Back to school

filed under ladyamedeus, school, to do

Ladies and gents, I have returned. There is much to be done between now and mid-December.

Classes will end.
Two papers to write.
One Final to pass.
Two portfolios to compile/complete.
Four books to read.
At least 30 poems to comment upon.
Marriage Equality Week details to nail down.
Bills to pay.
Textbooks to order.
Club meetings to attend.

Also, here’s my final class schedule for next semester. I thought about changing it around, but I don’t really want to. I didn’t get into one of the classes I originally wanted, but it’s not a huge loss since (1) I’m taking another class with the same professor and (2) now I can, without bias, ask the professor and the class to participate in Marriage Equality Week. (The class was Eng160, Courtship to Hook-up, in case you were wondering.)

Mondays
11:00 – 12:20 Progressive Era Debates (His420)

Tuesdays
09:00 – 10:20 Renaissance Lit. (Eng202)
12:00 – 01:20 History Workshop (His360)
01:30 – 04:20 18th Century Women’s Lit. (Eng464)

Wednesdays
11:00 – 12:20 Progressive Era Debates (His420)

Thursdays
09:00 – 10:20 Renaissance Lit. (Eng202)
12:00 – 01:20 History Workshop (His360)

Fridays
Zip (free all day, at least when it comes to classes)

And yes, thank you for pointing that out; I already know Tuesdays are going to be a bitch. If I do well this semester and next I may take five classes next fall. At this point, though, I don’t want to fuck up something good.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy (slightly belated) Thanksgiving, everyone!

And Bobby, I got your phone message. Sorry about not calling you back, but you know how I am with phones. Thanks for calling anyway.

PS: Sorry, Mom, for missing the Thanksgiving Day parade. Bennett’s a jerk like that. But I found out (too late, of course) that the best part is watching the balloons being blown up the evening before the parade anyway. There’ll be other years, and I’ll get pictures next time; I promise!

Thanksgiving Break

I’m off to Thanksgiving Break in Manhattan with Bennett and his family. I won’t be around or easily available until Sunday evening. I’ll have my cell, so if there’s an emergency you need to let me know about, I’ll know before I return to school. Otherwise, I’ll see you on the flipside.

These related quotations (found on Bunny and Angela’s facebook “Walls”, respectively) seriously made me laugh out loud. I love my Bunny.

Angela (on Bunny’s facebook Wall)

RUNS UP AND DUMPS A BOWL OF SALAD ON YOUR HEAD!!!
…runs away!

Bunny (replying to Angela on Angela’s facebook Wall)

And the salad bowl is like…
NOT again……

HAHAHA! I literally cracked up when I read that. I love you, Bunny and Angela!
