well, my week of hell ended and now i have a much simpler week ahead of me... although wednesday is the WEPT test and i am a little anxious about it since i have 14 pages of information to read for my topic, which is "homeschooling". the WEPT is the written english proficiency test. basically its UMKC's way of proving to the state of missouri that their students know how to write a critical paper with MLA citations. i know how to cite, i just sometimes have issues with making my papers "flow" well.

because, well... you've read my blogs LOL. im all over the place.

i shouldnt be so hard on myself. my last 2 papers in college sophomore english i receieved 2 perfect 100% on. :) i was beaming. one was a 6 page paper and the other was an 11 pg. i pretty much rocked it :) so i hope i can do the same on this paper. i will go in at 2:30 on wed and have 3 hours to write and cite. i say bring it on.

the rest of the week wont be so bad, school wise. i have 3 projects i have to work on for my design classes and finish by next monday. one is for my typography class and the topic is the kansas city plaza lights ceremony, which if you are from KC is kind of a big deal. so i am looking forward to it. the skill we are implementing in it is "fustion" which fuses the text into the photos or images and basically makes it so the image and text need each other for the piece to work. i have some ideas but need to get to work on them. my other 2 proj are for GD2 are the dean of college of arts and sciences' xmas card contest... and a 12 page brochure--- this one is a fucking doozy. i have great ideas and ill admit i have made some rockin' brochures in the past :) so i think this proj will go great for me. those are my LAST 2 proj for GD2. im glad there is an end in sight. :) tomorrow i have advising with paul tosh, and i need to print my transcript for him. im also going to bring my portfolio because he's never seen it AND i am hoping that he will excuse me from taking foundations in 3D design. i dont need that class, im too advanced for it.

we are starting a new chapter in french. i cant believe ive pretty much re-learned everything in 4 years of high school in only 11 weeks of college french. it makes me wonder how fucking awesome im going to speak french once i finish my next 2 semesters of it.

and of course my other class, logic... its going ok, but not good enough. i am understanding HOW to do them, i just need to memorize the 20 rules and the named of those rules.. thats the tough part. we have a text NEXT monday. and i HAVE TO get a B. HAVE.TO.

this of course is all pending my health. ive been living with matt who has had h1n1 symptoms in my home since last wednesday, but was diagnosed friday. hes on day 3 of tamiflu. so far, i havent had any symptoms BUTTT... right now im feeling pretty tired and i cant decide if its from daylight savings time (it was dark at 6pm people!!)or what. my nose is only a little runny and my throat feels a little ... thick. but im ok otherwise. im really hoping it completely bypasses me. i have been a freaking sanitizing machine since last thursday. i mean at one point i was wiping matt down with some lemon scented SCRUBS from work, haha. ive been very careful because we are a couple who shares everything... drinking cups, utensils, handtowels, blankets... the other day sat we were laying on the floor (quarantined. we didnt go out for halloween) and he licked my fingers. i went, "maaaattt...." and he goes, "ohh crap. i forgot" and i had to get up to sanitize. LOL.
im surprised ive been living with it in the house since last week and i havent gotten it. i dont want to jinx myself or anything but maybe i wont. wish me luck with that. i have to say though, our experience with it has been that it sucks but isnt like youre on your death bed or anything. matt had a sore through wed, thursday was the worst day: HIGH fever, chills, aches... i was really worried thurs nite. i went on a cleaning spree, friday he went to the dr and was diagnosed and started meds. he was mostly achey all day. infact his fever at the dr was gone, he was 97 degrees. too low, so he was obv. sick. but at least not a fever. and yesterday it was mostly "coughy". today it is coughy too. his aches are gone, its just shallow breathing and coughing.

i still dont want that shit though.

in other news... i need a part time weekend job. my current job is going really well and i can work all the extra hours i want but its hard to with school and i cant work weekends. i basically work 11:30-5 or 5:15 on tues and thurs, then on fri i work 7:30-4... but like friday i worked until 5:30. and i can log on from home so thats good. but only when i can do things from home. thanksgiving week il be working fulltime- that will be NICE! and then same for when i get out of school for xmas vacay. cant wait for that. :) but i really want to have some extra dough for xmas. i was going to save my check from BkMk Publishing for the book cover but looks like ill be cashing it tomorrow for rent money. matt covers my butt so much and never complains. i even ask him about it and it doesnt bother him, but inside myself i feel guilty. i know im in school and it wont be long until i can contribute to everything again. i just really feel like i need to do more. im looking for a part time job, but most places want me to work during the week too, which i cant do. i even went to some restaurants and they want people who can work week-day shifts, not just fri/sat/sun. ive heard bath and body works at the mall is hiring so i better go check that out. im sure people are hiring for holiday workers too so i should get on that.

well i better close and get to making jewelry!!! my craft show is THIS saturday! :)


ps, heres the cover to the book i designed... ill post more pics when i have them in-hand.

need a moment to vent

so stressed.

i am working on logic homework. then i have to get ready for work and go to class. then go to work. the sit at work and thinkaboutalltheshitihavetodo FOR SCHOOL but cant cuz im at work. i will, however, print some stuff from work. once i get off work i have to go to an interview at WALMART for a parttime weekend electronics person. i already dont want the job. i applied a month and a half ago and my schedule has since changed so i bet they wouldnt even hire me since i only want to work sat and sunday mornings.

after that i have to go to town on my beer project. i am printing my labels at work. then i have to layout my packaging (the box) and figure out my 3 ads. ill prob print the 3 ads in the morning unless i can whip those up fast.

yes i sorta waited until last minute but not really. we didnt have a ton of time for this proj, plus im working on 3 other projects at the same time, plus doing homework for a 5credit hr class french class, (which means 5 hours outside class u know), and logic and working...

mostly stressed because i have my beer stuff due tomorrow though. and french test tomorrow night.

ok homework time.
