B and A

I got a B on my speech exam.

I got an A on my Psych exam.

The perfectionist in me wanted to pick the B apart, but I just accepted it and moved on. I can't be bothered with perfectionism right now.

English class, I've missed two classes. I've found it hard to get up and be at class by 8 a.m. but I need to do better.

Michael and I moved 3 hours south to be closer to his family and be able to take trips to see my father. 4 hours is much more manageable than 7 hour trip.

My Aunt in Kentucky is less than 2 hours away, instead of 5, and we are very happy about that.

I made a set of cereal bowls in ceramics yesterday. I made 12-15, and I trimmed the bottoms so they don't wobble. They are a practice in wabi sabi. My teacher moved me from the beginner syllabus to the intermediate syllabus... I was way ahead, now I'm gonna have to bust ass to get ahead again. I am trying to complete the beginning syllabus anyways, just for the practice. I should be taking some pictures of the greenware (that's the name for the things you make with clay before it gets fired in a kiln.)

Michael and I travel about 40 minutes to his parent's house on Saturdays. It's good to catch up with them, to help them with various projects, and we play games with them. Pinochle is a fun card game. I'm a terrible loser. I win magnificently.

Michael got me 3 bottles of bath and body works lotion which is about the only thing that keeps my skin hydrated since I've been in the ceramics lab.

I've signed up for the free counseling that they offer at the school. I've got four years. I will get the most out of it that I can.

The University just opened a very nice fitness facility, with pool and hot tub. Can't wait to get in there. Probably on Tuesday....

Sorry about the sporadic random nature of this update. Just thought I'd drop in for a minute. I've got to get back to my homework.

Cheers
