Well this is my first true entry in awhile. School has been taking up most of my time, that and sleep.
So classes started, I dropped Drawing II cause me and the teacher didn't see eye to eye. She tried to tell me I was doing everything wrong but there is no true right and wrong way about art, there are guidelines and technique yes but nothing can ever be truly labeled as not being art. Since I'm an art major I'll have to take it but I'll wait until a teacher I like teaches it. Next semester I'll have to double up on art classes. I think I'll try to take School Art and something else... they don't have the classes for next semester up yet.
Anyway! Other classes! Astronomy totally rocks, I love learning about the stars. Last night during our night lab I had to get up in front of the class and give a report over a magazine article I had read in Astronomy magazine. I wasn't nervous until that moment I looked out over the class, then my hands started shaking really bad. I looked at my professor and said, "You'll have to forgive me if this sounds really bad, I'm in Intro. to Public Speaking now." He said that was fine and I went on and gave my report. Apparently I had chosen an article that was really hard to understand, of course I knew this because I had read it but by the blank looks my classmates were giving me I wasn't the only one. When I went back to my seat Kelly told me I was breathing funny.
World Religions is a fun but boring class. Dr. Robinson is really funny and very VERY random. He tells the funniest stories, but most don't make any sense at all. I have a test tomorrow that I haven't studied for yet but I will. -crosses fingers- Here's hoping I will do okay.
And finally Intro to Public Speaking, Mr. Williams is a really great teacher and is totally dedicated to teaching about speech. He reads from a lot of past speeches, given by himself and by past students. He read one today that a student had given a little over ten years ago. It started with a very discreptive story of a woman who was beaten and had been placed in a closet with a chair holding the door in place so she couldn't get out, she had to use the bathroom and finally she lost control, the intro ended with "The woman in the closet was me." I wish I could have been there for the whole speech when she gave it, just from the intro I was blown away. Next week we are posed to start giving our own speeches. It makes me a bit nervous but also excited because I want to get better.
Now on to the sad news. Kel and I were trading notes in Astronomy on Monday and she wrote, 'I have something to tell you, but you might get mad.' My first thought was that something had happened with someone we knew from back home... or Brandon, I am over my crush on him but I still like him as a friend. He's started to pay attention to me again and I like it. Then she told me that she wasn't coming back after Christmas, she's going to return to JCC to get her degree in Physical Therapy. When she let me read it I drew a huge sad face that was crying and said, 'I'm not mad... but incredibly sad...'
After Kel leaves I will be so alone, I already didn't have a roommate but now I'll be without the only suite mate I get along with. Kristi and Laura are great but... I just don't connect with them. Hallie and I were talking about it last night over AIM and we discussed the idea of maybe after Christmas she could move upstairs to Kel's old room. We know we couldn't be roommates cause we would kill each other but I think we could handle being suite mates.
I'm going to miss Kel, she's the one I talk to most... I asked Hallie some silly questions last night about how my friends always seem to use me. I think my paronia about people is kicking in. I feel like no one actually wants to be my friend just because I'm me, but that they all want something from me. I want to believe this isn't true but at the moment it sure seems like it.
I'm sleepy now so I think I'll take a nap... then I need to study... oh! I got two new animes. Yami No Matsuei (a.k.a Decendents of Darkness) & Wolf's Rain. I'm really excited I can't wait until I get the chance to watch all the episodes. Okay... now sleep.
