Say What?

They wanted me to work tomorrow despite my class.  I told them it wouldn't be worth it because of how late my class goes.  It's like they expect me to come in anyway.
Was foggy this morning when I left for committee meeting, though it was clear on the highway and at school.  Cloudy all day, but we didn't get more snow.  Windy and cold again, but I manged to stay outside til after 5:30.  Not much fun.  More clouds were moving in as the sun went down, so we might get some tonight.
Turned in my Japanese and took two quizzes today.  One was prepared for in Japanese, the other was a pop quiz in World Lit.  I think I got two out of three on that one...
Have three journals to write for Critical approaches to lit.  More Japanese homework-big surprise, when hasn't the teacher given us homework?-and an upcoming test or quiz in linguistics.  Getting to be that time anyway...

Cold, For Sure.

Snowed again today, but like yesterday stopped by the time I got to work.  Didn't clear out the clouds, so I was running inside every 55 minutes trying to regain the feeling in my hands and face.  My boss didn't seem to mind, though I was little miffed that when I asked about what to do if it started snowing they said to just make sure to spread ice melt so it wouldn't get slick.  They care about me falling and hurting myself more than if I catch hypothermia from getting soaked?
Turned in my ad for art, and I got a laugh from the teacher for it.  Hope that's a good sign.  My best friend's ad made me laugh, and she was a bit startled by that.  I guess being tired-woke up very tired this morning-made it seem funnier to me.  Got over half my Japanese homework done before linguistics class started, but didn't finish because I couldn't concentrate. Have the two online quizzes and four problems left.  Was going to go to a basketball game at the university but I'm not feeling well-thanks to the cold and being tired-and I've got plenty of homework to fill the time with.  Sigh...
Truck's making a kind of squeal when I get it up around 30 mph...

Phew...

Thanks to my dad I got that art assignment done just now.  He had to import the scanner for our printer so I could copy it and then save it(twice, stupid me saved it as a pdf and couldn't alter it until I rescanned and then saved it as a jpeg) before I could play with it.  I think I got a fun idea for it, so we'll see what my teacher thinks.
I need to call that one place back about a job interview-my hands are not keeping up with the strain of my job.  Had to stretch them out after work and they still felt stiff and swollen.  Haven't had a chance yet today.
We got snow this morning and rain after that.  Figures that it would stop before I got to work.  Told my dad it was his fault anyway.  He said we needed it.  Not arguing there, but I'd rather not find out I have to work in it.
Three quizzes in japanese, two online that we have to take and send the results to her, the other in class.  Only two bits of homework and the one is half done already.  Behind on this weeks journals, so I'll do that next.
About caught up with reading Crime and Punishment, just got to page 450 today.  Supposed to be on 600 by next week.  And then we've only got about 67 pages left.  Can't say I'll be sad to read the end.  This book just seems to drag on...

Huh.

Took a shower last night and noticed that I still have the tan line from my landscaping job last summer.  My tan usually lasts until about the first snow fall, so that's why I was surprised.
We got Just Dance 2014-my sister did actually-and tried it out then, and we played it more today.  I joined in after work because my shoulder's were stiff from it.
Tried to get another 4 GB flash drive for my photography class because just the pictures I've taken so far are chewing up the majority of the empty space I had on my old one.  The smallest they had was a 8 GB for a little bit more than I got my old 4 GB for.  The best deal was a 64 GB for about $45, but I don't have that kind of money.  Haven't got paid yet.
I have homework still, and I found time to get started on my story for the contest.  Might not get anywhere, but I'd still like to try.

Windy...

It was at work, right before the sun went down-of course-so i freezing the last few minutes of standing around waving a sign.  A friend from school just asked me to join Linkedin or whatever it's called so they can add me to their pro profile(no, that is not a typo, I did it on purpose) or something.  So I did. Not sure what it's for, but I doubt it'll hurt.
Amazon is doing a cool contest next month for writers that i really would like to try, but I'd either have to totally revamp and finish one of the two stories I did for Nanowrimo or restart a old one I never got down on paper.  Then I have the usual school work and work work.  But the grand prize is $50,000 with three smaller prizes of $15,000.  would be cool, so I'll try for it when I can squeeze it in.
Lover's Feast thing is coming up, and it's cheaper to buy two tickets this time. Figures.  I think everyone's doing that these days.
Went to the ice skating thing on saturday and wound up helping a woman who took a bad spill-the fall wasn't so bad, but her phone made it worse, as it didn't break but dug rather badly into her thigh-and had to be carried off the ice.  She was okay, and even tried teaching me some basic dance moves while we were talking.  I bet she got a really colorful bruise from it.
Well, I have a picture redo for art 1040 thursday, two 'papers' for english 3080, the usual amount of Japanese, and reading for everything else-you'd think there'd be more writing in those classes...

Ow...

Certainly not as cold today, but the sun went down at 5:30, and I'm not quite up to that yet.  just my back and shoulders are sore though, as is becoming typical.
Second quiz in Japanese, and I nearly forgot to study for it.  I think I did a lot better on this one though.  We didn't have to conjugate any words this time, but we did have to change katakana words to hiragana-which was an interesting exercise.
Was supposed to change the marque again, but one of my fellow committee members beat me to it.  I won't complain, given how tired I was at the time and how sore I am now.  I just had to let the teacher know.  I get to change it monday instead. Fun...

That's Better...

Not as windy today, though there was the occasional breeze mixed in.  I made it to 5:30 anyway.  Taking care of the flags and folding sign I'm supposed to put out then take back in took til 5:50-I had to warm up too-so that's the longest I've spent on the job so far.
Got my paper in and my journal done last night.  Started my Japanese homework before class today, but only finished a third of it.  We're supposed to take an ad and 'revise it' so it sends a different message in art 1040 for next week.
My newest niece rolled over today!  My sister called to tell my mom.
