Well there was a rough two weeks... exams, stuff due in ceramics, had to give a speech, had an english paper due... and although i was happy for the extra study time, it just annoyed me to know end that test dates kept getting pushed back. It felt like Groundhog Day.
My ceramics teacher has it in her brain to make me 'pull' handles. I fuckin hate pulling handles. So she kept thinking that I said I didn't know how to do them... I know how to do them, I just hate them. It's the same damn handle that's on every damn homemade mug out there. I'd like to be able to make something with nice and neat handles, clean lines... I don't want my handles to look like they "grew out of the piece". Just when I thought she was going to let me be me and make nice pretty handles, not pulled, but still lovely, to put on my lovely pots... Nope. pulled handles. I now have 8 sacrificial cups to which I attached pulled handles and she loves them. Me... not so much. Fuckin chewed up my whole damn day in there. grrrr.
I don't think I did well on my speech test, or my psych test. I care, but I can't freak myself out about it. I used to be a great test taker, I don't think I am so much anymore. Sometimes the questions are worded so tricky, all I have is 50 minutes to do each test. Hopefully if I turn everything in, and continue to get good grades on all the things that I hand in, then it will show up in my final grade. I can't believe that final exams are so close. I'm starting to study for them now.
I have to figure out what I'm going to have for dinner. Sometimes eating is such a chore.
Wow, I'm bitchy today...
