I've spent a good portion of my weekend doing homework. Did my literature midterm, which wasn't that bad except for the fact that I wasn't feeling particularly inspired. Oh well, happens sometimes. At least it's done. I have a physics exam on Tuesday. It's really up in the air as to how well I'm going to do. I don't know, I mean, sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't. Especially optics. Screw sign conventions, that's what I say.
The exciting thing is that I think I'm going to get out of Parkland with a 4.0, which is kinda neat. Actually, I'm pretty proud of the fact.
I've been doing a little private tutoring for speech. It's actually a little exhausting. It's not coaching the delivery, it's the speech writing, which is annoying only because I feel like I'm doing a lot of the work, but I try to get her to get into it. Anyway, I'm doing that later this afternoon, right before I go to work. I think I'll go to the library in the mean time. I should probably study more physics, but my brain doesn't really appreciate that idea.
Last night I went to a musical. It's called "The Last Five Years." It was really good, I thought. It's a modern musical, with just two characters. I thought it was pretty thought-provoking.
I recently downloaded a song by Jason Mraz called "I'm Yours." It's his new single. I really like it. I also downloaded Coldplay's new single, and a song by Ryan Adams called "Come Pick Me Up." Good songs, all of them.
Hard to believe that I start at the U of I next month. Just one month! Crazy. I have no concept of how different it will make my life, I just know that it freaks me out a little. You know, I have a niche at Parkland, and I'm very comfortable there. It's difficult to imagine anything else. Ah well, should be good, in any case. Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I want to quit at Barnes and Noble and do the federal work study. It seems to me that it would make more sense, at least as far as taxes go, but I'm really loathe to finish there. Maybe I can still stay on for the Sunday night shift or something. We'll see. Maybe it would be good for me to make the break complete, new school, new job, you know? Scary shit.
Alrighty, well, my arm is tired, so I'm off.
