Anyway, today is a beautiful October day, especially for this area. It's cool, but not cold, sunny, bright blue skies, crisp leaves, and full of an "autumn" feeling. Maybe it's because I was born in fall, but there is just something so optimistic to me about early to mid fall. The weather's finally cool, it's bright, it's beautiful, the leaves are drifting down and turning colors -it's beautiful! The only part I don't like is that it gets dark too early. When it's dark out, I can't get a thing done.
But today has been a kind of weird day, too. To start off, there was fog on the west side of the river. There's usually not so much fog on the east side (where I live), but man, coming in to downtown today, I could really see it. Ross Island was lost!
See what I mean? Fog! It was really cool, but it made for a chilly morning. I didn't get a picture of it, but there was also a frost on the grass as I walked to my bus stop! I guess the east side is colder than the west side and therefore more prone to frosting. Heh! Back in my home state, we'd normally be cooling down, or even had some snow by now, but not this year I guess. Considering how rainy it was this weekend, maybe it's cooler here than back home!
Not speaking of, but moving to, school, my classes are divided. My calculus class is enjoyable (for now) and I'm not too lost yet. I got 8.5/10 on the quiz last Wednesday due to a dumb mistake. Oops! But, I did better than average -I did median! I want to have confidence in myself, and enjoy this class. The teacher is so likable that it helps.
My senior project is a blast. I love working with kids, I love being outdoors, I love moving around and exploring nature. The class project is even shaping up to be kind of interesting. My professor in it -although he hates to be called professor, haha- is very nice, down to earth, that kind of thing. My classmates are pretty cool people, although unfriendly me never knows what to say!
As for my film class....UGH! I hate art, and I have a whole rant explaining why that is so. Ok, so I don't hate art, but I definitely hate art critics. People always trying to put meaning where there is none, or projecting their own ideals into something that maybe doesn't mean what they think it does. I find art to be inexact and frustrating. For my film class, I think there are film snobs in there, and that irritates me. But worst of all is that so far, I've been bored out of my friggin mind! Wendy and Lucy was a boring and dumb movie about a homeless lady who loses her dog. White Mane is a horrible story about a boy and wild stallion who die (maybe). In any case, writing about those was painful and I pouted and threw a fit. In the end, I wound up writing about why I didn't like the movies....
So now that I have some free time to kill, I'm here in the computer lab. Two hours til class starts. Um. Yeah! I think what I am going to do is see what classes I need to graduate, yet, and see when I can take them. I do this once or twice a term, about every 2 1/2 months. I get so impatient. I want to graduate, and I want to move on with my life. But I can't stop planning everything out, even if I want to. In any case, I'm gonna go do that. LOL
