GO TEAM

DONE. DONE DONE DONE. 15 typed pages of writing for two exams today, but I’m DONE. Ended up with 4 1/2 hours of sleep, got up at 6:15AM, left for school an hour later, an hour after that, parked my car and made my way to Exam #1. Done by 10AM (surprisingly), off to sleep [...]

Monday, Monday

Ahhh. First day of Finals Week. Why do I sound so relaxed, you ask? Because finals week means no classes, no driving to campus, no fighting traffic, none of that silliness. Well, almost. I was on campus today anyway to drop off my ad hoc form for Landscape Architecture, my independent study form (to get [...]

Covered

So today I would have taken the GREs… except I was in physical therapy (still three times a week) because I can’t sit for more than 45 minutes at a time. I’m kind (extremely) relieved, but I also know that I can’t put them off forever, unfortunately. As you might have guessed, autumn is in [...]

Fall Away

Tried to go for a walk around Pioneer Park today… didn’t go especially well, only made it 1/4 mile or so before my hips started hurting and my back became stiff. Ah well, it was a glorious, crisp autumn day and, despite my pathetic hobble, managed to get a few good shots in… how long [...]

Remember, Remember the 5th of November

Today started off by sleeping in, woke up and ran around taking pictures, made lunch, edited the photos, finally left for school in the pouring rain, parked on the street because I was meeting a friend for a late lunch, scuttled off to class and developed a MASSIVE craving for Indian food (we talked about [...]

Monday, monday

Today was kind of crazy stressful: up at 6 AM, work from 7-11:30, class across town from 12:30-4:30 PM, stops at both the library and the office to pick up my notes, finally home by 6 PM, a short nap, dinner, then Castle and off to bed – UGH. It’s days like today that make [...]

Happy Halloween!

We saw the cutest infant costume EVER today, at Bellevue Square: an 18-month old, in a stroller, dressed up as an OCTOPUS. AN OCTOPUS! I’m so doing that to my kids! Went shopping, found the perfect little black dress, a little blue dress, and a few business casual blouses to wear out with my slacks. [...]

Day Two

First American Art exam today… I don’t mean to sound over-confident but I feel pretty great about it. American Art and I just have some kind of strange, inexplicable rapport… Anyway, it was early 17th C portraiture through late 19th C landscapes, American Ruskinians/Luminists, Visionaries. Ryder, Inness and Blakelock aren’t exactly my favorite artists, but [...]

Misty mornings

Today was super stressful; worked from 9-1:30P, came home and ran around writing up my Landscape Architecture term paper outline and proposal, went to class, came home and watched the Forgotten then worked on my Landscape paper for American Art. For my landscape paper, I ended up viewing in person (for extra credit, yes) Frederic [...]

Tipping Toadstools

First of all, I’m sick. That sore throat/congested/sinus-infected ickiness. Pretty sure it’s not H1N1 but meh, who knows (who cares?) Anyway, today was just one of those days. Work was strange; inconsistently busy and alternately quiet, everyone was pretty much on edge. It was just unfortunate. Meanwhile, it was raining like none other – lakes [...]

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head…

Autumn is officially. Okay, today kind of just sucked. I watched the sunrise! From the drive thru window. Grrr! Woke up on the wrong side of dawn to go to work; came home, ran around, skipped class because it was raining like WHOA (yeah, just like that) so I stayed home and slept then caught [...]

Of Hippodamian grids…

Today was another lazy kind of day; didn’t have class until 4:30 so I hung around, caught up on laundry and did some reading. On the ay home, dropped Alanagh off at the park and ride only to find that some rude POS parked at such an angle that he hit her car with his [...]

LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!

Class, faculty meeting (I was told not to bother applying to graduate school until I knew exactly what kind of career I want to pursue — as if any graduating senior knows what they’re doing – UGH!), more class, and then a FREE SCREENING of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE a whole TWO DAYS before [...]
