Right now, I'm just sitting around in my room. Waiting for tomorrow. I've been waiting for a while now. Thursday was the last day of class, which went well, though it was very long. I had been up until 4:30 that morning doing homework. So after 4 hours of sleep, I went to breakfast, chapel, and class. Computer Art was okay... I did a group presentation on exhibiting artist books. Then we listened to a group speaker from the Publications Office talk about using type. Blah. I just wanted to sleep. We got our first project back, and I am VERY pleased. She took three of my images to photograph for the school archives. When I get those back, I need to photograph them for my personal archive. Now I need to figure out how to display them so I can enter it for the student summer show. I'm also excited that I figured out how I will print my book. It will only take one sheet of paper for each edition, which is very financially pleasing. We got out of class very early, which is good because I ate my lunch very slowly that day. I did everything a little more slowly on Thursday... After lunch, I went to the dreaded debate, which actually did not go that badly. I participated, which was the most important part. And I got to talk to some people in that class that I haven't really met yet. I also (finally!) got my history exam back, and I am relieved to know that I did better than I had hoped for. Thursday night was the Solly/Bittner dinner, which consisted of me starting dinner preparations at 4 or so. And then crashing on Corrie's couch while I waited for the lasagnas to bake. But after much running around, we were able to start dinner around 6:30 (though the dinner was supposed to start at 6...) The food was really good, and I think that everyone enjoyed it. What was a little frustrating was doing all the work and not really getting recognized for it. I know that's not the point of doing things for others, but it would have been nice if I received some thanks for putting things together. However, I will hopefully be receiving $5 from everyone to pay me back for the groceries I bought to make the dinner... Anyway, after the dinner I ended up just hanging out in Corrie's apartment and beginning to read for history. The book that I have to read, though VERY long and about history, is not as bad as I thought it would be. It's all oral history, so people's first-hand accounts of their experiences in World War II. Some of it is humorous, some of it traumatic and profound. I'm just hoping I can finish it in time. In time, Corrie, Jeremy, and I were sitting in her living room IMing each other and laughing to no end. But soon, Corrie got sleepy and Jeremy and I headed back to Bittner. But on my way across the bridge to my floor, I saw the rest of Bittner staff below and hurried to join them. We soon were headed for a diner, where we were eventually and randomly joined by other friends from school. And then my pre-break bad luck hit when we returned to campus. I tried to switch the child lock off, but pushed on the wrong thing and broke Becky's door... UGH. I've been frustrated with myself for the past day now. But I have found out that Trent was able to fix it, so now I don't feel so bad. But still, it was quite embarrassing and frustrating to think I might have irreversibly damaged someone else's car... The car that we are supposed to drive down to St. Augustine, FL for Spring Break. It is so close... Just a few hours from now (and by few, I mean 13 hours) we will hit the road and head for Florida. Four of us are going to Anastasia State Park to camp about a mile from the beach. It'll be the first time that I am doing something fun for break (with the exception of this year's J-term break, which didn't exactly pan out), so I am pretty excited! And my parents will be coming down to Florida so we can celebrate Easter with other relatives. I'll be interesting to see how everything goes, and hopefully it goes extraordinarily well! Hope everyone enjoys their Spring Break!
