there are two weeks left of classes. two weeks. and although i have a giant list of things to take care of before i can determine this semester as completed, i’m starting to calm down for the first time in months.

i took my GRE yesterday and missed making my goal by 40 points. that blows. like, hard. i was pissed and upset and depressed and spiraled through the whole “i’m not good enough, i’m not smart enough” phase until finally settling on a bottle of wine and a religious debate with a friend. that helped. i feel more energized and ready to face the world today than i have in months. 

my kitsch paper is awesome. i’m too opinionated and there’s still quite a bit of work to be done, but i’m excited and i enjoyed writing it, surprisingly.

speaking of being happy, i LOOOOOOOOOOOVE my smith hall project now! i’ve shot a completely different idea every damn week of this semester, and today – the day before it is to be displayed – i came up with an idea that just makes me smile. i’ve told about 10 people so far and haven’t even received a giggle, but i think it’s funny and that’s enough for me.
