(Depressing, disgusting, and decidedly dumb post--that being the one from June SomethingthOrOther--is now the depressing, disgusting, decidedly dumb, and definitely deleted post. All applaud alliteration! ...'All applaud' as in 'all hail'...only...alliteratively.)_
Here I am, reveling in the insanity that is my life. No, that's not redundant with the blog title: while my personal insanity may come naturally, that does not necessarily mean that my life is insane--which it is--right now.
So I'm looking at what is potentially a very good year. I say "potentially" because I have the potential to make the most of a whole lot or to mess that "whole lot" up majorly. I've got some great classes with great people, only one teacher who I approach with a total state of dubiousness, and I have three of the best jobs in the entire world. I get to teach dance to a class of adults, who are the most fun students a person can ever ask for... that's honestly the high point of my week, perhaps only second to Sabbath and the college group meetings. Then there are lesser-high points (not low; just less high): Greek class is just slightly below dance, and that happens thrice a week. Going to the gym is always a high point. I always am much more ready to get into things after the gym.
I don't know if there are any low points. There are difficult points--mounds of Calculus homework; the exam (Calculus), quiz (Greek), and a homework assignment (Chemistry) due on Monday being just one example...not to mention the history assignment due tomorrow, the Greek exercises with which I must commit blackboard tomorrow, and a presentation I have for Tuesday... Oh, yeah, and the four-and-a-half hour chunk that I take out of my Fridays for dance doesn't help much. :P
I am thinking I will have to teach myself to study at night. I'm not very good at that; I get more done going to bed early and waking up in the wee hours of the morning, but I don't know if that will work out well with my job. I feel bad about waking up at 4 and turning on lights and possibly waking up my employer, whereas at home it was just my sisters and they could deal with it because they got too much sleep anyways (okay, so I'm not always that hard-hearted. At work, though, the rooms are pretty open, so if you turn on a light anywhere it affects just about anywhere else...) So my solution is to figure out how to study late into the night and deprive myself of sleep that way without consuming copious amounts of caffeine. (I wonder if that isn't impossible. We shall find out.)
Whoever you are, you must somehow watch the speech that Sarah Palin (As in, McCain-Palin '08) gave last night at the RNC. She's brilliant. I actually want McCain to win now. I mean, I always did, but mostly because I really don't want Obama to win. But I watch Ms. Palin and my feminist/Conservative side wants to pur with catlike contentment...and I want her in the White House as much or more as I didn't want Hillary there. Speaking of Hillary, I feel myself obliged to applaud her stellar performance and all her valiant and effective efforts towards paving the way for Alaska's Governor. I think the Dem's trump card (Obama being black) might have just been canceled out with the power of woman. Boo yah. The media won't see it that way, but whatev. Brilliant move on McCain's part in selecting a brilliant person. Enough of the politics. It was an awesome speech.
I shouldst go. I have work to do--calls to make, problems to scratch my head over, history terms to analyse, nouns to decline, chemistry to worry over... good stuff like that.
School's started.
Oh yeah.
I'll be keeping you posted.
(...hums innocently...)
Glad to see another post! Reminds me that I should finish one....
Yes, I don't think that the fact that there is a woman on McCain's team will make much difference because she is ultra-conservative. I enjoyed what I heard of her views but unfortunately it's the person who takes the middle ground (at least in speeches if not in policies) that wins ordinarily. That's at least what I've observed. I hate to speculate on politics however....
Thanks for putting up something new to read, Anna. *grin*
Hope your Calc exam goes well today.
*laughs* to studying late into the night. Last night Rachel, Nicole, and I were sitting round at half ten, complaining about how old we're getting because we can't stay up all night studying any more (not that I ever did that, but Nicole and Rachel both have--I guess that just means I've always been an old person).
Have fun dancing, friend.
