It’s an update…As long as it works.

Well, for whatever reason, OD refuses to let me post my 3rd Application paper & my professors comments in the same entry…So now there are two, one for each. But I did manage to fix the stupid error it had that wouldn’t allow the note box to show up at all.

Anyway…Hopefully it will allow me to link to them.

The Human in Posthumanism
My Professor’s Comments

Rest of the college stuff:

Storytelling: I really need to get to concentrating & working on that…I have my 3rd story in 3 weeks & then the final 3 days later (in front of a room full of strangers in the café of the one bookstore).

Math: *headdesk* I have the bars cut out for the xylophone…Now I have to figure out how to stick them all together (they don’t make music, it sucks)…& I have to find a song, which I’m going to have to play for the class. & there is the writing of the paper, which must include a 3rd grade lecture on how the ear & sound works.
& on top of that, do my final…Which I’m wishing had been a normal final instead of a take home now. There is only 15 problems (which have multiple parts), but most of them are making my head ache.

World Lit.: I finished the outside reading book…Now I have to write an 8 page paper…I’ve got a few articles that I’ve read & taken notes on…So hopefully something is there. I may, or may not, have an opening paragraph. Thing is, my other English professor says not to open with a bunch of questions, especially those who don’t have answers…But…Considering the topic/theme…It kind of fits. I don’t know…Guess I’ll have to see if I can come up with the rest of it, and then worry about it from there.

ENG 216: O.o [Yeah, despite the fact that I’m all squee over the last paper I got back from there…I’m still a bit stress over the whole thing.] I’ve got one more 2 page Application paper due Monday. I’ve got most of the reading done (the last one wasn’t up on the website last I checked)…I think I know, more or less, where I’m going with it.
THEN…It’s the 14 page paper that is coming quickly to eat my soul. I’ve read article after article…I’ve got a semi-focused concept…I just don’t know how I’m going to manage 14 pages!

Critter Related Stuff:
It’s been Spring Break for them this week (& me, mostly, aside from having my 2 Grand Valley classes). They went with me when I had my classes.
We had been going to go skating Monday, but it was too cold.
Tuesday we stayed home and did nothing. *frowns* Not what I wanted to do…But that’s how it worked.
Wednesday…The State Theatre was offering free movies for Spring Break…Unfortunately didn’t know it was happening until the Friday before, & didn’t realize you could go get tickets beforehand. We were going to go see E.T. before class, but the tickets were already gone…We had planned to go back after class to see Monty Python…But those tickets were gone as well.
Instead…Ended up going to the regular movie, where it was tre expensive (& sooooo not worth it).
Thursday…Critters had dentist appts. Sonja came out all good, aside from needing orthodontics, as her one canine is refusing to descend & won’t without help. *sigh*
Harley has 4 tiny cavities in his molars, so I need to make him an appt. in T.C. *rolls eyes* to get them all fixed up. Blah.
Friday (today)…Another day of doing nothing…I hate that we haven’t been able to go and do anything. It’s too cold to go outside & enjoy nature (I miss the 80 degree weather we had…It should have been 80 for Spring Break *pouts*).

*pokes @ Saturday* I don’t know what is going to come of it. Harley has a ‘Men’s Breakfast’ tomorrow.  & I don’t know what Sunday is going to look like either.

Odds & Ends:
Mum spent Dominic’s birthday with me. We went and checked on the Letterbox @ Penny Bridge. It’s a replacement box, so the stamps that had been in it are gone…But this one is making up for it in it’s own way. Despite it being hidden good (it’s actually under the bridge), it gets found by a lot of non-Letterboxers. What is great is they still take the time to look & even beyond that, leave notes! The log book is filled with several messages that people have written in it.

Wasil…*sigh*
I love him dearly…But lately, I’ve had moments of wanting to strangle him.
He’s always been rather independent, which allowed me to just do my own thing as well…But…This injury…It’s had a not so good effect on him.

He has a herniated disc, and is in pain pretty much non-stop. He’s also realized that it’s not one of those things that ‘heal-up & go away’. I think it’s causing a bit of a ‘brush with mortality’…It’s also making him really clingy & needy. & he’s overly sensitive…& going to drive me completely mental.
I’m doing my best to be sensitive & supportive & caring & tell him I do love him and I’m not going to leave him, he’s not going to loose him…Everything I’m suppose to do.
There are times tho, I’ve just wanted to scream…I know what it’s like to be in pain 24/7! I know it sucks, but you can’t let it dictate everything. I’m in pain pretty much 24/7…I’ve learned to deal, without meds…Which he at least has…Even if they aren’t working 100% of the time.
& at least he knows what is wrong with him, & he’s got meds for it, & he’s going to be starting physical therapy Thursday…& hopefully it helps & things get better.
All I know is pain sucks & it’s there. I can’t afford to go get it checked out…I just deal with it. *sigh*

Yeah…That probably sounds bad…& I don’t mean it too…& I do love him & want to make it all better…But I can’t make it all better…I also know that if he lets it consume him it’s going to impede any getting better that might be able to occur.

I’m still planning on trying to go visit him in August. I’m hoping his mindset is better by then…Otherwise I’m going to strangle him & need to find a way to the airport.

Okay…The waste of money that was the trip to the movies. *rolls eyes*
& I’m sure that I will get all kinds of disagreement on this one…
As it was pretty much the only thing playing…We went and

see The Hunger Games. [I seen a headline on a magazine in a check out counter that read something along the lines of the movie was suppose to be better than the book…If that’s the case…The book had to of SUCKED big time.]
I don’t know…I just didn’t enjoy it at all…Maybe I didn’t go in with the right mind-set…But even if that was the case, I would think that if it was something I would of liked otherwise, it would have had some impact on me.

& if you haven’t seen it, and haven’t read it, and plan on seeing it…I’m going to have a spoiler in my next statement, so don’t read it…Consider that your warning.

*SPOILER* When they made the announcement “We’ve changed the rules, if two people from the same district are the last two, then they both get to go home…” WHO in any kind of right mind, didn’t not see it coming that the main character & the boy from her district weren’t going to end up being the last two standing…& that they were going to have another announcement that “We’ve changed the rules again, only one can win” *rolls eyes* blah, blah, blah…[Tho I was slightly surprised that he didn’t turn on her, forcing her to kill him…But he was too gaga in love with her *rolls eyes again* so he was all self-sacrificing instead…If not one cliché, let’s go with the other. Blah.] & I suppose, since it was a ‘children’s story’ it only makes sense that it would have a ‘happy ending’ where both of the characters from the district we are suppose to be cheering for would actually make it back. [Which, in writing this, I am reminded that in the back of my head, when I thought for sure it was going to be the other guy doing and not the one that did, that they would find some way to get the two both back, instead of just the one. *beats head on desk*] *END SPOILER*

All & All…I can look at it this way…If this stuff is getting published & made into movies…I should be able to at least, as soon as I manage to actually finish some writing that I start, get it published without too much trouble. *shrugs* Just a thought.

& with that…I’m taking my aggravated self back towards the world of homework…@ least that is the plan…Tho I am sooooo bloody sick of homework that it’s ridiculous.
