Seems like anything that could go wrong today, did. It sucked. I am really considering dropping the art class I am taking. I am in it with James and it is co-listed with an Arch. E class, and I am one of two non-Arch. E or Civil majors in there, and the other girl is an engineer at least. We did drawings today and I swear he was more critical of my stuff. He told me once to start over and just looked at mine really harshly, even though after I saw other peoples work, I did about the same as most of them (there were a couple exceptional pieces, but most were average like mine). It was weird because he even started the class by saying that details did not matter, these were quick sketches and did not need to look identical to the objects we drew, but show their general shape and dimension, and thats what I did. I am no artist, I do not like free hand drawing, I prefer things like drawing out house plans and ideas like that, which I hope we get into. I am sort of worried that he looks down upon me..but it was only the second day, I guess it is hard to tell already. I honestly thought I did pretty good on most of my drawings, especially after seeing others, but he made it seem like I scribbled or something the way he looked at them...I dunno, maybe I am just imagining it. I hope so. james really wants me to take the class with him. I also felt like I could not afford all the art materials, but when I told James that, he said last night he ordered them and paid for them online already. More incentive to stay. I just cannot get anything less then an A in this class. I could take Art Appreciation and have an easy A, do I really want to struggle for a B or a C when I am aiming for a 4.0? I am confused...

Other then that, everything was small stuff really. I feel irritable, but it is because I have not been able to sleep well lately. Hope the semester gets better, otherwise I already wish it would end...

I do get free Slice of Pie because I had above a 3.5 GPA last semester though, from Kappa Delta :) Yay!

So today was alot more exhausting then yesterday, but still ok. All my professors seem like funny people, so that always helps. My Macroeconomics professor is 73 years old and said he always wanted to be a comedian. He got off topic alot, and told stories, but I hate economics, so it helps. I have a 3 hour lab every tuesday and thursday, but today we got out early, thank god. My last class actually got out an hour early, we were there for like 15 minutes. Oh, and my Macro class should be shorter then an hour and 15 minutes, he said it should be about an hour at most, so thats good...too much econ at one time bores me to death.

James birthday is tomorrow. I plan on trying to take him out to dinner or something, but my stupid financial aid had a hold on it for some stupid reason. It should pay out tomorrow, which means I get it anywhere from 1-3 days direct deposited.

On other news, my cat went wild really early this morning. I heard her running, and things slipping and sliding around, and then she would growl. So I got up and she was playing wih James laptop power supply and some amrdi gras beads on the floor. I unplugged the power supply, and tried laying back down, but I could still hear her all morning. It was kind of funny, because she will run, and try to stop, but she slides on the floor across the room, and then she goes and does it over and over again. I had so much trouble with all that noise, and James is sick and was sort of snoring, so I barely got any sleep.

However, she was a bad kitty too. We had this really cool lamp that has a paper like cover over it...well the paper cover is no more. It was by the window, and it looks like she fell of the window and just tore the paper in half pretty much. I am not sure she did it, since it does not look like cat scratches, more like a person ripping it, but theres noone other then James who would have done it, and he swears he didn't. So looks like it was kitty's fault. Jame's sister gave us the lamp as a gift, brand new as a matching set. Oops.

So today went well. I guess I cannot complain. All I have is 2 classes, and they are both afternoon. I had Business 260 (Business Operations) at 1 PM and IST 141 at 2 PM. Both seem kind of cool actually. I will be learning stuff in them, thats for sure. I should learn alot of technical stuff as well as regular management issues. I might actually enjoy one or both of them. Even though Business 260 does include alot of statistics and economics, I should be fine I hope. I am aiming for a 4.0 this semester, came close last semester, I had 4 A's and a C (damn Econ. Stat...GRR LOL).

I have chapter tonight. I know we are doing some voting on some officers, but I still hope it will be fairly short. I need to get my butt in gear and plan some non greek socials, since I am now the non-greek social chair. I am fairly excited about that, but not sure who to contact. So if any of my non-greek friends could pass on their RA's names, I would appreciate it :)

Hope everyone else had a good first day. Tomorrow is my rough day now. I go from 11 AM to 4:45 straight through...should be fun *sarcasm*. I have a three hour lab, but it is with James and it is architectural design, which I love (my dream job is to be an architect, well ok my second dream job, the first is to work with animals, but I found it out too late to start school all over again). I am a freak who loves designing houses and buildings from the ground up, but I hate engineering, so thats why I am not an architectural engineer.

Well thats all for now, need to get some stuff done before chapter as well as eat dinner, so I will see some of you later at chapter, the rest of you, we need to meet up sometime this week for a late night trip to Denny's or something :)

Not much to say really. Well I do, but will not bore you with a long entry today LOL. I will only have internet today, maybe a little tomorrow and then have to wait until January 3rd for it again at 3 PM when it gets hooked up in Rolla. Yay for moving back to Rolla! i am actually excited about classes coming up. Sure, some of them will suck, but I am excited to be back. I got my semester grades and got 4 A's and a C (Statistics, I hate that stuff, found out one of my classes this semester will be alot of statisitcs too.). So I have a 3.6 GPA for the semester. It helps alot for my overall GPA. I had a semester where I had like a 1.8 semester GPA, and finally getting it back up. My overall is a 2.8 now. Do good this semester and I will have a 3.0 :)

Christmas was good. Stressful but good. We had some fights with people, but overall, things worked themselves out. I like Christmas for giving presents to people and I think it went well. I got some nice stuff too. I do not expect much anymore really. My family is rather poor, and my mom has to buy for my little brother, along with my two neices and a nephew. Its more important to me for them to get an awesome Christmas, so I do not want her spending so much on me. I had awesome Christmases as a child, because we were better off, and its a struggle to give them half of what my sister and I got as it is. I do not expect a whole lot. Got some nice things for our house though from my family and James family. His step mom got us a HUGE couch and some other furniture thats nice.

Hope everyone else had a good Christmas. Looking forward to being back in Rolla...long week ahead of us. Lots of moving on our part.
