God, I suck at LJing now. It's not like I don't have time to get on LJ. I have plenty of time - it is just that I'd rather be doing other things than write about my life. Journaling used to be a huge part of my life and it's like I have completely forgotten how to integrate that with my life. Sigh.
Last week was another shitty week. On Valentine's Day, I was browsing Facebook when I found out that my favorite professor, Barbara, just died several hours earlier that evening. I was in shock. The first thing I did after finding out was to walk to my closet and take out the bracelet she gave me. God, I still cannot believe this. She really was my favorite professor - I had three classes with her and she was also my boss. Barbara was a PASSIONATE professor - she always listened to her students. I often had outlandish ideas that I was absolutely certain she would turn them down - but she always proved me wrong by grinning and saying "Do it, Janelle! I will be expecting you to do that tomorrow.'" She truly listened to me and she made me believe that my ideas mattered - which was a HUGE rarity among many teachers and professors. The world truly have lost somebody wonderful. :( There will be a memorial service this Sunday, but I don't know if I will be going. I cannot handle funerals/memorial services. I always cry a tad too much. Meh. I don't know.
But there is one thing I know for certain. Barbara would have gotten a HUGE kick out of the fact that she died on Valentine's Day. She so would.
Now with better news.
I got a B on my history quiz. THANK GOD. I really thought I did worse than that. Moments after we finished taking the quiz, the professor called out all the answers and I thought I got 9 out of 20. Fast forward a week later, I got the quiz and it turned out that the professor called out many wrong answers (wtf) and I got 16 out of 20. Freakin' sweet!!!
I wish I have a dancing .gif. Damn it.
Anyway. I tried out the Dragon Age II demo a couple of days ago and OMFG. I seriously wonder how I am gonna survive WAITING. I want that game in my hands now and I want to kill some serious Darkspawn ass and I want to romance Isabela and I want to piss off my Nordic sidekick. March 8th...March 8th...March 8th...
Oooh. And POKEMON is coming out on March 6th. I am going to preorder that game soon. Haven't decided on my starter yet. Hmmmm.
You know what's so shitty about March? Midterms. Three midterms are coming up. Yikes.
On the top of that, I have lesson plans to develop for dance class. And there's also Las Vegas on March 18-20th. And all these games. March is gonna be a busy month for me. Oh boy.
Random pictures!
Found this book in the Children section at Barnes & Noble. Ummmmmmm
I love clouds. :)
My route from class to my apartment.
My school's library (Oviatt Library) Does this look familiar?
(from the 2009 Star Trek film)
Yep! My school's library is the Starfleet Academy! You know what's awesome about this? Oviatt Library is also the "stage" for graduation. Which means I can honestly claim I graduated from the Starfleet Academy! :D :D
