Still Adrift

Speaking.

it seems a lot has been going on lately. nothing of great importance, really. just hanging out and not doing any work. i really have this "no care" attitude right now. i could care a less about my homework, about getting to bed at a decent hour (went to bed last night at 3:45am and got up at 6:30), or anything really. i usually go through this every semester, but this semester it seems a little worse. plus it is bad because i have a lot of work that needs to be done. i honestly can not wait to go home for thanksgiving. i think it will give me a much needed rest and break.

i am a bit shocked at myself for staying up until 3:45am. by the time i fell asleep i probably got 2 1/2 - 3hrs of sleep. around 1am my room mate, a guy next door (the one i get teased about), and i went over to his place to watch a movie. wound up watching sleepy hollow on his lap top. by the time the movie was over and we watched a behind the scenes thing, it was after 3:30am. and saturday night i didn't go to bed until 5am and got up at 1pm or so. i'm thrown off just a little i think...

i register for classes this friday. i think i have my classes picked out, i just need to arrange my schedule. so far it looks like i am taking intro to production, film music, intro to women studies, pop culture and abnormal psych. i wanted to take audio production, but it is only at night and i do not want to do that again. i'm thinking i'll wait until next fall and maybe there'll be a day or evening class. 3 of those classes are GE and 2 are for my major. i should have 3 film classes...hmm...gonna have to rethink this. i've also been thinking about minoring in amercian studies. i guess if i am gonna do that, i should decide soon. i mean it applies kinda sorta to my major and i think it would be interesting. not sure what i could do w/that if the film thing doesn't work out. *ack* too much stuff going on! : )

music - 98 degrees - the hardest thing

i've had a lot on my mind lately and up until this past wed. or so all i was really thinking about was curt...(yeah, yeah i know what you're thinking...) but on wed. i found out that my dad has been having health problems again. it is nothing too terribly bad, but it's still enough to keep me worried. it appears that my dad has sleep apnea. i know that it is not *that* serious of a condition, but it's still a condition. and it looks like my dad will be having to use this air compressor type machine, as he describes it, for the rest of his life. and because of these new problems, he can't pass his physical to get the driver's license he needs so drive a fork lift or a big rig. he is missing work and looks like he's going to be demoted at work because of this, which is complete bullshit, and believe me, i have plenty to say about that, cause his immediate supervisor is a dumbass who has no common sense, but i won't get into that now.
the main reason my dad called me was to basically tell me that if i ever called them asking for help (money wise) that they probably couldn't help me. so, now i really need to budget my money, even better than i am doing now and i guess look for a job. the only bad thing about that is i really want to go home for 2 weeks for christmas and new years, and if i get a job i might not be able to do that, so i dunno.

in other news, 2 of my suitemates seem to think i like this guy next door, which i don't. they also seem to think he likes me, which i don't think he does. sure he comes over more often now, but that doesn't mean anything. it's not like he's here all the time. *shrug*

music: no doubt - don't let me down
