Monday & Tuesday, in a nut shell…How do they fit

MONDAY:
School was cancelled for the Critters today. &…Since Mum decided she couldn’t miss anymore work just now, it got cancelled for me to. L It’s aggravating on a couple levels. 1.) We were going to be doing Mock-Portfolio review for Photography…And I really wanted to get some feedback on the five pictures I had picked out for it…To see if they would work for the real portfolio review (where we have to have ten, mounted) for next Monday. & 2.) I actually had my Creative Writing assignment #4 done! O.o I NEVER have them done in time to turn in on a Monday…And here I do…And I can’t bloody well do it. *pouts* *sigh*

Anyway…About CPS. Last night Sonja asked me if I was going to call…I was worried about doing so, as I didn’t want them (the Critters) getting any potential flack from their father and that household about it. But…Someone had already gotten CPS involved anyway…Sonja did ask me about it…I was considering it anyway, since those two things…Mum texted me this morning saying that the one woman at work, who has dealt a lot with Friend of the Court and such said I should call too. They Critters want out of there…And it’s coming up on where they’ll have to be there for a week. L [Spring Break is not going to be fun at all.] Maybe it’s what is suppose to be happening right now…Maybe that’s why they got the call to begin with, so I would have the immediate contact information.

Anyway…I’m sure the lady could hear Sonja and Harley while I was on the phone…They both spoke up. Clarifying and adding to what I was already saying. She’s going to go to the school and talk to them, either tomorrow, or the next day. I think, if they hadn’t had a snow day today she would of went to talk to them today.

Also called the counsoler the Critters usually talk to on Monday, since they wouldn’t get to talk to him today. Left a message….Not a very articulate one, as I didn’t want to say what had happened over the phone…Just that Sonja and Harley both had something they wanted to talk about that happened this week-end.

Called the college, got the phone #, then the e-mail addy for the lady who is taking over as the Early Childhood development coordinator. I seriously think I do want to do the two associates (finish my general studies one, then started another ASA one, with ECD as my main focus)…Then, depending on how things are going, transferring with the second associates to Grand Valley University @ the Northwestern University Center.

It would be putting of MTH111 one more semester…BUT…If I worked it out right, I would end up in MTH111 with James, and the two of us could help each other out.

I REALLY want to know where Spring went. *looks around* It had started to show up…We were getting 50’s and near 60’s (if not low ones), a lot of the snow had melted. It was near beautiful…Then, last night…*poof* Snow, EVERYWHERE! There has got to be at least 5” on Appa…And that’s with some of it having melted with the sun pretending to be warm out there.

Well…It’s just past noon…I might as well take advantage of not having classes (that I can go to today) and get some stuff done…Like reading Zen in the Art of Archery.

————————————————————————————————-

TUESDAY:
Well, apparently the lady didn’t go and see the kids…So I guess that means she’ll be talking to them today. She did say tomorrow or the next day when I talked to her Monday.

Did basicly nothing in 3-D design. Well, I drew a picture of Konmei, which I thought turned out fairly well. No one else seemed overly impressed. *shrugs* Oh well. Anyway…1 ½ hours into the class the teacher finally makes it to the side of the room I live on…And tells me I still need to do some work on my sphere to make it roll better. I attempted…It worked a bit…Not quite well enough. Then he came back over with an idea, and started cutting out another large circle for it. This is when James decides to come over and steal my eraser. I know, I probably should of stayed seated, and pretended to be engrossed in the cutting out of a cardboard circle…But hey, it’s me…I couldn’t. I had to go retrieve my eraser…It was James after all.
I swear, sometimes he’s just asking for it. Pretty much had to wrestle with him to get my eraser back. It was fun though…Despite the fact he stabbed me in the arm with a handful of coloured pencils.
Anyway…I got my eraser back and went back to class, where Quirrel was just finishing up cutting out the circle. I still had to figure out how to put it on my sphere…Which I did, after a bit of trouble. I still have to make another one before I take it back to class on Thursday.

OMGs…Class…*shakes head* One of the girls was there, but left even before class started. He put in a really, really, really, really, boring movie that, sort of, connects to the next assignment (we’ll be playing with wire)…About half way through class…At least half, if not more, of the class was gone. Now, I’m use to everyone wandering off early…Heck, I’m usually out of class 15 minutes before it officially lets out. But Gods…There was two of us left by the end of class. It was pretty pathetic, really. *laughs*

Anyway…What elses…Was a minute late for Eastern Religions…I blame staying in 3-D design for the allotted time I’m suppose to be there. It threw everything else off. That and James pouting that we were leaving him (more I than we, as I don’t think he cares if Reese leaves him or not).

Speaking of Reese. *shakes head* Sometimes she shows there is a bit of what passes for humanity in the being that is she. Though, I suppose, under the circumstances it would be hard not to.
She likes hospitals less than I do. I’m actually not too bad with them, as long as I know I’m not staying, or not long anyway. Reese can’t stand to be in one even two hours, and that’s as a visitor!
Well…Friday is her three year post-cancer check-up. Which means spending all day, not only in the hospital, but hooked up to machines, getting blood drawn, and all kinds of other wonderful tests. This with the knowledge that some of the drugs they gave her to get rid of her cancer when she had it, could, possibly, cause other kinds of cancers later. Seriously…As stubborn and mean, and pigheaded, and all that that she can be…I really don’t think she could handle getting sick again. Thing is…And I wasn’t suppose to say anything…And I’m not sure if it’s still there or not anyway, as she hasn’t said anything about it…Back before Christmas break, Reese had found what could have been a lump. L Logically, it could of just been a cyst, those happen off and on during cycles…But last night

she said that the drugs then gave her could cause other cancers, one of the ones she mentioned was breast cancer.
Reese comes off as really strong…Emotional & Physically & What not…But I’ve seen her when she’s upset…It’s kind of scary. Only because she goes from this strong individual to one that, Gods…Is so obviously weak and needing. It’s just so unlike her. But, hopefully, all will be well, and this is nothing that has to be worried about. Cancer (some of them anyway) does go away and stay away. [Skittles cancer, unfortunately, is one of those kinds that doesn’t go away…She’s always classified as ‘in remission’. Hopefully she stays that way. Gods…I can’t even imagine living with such knowledge though. I’ve been lucky…I know I have.]

 

School work related:
Eastern Religions: Finished reading ‘Zen in the Art of Archery’.
Need to read the last part of ‘Zen Keys’ for Tuesday. Have a paper due next Thursday (the 19th), and probably a media review as well. Haven’t even started on the paper. It’s about Karma in the religions…Hopefully I’ll be able to manage.

3-D design: Like I said…Need to add another circle, in the hopes it’ll make it roll better, to my sphere. It’s due Thursday now (as so many didn’t have them done Tuesday…Then, as I said, skipped out of class early).
Next project…A wire self portrait. O.o I don’t know. Do know we get 60” of wire to do it in. *shrugs* I’ll figure it out somewhere along the lines.

Creative Writing: Assignment #4 due this week…I actually had it done before absolutely having to. E-mailed it to him Monday when I told him I wasn’t going to be there. Don’t know what assignment #5 is off hand. Haven’t read anything in the book in a while again. It’s not like any of it sinks in anyway.

Photography: Missed the mock review. I have to manage to get ten photos mounted by next Monday. I’ve got (tentively) ten photos picked out…I’m just not sure when I’m going to be able to get to the mounting of them. O.o Looks like perhaps it’s fieldtrip time to the college this week-end. Mum can take the Critters and go hang out in the library, or something, while I work on getting pictures mounted. They want to go and hang out on campus anyway…Silly Critters.
Other than that…Got my negatives developed yesterday, so I’m good for today. Think they turned out rather well to. I was surprised…Even the one I did indoors, without a flash (I managed to get a lot of light in the dining room somehow) came out. [Which reminds me…I have pictures of the castle I made for 3-D design on Mum’s camera…I just need to get them uploaded to Pein here.]

Only other thing I can think to add to this long arse update is…I’m insane. *laughs*

Seriously though…Back when Mum sold the Slytherin mobile to the one lady she worked with…The title and the battery terminal connecter things were in the house when they came to pick it up, so Kelli’s son Lee had to come to the door to get them. & apparently he had told Kelli something to the equivalent that I was hot, or something. Which Kelli passed on to my Mum, and Mum had passed on to me. At that point, I was like, ‘Okay, yeah, that’s nice, whatever’, as I was going out with Todd at the time.
Anyway…Sunday, I think it was, I asked Mum how old he was. [I can’t really remember what he looked like, but if my memory is doing anything for me at all, I don’t think he was bad to look at. My mind was preoccupied at the time.] Well later her and Kelli were texting, as Mum told her I had inquired. Kelli asked if she should have him call me. *falls over* *laughs*

So, eventually, sometime, I may, or may not, get a phone call some night. Thing is…I’m shy-ish, especially around people I don’t know…And apparently he’s on the shy side too. Soooo…I don’t know.

Anyway…I need to get ready for school…Catch up on whatever I missed Monday…Do whatever I need to do today…Have a return I need to make, as Mum bought a couple shirts Saturday and decided she doesn’t like the way they fit after she got them home…And they is too bigs for me.

And…It’s bloody well snowing again. I hate snow. I want Spring. I am ready for it.
