Administrivia

This week just needs to end. I hate having to deal with midterms, housing, and course registration all at the same time...

Midterms are finally done; I have one paper left to write tonight for Critical Approaches to Film, 6-8 pages, but it shouldn't be so bad. I think I may just be saying that to psych myself up for it...I was up until 5am this morning trying to get the work done for today. I just couldn't find any motivation to get the work started - it wound up being started around 12am. I need to find some sort of motivation for this academic stuff...I've been saying that for too long, methinks.

Housing is progressing...Trying to get Scott into housing is a challenge, and I'm not sure if its something to be optimistic about - I hear different things from different people. This new rule about not letting commuters into the lottery stinks; I can see the necessity, but it just stinks that its happening. I never meant to cause all the hubbub that it seems to be generating - Scott's a friend, and thought I could help is all... The resolution will come next week.

Course registration is a bright spot, at least. After finding out by accident last night from Shannon that my honors registration was this morning, I quickly mapped out a schedule. This was the first honors registration morning I didn't wake up at 5am to go down - I went down at 9, figuring, correctly, that the courses would still be open. I got the two I wanted - "The 60's: A Critique" and a "Drawing as Problem Solving" course. The second worries me, as I can't draw...its a skill I want to learn though, and the reviews of the class are fantastic. I can't wait.

Things keep looking up...93 on my film midterm...Just gotta keep perspective.

I'm going to take a nap now. If this was incoherent...eh; its written on 3 hours of sleep.
