Gaaaahhhh! ...and then some.

Yeah, this week's title is "The Scream" (and I don't mean that in a funny way).

Everything just about fell flat on its face or felt flat on its face. Despite the overwhelming over-current of weird, it seems there were some really genuinely nice moments.

Sitting talking with Danielle, Vicki, and Dustin outside of the AB building at school; getting an A on my Philosophy paper, even though the prof made it sound as though I were going to get a bad grade (there were only two A's in the class);
having Sherry tell me that someone she knows is interested in meeting me;
being able to spend some quality time with my good friend Kimber-Kimber-Kimberly, we had fun despite school; watching "The Devine Secrets on the Ya Ya Sisterhood" with Mom and Laura; eating a very un-fat-free-or-sugar-free cherry pastry for dinner last night as well as drinking quadruple-strength decaf coffee with creamer and sugar to match (a last ditch effort to stay up late-long enough to finish the three papers that were due this morning); Talking on the phone with my wonderful, wonderful friend Madonna, whom I love and love; and probably sleeping... the thing I did the least, though I enjoyed every minute of it like a sip of cold water on a hot, dry, dry day.

*Sigh* all those wonderful things make my week sound fantastic. Here is an excerpt from a letter to a friend describing Thursday, which pretty much sums up the week:

"Today at school I forgot my lunch and my cell phone at home... that was the start of a mixed bad and good day. First class, Speech was ok; well actually it wasn't bad at all, but it was a class. After Speech I have a nice long lunch break (with no lunch, but Danielle and I went to Subway, where I got a foot-long so I could have lunch and dinner. Yum soggy sandwich for dinner). After lunch I got my Philosophy homework back with an A! Yay! I had been so worried because the instructor had made it sound as though I were going to get a B again. Then Yoga, that was too horrible for words. We had to do some sort of weird freestyle dance/yoga thing. I hate dancing anyway and felt like a total idiot the whole time. Grrrrrrr. After Yoga comes Government. In Gov. I found out that we have a whole lot more to study for the test and it wasn't a very good review at ALL. Now I have to study AND work this weekend. Bummer. But we got out early today so I had an hour and a half to eat my other (soggy) half of the sub-sandwich.

Art class went fine and then I came home to a bunch of phone messages that I couldn't return because it was too late in the evening and three papers that I can't possibly write in one night, that are due tomorrow. *sigh* So instead I am relieving tension by typing this out to you :) "

Despite how it sounds, I guess the good in the first part of the post outweighs the bad by virtue of its very, very goodness. All those little breaks helped me not to feel like my life is one monotonous chain of flatness and fatigue.

Anyways, enough's enough and I've had enough.

So, goodnight faithful readers; thank you for your patience and understanding. I shall try to be less depressing in my next publication.

Yours,
Christine
