Long day... 

still feeling overwhelmed with all the stuff i have to do. slowly drowning in post-it notes and to-do lists. on the plus side, we corrected that damn paper and resubmitted it. if we don't get an A this time, i'm gonna have to throw down. i may be in a tiny little body, but i pack a mean punch.

classes were crazy today. i got registered with only a minor screw up. got it all fixed before noon. both my classes today were with the same prof. not a good thing in general. i'm in both classes with 2 of my friends, and another one joins us for the night class. it was weird... the prof noticed right away during the break in the first class that the 3 of us were always together. he didn't seem happy. we told him that he'd see us again that night... definitely did not seem happy at all. what gives? well whatever. oh, and we have a group project in the morning class, so we're all in the same group, and a partner project in the evening class, so we partnered off the 4 of us. wonder how he feels about that (not that i really care). it's good to have friends. so anyway, we get into the first class and he starts spewing something out at us. we all look around at each other like deer caught in headlights, desperately trying to figure out what the heck we're supposed to do and how. later, he slowed down and went through it at a more humane pace, but i still need to sit down with the syllabus and a pen and very very slowly read what we're supposed to do EXACTLY. sheesh. never a good sign. the evening class was similar but at least we were a little more prepared to be overwhelmed.

sadly, we spent the entire break between classes fixing that stupid paper and printing out ream after ream of readings and lecture notes for both classes. sadly, we still need a couple hours tomorrow to get the rest done. if i get lost in the class, the prof will always keep my attention. there's a certain resemblance to milton from office space, and his style of asking questions is similar to the teacher on ferris bueller. anyone? anyone? blah. we're allowed approximately 2 seconds to respond before he accuses us of not knowing anything. yeah buddy. i almost started laughing at one point in the class because of this combo. oh, and the one guy in our class very emphatically nods his head in agreement with the prof like a gigantic bobble head... or like an ostrich that's bobbing wildly up and down before it attacks. it's kind of hypnotic in a funny way. ah yes, i'm in such a kind mood tonight. glad to see i'm back to my tales of grad school miscreance? well sorry for the lack of daytime reading, but i had to get up at 7 and didn't get home till around 8:30. oh well... i trust you all coped well enough.

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
