Wenn im Winter Engel frieren
Nov. 25th, 2008 12:21 amOk, so it isn't winter yet, but it sure feels like it!
Last night was the first measurable snowfall of the season. When I woke up at 9:30 AM, there were only two inches on the ground, but now that I’m back in the Falls for Thanksgiving Break, there are four inches out here.
( This is what it looked like from my dorm window this morning )
I decided to skip the one class I have tomorrow and come home early for the peace and quiet of rural suburbia and to avoid the mad rush when masses by the thousands leave the dorms tomorrow night. I’m just glad the weather is warmer because when you have no choice but to wear leggings, it’s much more pleasant walking to class when it’s in the 30’s than last Friday when it was 15˚F.
All of this means my week from homework hell is over! It looks like I may be able to pass astronomy after all, and I finished all my paintings but one. Luckily I have an awesome professor for that class and she said she’d still give me credit if I have it done by next week. I’m not too worried because this is the first slip-up I’ve had for that class all semester. As for my fate in astronomy, I won’t be able to tell until the grades I got on today’s exam and last week’s homework are posted. However, I managed to bring the average on my quizzes up to an 83%.
After the sciatic nerve idiocy of this weekend, I managed to stupidly injure myself again today. This time I figured if I could put push pins through a wet oil painting before putting it on the wall, I could avoid getting paint all over my hands. This was successful until I pushed a bit too hard and the pin came out the other side and got stuck in my finger. Unfortunately, I was the last one putting up my work, and the whole class watched as I bled all over myself, my work, and somehow smeared it onto a dirty table. I also seem to have hit a nerve as I’ve been having trouble moving it and it keeps involuntarily shaking. But the good news is I’ve recently had a tetanus shot and all of my pieces were chosen among the most successful ones for each assignment, so even though I fail at life, at least I don’t fail at introductory-level painting.
