whoa baby

Sarah is going in to have the baby. She's 3cm and 50% effaced (or whatever). She's early, but should be okay. My mom is on her way and Nicholas is super excited. Sarah called me, and then Nick called, and then Ryan had to talk to me. I'm so bummed out now. I was before this and now it's just worse. I don't want to sit here and start crying though, but I've been there for all 3 of her other boys. At least Ryan isn't off playing softball this time. I won't get to see Owen now until he's 2 months old. By then he'll probably be about 20 pounds :(
So much for my favorite class. I seem to grasp theory on a very basic level. Class was just very deep today. James is starting to get on my nerves too. He intimidates me to no end. Then again, he's had Dr. Lee for theory before. My presentation went well I guess, by the time it was time for me to talk, we were almost out of time, so I rushed it. Might not have been a good idea. I tried to be vocal in class, but I just seemed to barely scratch the surface of what he wanted. Blah...just a very frustrating and disappointing class today.
However, the advising center went very well today. I had a freshman girl in there that was so on the ball. I told her to come back anytime. Had another guy on academic probation and he was really nice. Got a lot of paperwork done too, so I'm beginning to think advising might be a good angle to work on the job market. We'll see.
It's only 7:30 and I'm ready for bed. I did a tiny amount of reading, but really should do more. I have to clean tomorrow too because Kathy is coming on Saturday! Yay! It'll be so good to see her! Especially since I'm feeling so blue.
Homework and the advising center in the afternoon tomorrow. They say a chance of rain this weekend.

labor day

I had every intention of finishing up my reading for this week today...
Last night I weeded my flower bed. I took out everything but 3 tomato plants (which will go as soon as the tomotoes turn red and I can pick them) and I had one purple flower. Of course, I did this at almost 9 last night and got ate up by bugs. I think I also screwed up my sinuses, because I woke up sneezing and with bad sinus pressure. Although, it could have been my neighbors massive fire he had going last night. I had a horrible night of sleep because of him. The last time I checked it was 1:30 and the fire was roaring. He kept hacking, and then they were all talking out there. I put on headphones to drown them out, but then couldn't fall asleep because I was too into the music. But I could smell the fire all night. So between weeding the flower bed and the fire, my sinuses hurt today. So I took some medicine around 11, and fell asleep until 2. Oops, so much for being productive!
So I'm actually down to finishing the reading for the undergrad class I'm graded papers for and reading in the book I am supposed to review for class next week. I'm doing alright I guess.
My official holiday on my own. I made potato salad, minus celery because I forgot you need that. I have some eggs ready to make deviled eggs, and I bought hot dogs, so there's my labor day feast. I just wish I could stop yawning...

Hey Nick, this blog is for you.
What did you think of Harry Potter? Were you happy with how it ended or do you still wonder about what happened to certain people. Are you sad that there won't be anymore books? I'll have to call you and we can talk about it since there is no one else really to talk about it with. I'm glad you finished it though. What are you going to read now? I really don't have any suggestions for you since you've read just about all the books I have and I don't think you want to read any girlie friendship books or love stories.

sunday morning

Well I rested yesterday. I got up and cleaned the house, top to bottom, then Kendra called and we went up to school to set up our fridge. When I got back, I had every intention of doing some reading, but ending up couch surfing most of the day and napping on and off. So today I am determined to get some reading done, I have quite a list of readings to do for the week. I think I might go to starbucks though, because I have too many distractions at home. Like right now I'm watching Gone with the Wind when I should be getting to my laundry and the few dinner dishes I have to do.
I might go over to Kendra's tonight to watch a couple scary movies. Well not "scary" but thrillers, that I really can't watch now by myself. Other than that, homework is on the agenda.
