I think...

...that I've lost track of the number of papers I've written so far this semester (and it's still only January). Let's see if I can remember...

Theory: One essay, one journal question (2)

Poetry: Three exercises (3)

Music: One critique (1)

Okay, so that's.... six!? How did that happen? When I counted this morning I could have sworn it was just 4. Oh my goodness.

Not much to report...

...on the me front, lately. I've written 4 papers already, and I've only been in school for 3 weeks.

This is a close-up of my tasty dinner from the other night.

This is my tasty dinner. Cream of chicken soup, toast, and Steamables roasted red potatoes with green beans and rosemary butter sauce.

This is a close up of a little man that I drew on my Theory notes the other day.

These are my Theory notes. I just thought that they looked very nice and organized.

Pictures

Here are some pictures that I have taken lately with my new camera.

This is the necklace that Emma gave me for Christmas:

This is the new leather cuff that I got in my stocking:

This is a peek into one of the mini-cupboards of my jewelry box:

On Sunday, we went for a drive up the canyon. This is just a sample of the many pictures that I took. The rest can be found HERE

I don't know...

...what's going on. Usually I'm homesick for the first night and some of the next day, and after that I'm okay. But I still have this nagging lonely feeling and I really don't like it. I don't know what to do.

Also...

...there is a little secret surprise in my header photo. Well, it's not secret. But it's awesome.

Yesterday, January 4

Here is how it went down:

• 4:34 am - Woke up sweating and hot. Dozed on and off until...
• 7:00 am - Gave up and got up. Ate breakfast and got ready for the day.
• 9:00 - Intro to Critical Literature and Theory. Overwhelming number of textbook pages, all combined.
• 9:24-ish - EARTHQUAKE. Magnitude of 4.1
• 10:00 - Intro to Poetry. Only one book, and no writing of poems. Huzzah! Half of the people from my Theory class were in this class too.
• 11:00 - Spanish 1020. Half the people from Poetry were in here. Must be an English Major thing.
• 12:00 - I went to choir, but there was no choir because... I dunno, there just wasn't. Went home. Also, I ate ramen.
• 12:something - Apparently there was another earthquake, a 2.6 or some such, but no one felt it.
• 12:45 - Went to the bank so I could buy my textbooks later.
• 2:00 - Got lost trying to find my Biology class. Stupid PE Building. So messed up.
• 3:00 - Came home and fussed around a bit trying to organize myself.
• 3:20-ish - Borrowed Kelly's bike and went to get textbooks. Very much heaviness. Entered a drawing to win free textbooks, but I'm not crossing my fingers or anything.
• 4:00 I guess - Came home and tried to organize myself some more, but gave up because everything is in the syllabus anyway.
• 6:30 - Starving. Ate cereal.
• 7:00 - Katelin finally got home so we went shopping. Yay food!! My paycheck hadn't gone through yet, though, so I only had $18. I made it work with $15. I feel cool. Also, I didn't buy any crackers! GO ME! My goal is 3 meals a day, no more, no less. Let's see how it goes. I kinda failed today, but I can blame that on the fact that I didn't actually have any dinner foods at the time of my cereal-eating.
• 9:00 - Ate dinner and a SUCCESS brownie. Also had some chocolate milk.
• 9:55 - While watching Brian Regan, EARTHQUAKE!!
• 10:30 - Went to bed very traumatized. I don't like earthquakes. Listened to the world's most soothing song: Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair." *love*

Well, that was yesterday. I hope today is better.

I fail.

I've given up trying to do all sorts of cutesy daily blog things, because they never work.

In other news, I'm back in Cedar City. Spring Semester 2010 starts tomorrow. I feel strangely apathetic about it, but that might just be the homesickness creeping in.

Christmas break was...pretty good. We did Bethlehem, but I missed most of it because I had to work. On the bright side, though, I had a job! I might actually be able to afford textbooks now, which will be nice. Hopefully I don't have to buy too many, as I already have 2 that I'll need.

I feel bad because I can't remember a lot of the things I got for Christmas... My main present was a camera, and I took a gazillion-and-a-half pictures on Christmas day. It takes WAY too long to upload them to blogger, though, so I just put them on facebook. If you want to take a look at them, click here.

Last semester I took a yoga class, but over Christmas break I didn't do any yoga. Add finals week to that, and it's been an entire month since I did any yoga at all. My body is not happy with me. Thankfully I'm going back to yoga class on Thursday, woohoo!

I'll update on classes soon, I guess, once I find out what they're like and such.
