"A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow." - Charlotte Bronte
Another weekend has slipped by, and I have failed to blog.
Yet another catch up is below.
Friday:
Writing for the Media class - digressed to discussing shorthand.
Talked about how Mrs. Ball can read/write it.
Discussed how it is a lost art.
I said we should have a shorthand class.
Class adjourned.
A girl in the class from Nigeria asked me who it was I had said knew the language.
I hurriedly told her (I have a class in 7 minutes that is a long ways up the Promenade).
She begins to tell me about her shorthand class in high school, etc.
I really needed to go, but Someone told me to stay and listen.
And I did.
I think she just needed someone to talk to; she is a long way from home.
Sabbath:
Church cancelled due to snow/ice.
Made omelets with Katie.
Took photos for Depth of Field project.
Held doors...again.
Ordered pizza.
Went to pick it up.
Delivery man took it by accident.
They doubled our order.
We have a lot of leftover pizza.
Watched Hairspray with Katie.
Today (Sunday):
Homework.
Reading.
Homework.
Reading.
Homework.
Reading.
Photo lab.
3 hours later, scratched result.
Have no idea how it happened.
Neither did two lab assistants.
Have lame picture to turn in.
Probably won't get any dots.
Whatever.
And so, here I am.
Depressed.
Discouraged.
Restless.
Worn out.
Fed up.
Bleh.
It has been less than a month this school year, and I'm already discouraged.
Is that pathetic?
Yeah, probably.
But I can't help it.
I am usually a very positive, extroverted person.
So when things go wrong, it sends me down fast.
Such is the lot in life for a part-sanguine.
I hope for a the ridiculous: for things to go right at all the time.
That will never happen until we finally get out of this world.
Only when we are finally free from the constant oppressive struggle.
I am just ready to go home.

Keep your chin up Rachel. By the way....I think it is really cool that you are in Writing for the Media. Mrs. Ball is an amazing teacher...I have taken two classes from her. Looking forward to Writing for the Media when I get back to SAU next year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathan :)
ReplyDeleteYeah - it is a required class for my major, but I think I will really enjoy...I am so far, anyway lol
I am actually taking it from a new teacher this year, Lynelle Ellis - she is really knowledgable. I have had Mrs. Ball twice though, so far, and of course she is amazing.
