Feb. 20th, 2007 06:21 pmI'm on campus with no real desire to go home just yet. I'll have to in about twenty minutes, though. I'm supposed to record Gilmore Girls tonight and didn't have time to set the tape up before I left.
My weekend was extremely unproductive. I had a paper to write and the apt to clean for cleaning checks. Can I just say I think cleaning checks are stupid and retarded? I'm going to clean when I want to clean, but because I know in the middle of the month I have to clean, I put it off until the middle of the month because what's the point? Really, I'm an adult, I know when my room needs to be cleaned, thanks. It also always comes at exactly the wrong date which just pisses me off further. Truly, I hate cleaning checks. In the meantime, we failed it today because we had no desire to clean up. I'm about done, just have to finish up a few dishes then clean up the bathroom, which is never too bad.
In the meantime, I did actually get my paper written, but it was a two hour job. I would've given it more, but I really couldn't think of a topic. I stared at my notes all weekend trying to find a topic, and I just couldn't think of a good one! This is Dr. Walker, he thinks very highly of me, and I wanted to give him a good paper. Well, I thought my end two hour result deserved a low B. He thought it was a middle grade B. He was amazed that I would give it a lower grade than he would and thought that showed that I was actually thinking about what I wrote and not just putting any old crap down on the page and that I showed some editing skills (though admittedly I don't totally see how). He also said it was an A idea, but I needed more details, and after I told him it was a matter of taking too long to choose a topic, he was so excited that that was my main problem. When he asked me what I was thinking of doing after school, I told him creative writing and hew as disappointed because that meant he had no where to send recommendation letters to. I told him grad schools would be good! =D He also offered to look over my fiction writing any time I wanted him to. I told him briefly that I attended a writing group every week and thought that was great, and requested that I actually bring my stuff to him to look over. DUDE! What an offer! That, my friends, made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I also told him that my dad said hello and after I said my dad's name was Jeff he could actually remember him. "White/blond hair, tall, glasses. Yeah, I can totally see that you're his daughter now." He had my dad in his Tolkien and Lewis class as an undergrad nearly 30 years ago. I swear that man is a genius...
Haha, can I say I love eHarmony? I don't do any couple matching on there, but it might be my favorite online personality test. I retook it and compared it to the one I took as a freshman...it's fascinating to see how the two are so completely different and yet so obviously the same. I convinced Kendra to take it, too, and we realized just why we get along so well. I don't know, I think it's fun looking at that sorta stuff.
Academy of Art University is calling me again to see if I still want to register. I DO I DO I DO, but guys, I can't afford you. Besides, I'm not going to transfer now. But I was assigned a counselor, so I think I might call her and see if I can just take some random summer classes. The timing for their summer classes is almost perfect for the time I have off this summer. I could go home and stay occupied with a couple of film or liberal arts classes, and it wouldn't be that expensive for just one or two classes. I think the parents will dig it, and it means I'll come home, another thing they'll dig.
The housing hunt continues. It has been narrowed, though. I've discovered I don't just want a private room, I want a spacious private room. Therefore, most of the condos around aren't going to work. Sadly, I've narrowed it down to about three places: Riverside Condos, Old Mill, and...CARRIAGE COVE! Yes, I'd move back to the old APT a 35 minutes walk to campus. But the more I look at it...the better the deal looks. I look at how much most places charge for the size of their bedrooms and...not so much. Old Mill has bigger bedrooms, but the bathrooms freak me out. I might learn to like them, though... I'd love Branbury, but rumor has it they're on the verge of losing their BYU approval again. Riverside is the one place I haven't officially looked, but definitely need to.
Well, I successfully wasted 20 minutes. Now back home to record Gilmore Girls and study Hebrew verb forms and probably to do some writing =)!
