel to bad right now considering the mess I'm in, so I promise this won't be all gloomy and depressing; as I know my later journals have been just that. It is currently Monday morning, 9:30ish, I'm working my shift in the mailroom with Amy and Wanda, the best boss ever. Been here since 7:45 this morning, would be digging myself back into the ever growing pile of finals homework I have, but the file I was going to work on is uh... not here. So basically I'm going to have to wait until I can go home and rescan it. -.- I'll be up late tonight, that is for a certain. Continuing, I have begun my second to last week of school. You paying attention? Okay because this is crucial here... At my school and probably ALL art schools, everything is due the second to last week, not the last, and I mean EVERYTHING. Also as I'm sure you all know this means projects, not exams, unless you have some liberal arts classes. The reason for this is so you can get your projects back the last week, or so your teacher has time to put them in the show. The deadline is always right before the start of the last week of school because everything needs to get hung up before that week. My point is, I'm swamped. The good news is its not getting to me as much this time and the reason for that was I was very productive this weekend. Thursday night after my 9:30 class got out, I'll admit I did nothing. That probably was a mistake, but come Friday I did much better. I met my group for AD and Graph team class and we got a lot done, but despite how long we worked we still did not finish. I came home around 10:30 and I didn't do much after that. Saturday I started working from the moment I woke up and kept going until 2:00 a.m. Took a break at 7:00 because some people invited me out to eat at Chipotle. Sunday was a bit slower, I was very tiered and I kept falling asleep then when I finally was going to go out to pick up my prints from Kinkos... i saw my car had been broken into. Someone smashed my drivers side window and stole my radio. For some reason this broke me. I had been trying to stay positive, but I didn't have time to deal with this. Plus still had to get a new tire for the car still since my flat. Have literally not had time when their open. Just really didn't need that, any week but this one. Well whatever, after crying to my mom about it, my dad came down and today he's going to take care of my car for me because I won't be able to all week due to my class and work schedule, I'm usually here from morning to night during the week and ESPECIALLY during finals. The labs are finally open 24 hours and trust me I'll be using that to my advantage. Before he came I went and drove my car shattered window and all to Kinkos anyways. Gotta do what I gotta do. School doesn't wait no matter what problems I run into in my life.... no it certainly doesn't. Damn it... After that I went to the grocery store, more to make myself feel better than anything and I called a friend. I got sushi, green tea, diet orange pop and oranges... All things that make me happy. Went home and ate my sushi and got to work. Still was up very late, but I can go many days without sleep I have found these last few months.

So that's the update I'm in the midst of finals and it's crazy. Since I have been pretty miserable up until recently I have found a few ways to really make myself feel better. And I dunno maybe if any of you guys are sad for what ever reason it can help you too. For Psychology class we had to write a little paper, you started by making a big list of things that make you happy. Then you choose your top 10 and write a little bit more about them. Well my point is during the last couple weeks when I was down I found that doing this with a friend out loud, who mind you was also upset, really helps. Ruth and I have been doing it a lot and really brightens the mood. And alas talking to friends of course which I have been doing a lot of lately. Talking about things to come over the summer is nice too, but it makes me anxious. Eventually I'm going to put a list of plans and things I want to do on here, but probably not until after this hellish week is over. When school is over I will also post up artwork hopefully and pictures. Until then though, See ya later!
