Sorry, Shira.

I've had a wonderful couple of hours - the graphics for the last show have been approved, and it all pretty much went the way I wanted it to go.

*does happy dance*

I'm going home now.

That's alright D2. For all the bitching I do, I happen to be very appreciative of the life I lead, and I rather enjoy it for the most part!

Shira, darling, I'll be your partner in crime. My weekends are fairly dull.

Let's see. I went home yesterday, had a short mental breakdown due to school stress, ate my favorite dinner made by my loving mother, and then went to an orthodontist appointment this morning before coming back to campus.

And I got some sweet mail, too. So today was a mix of pain (teeth) and happiness.

Thanks DGG! Yay, let's wreak havoc. (After I write my paper.)

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:37pm

Good, because I have a philosophy paper and some German homework.

Oh God. I've been turning in essays for my Shakespeare class, and doing really poorly on them. It's got me in a slump, because I have no idea why the professor doesn't like them. I've got a meeting with him tomorrow night.

I'm doing a paper for my Shakespeare class! (The one I was supposed to do this weekend...Whoops?)

I'm glad you're talking to your professor - I'll have to talk to mine when I get my midterm back if I didn't do well, see what I can do to improve, etc...

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:44pm

I love my class. It's really interesting, and it's the only class I'm taking ,besides English, that relates to my major. I'm super upset that I'm not doing well. My first essay got an A-. After that, it just got bad.

I'm also depressed when I see all the music and art kids doing music and art (duh), because it seems like they're actually doing something. I feel like I'm still in high school, only more expensive.

College can certainly be difficult in the beginning. Especially with those ^#&^@(& required courses. How come you have 500 pages on early 17th century philosophy while your friend has to "write a solo guitar piece reflecting his soul"?

But when you really get past those classes and take the incredible ones that really change your life, it's all worth it.

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:48pm

I sure hope so. I got an e-mail from my dean the other day asking me to specify whether I'll specialize in Literature or Creative Writing. Why can't I just be both? URGH!!!

You should be able to, DGG!

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:52pm

My school makes us choose. I can't decide. Oh well. I think I have until next year to choose.

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:54pm

Eek. Choices. Scary!

I found an incredible PhD program. But I don't think I'd survive in Gainesville. Thoughts?

Posted: 10/20/08 at 6:57pm

Hmm. Well, you have to like where you're going for more than just the program. I've found that out. So think about how you'll feel if you can't get your morning coffee or something liek that every morning. I know a lot of kids here are suffering without their Starbucks.

I think Mount Sinai has a good program here too, so I'll look more into. Just random musings, nothing definite for awhile.

"I found that out"

You okay there?

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:13pm

No worries, I'm fine. Sometimes it feels too close to home, but I'm mostly happy.

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:19pm

No worries? I have all the markings of a Jewish Mamma except an actual child of my own. I'll worry!

Mostly happy is good. I like that.

Close to home? And people wonder why I flew 3,000 miles away...

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:21pm

Haha! I'll come visit and prove to you that I'm fine. I like my friends, and my boyfriend, and most of my classes. I could do without math, but I'm passing it with an A-, so I can't really complain!

I have all the makings of a Jewish mama, too. Minus the Jewish part, of course. It worries me terribly. I don't want to be good at being motherly. Then I won't have an excuse not to have children.

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:30pm

LOL, DGG.

Math? What? 2+2 = 22, right?

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:38pm

YEP!

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:38pm

Awesome. I knew I was always right.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 7:58pm

So Confused.

So, DGG is the Jewish mother without Children, and Shira is not willing to move to Gainesville?

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 8:00pm

Yup.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 8:04pm

OK - just wanted to make sure I caught up with the conversation.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 8:08pm

DGG, here's a good excuse for not having children: "I don't want any."

[shira467]

Posted: 10/20/08 at 8:09pm

LOL, YWIW. All good now.

Miss P - Very true.

I admit, I've always wanted kids, can't wait to have them. (I can wait, I promise, you know what I mean!). But I completely understand why so many people don't. They cry and they cost a lot, for starters.
