No, it's not swine flu, but it's probably swine related. My pork allergy is the culprit that has me awake at 3:30 a.m. I had a biscuit with egg and cheese for lunch on Monday, and now I'm paying for it. This used to happen at Wendy's all the time. Someone would make my food that had just made something with bacon, and then I would get sick. My stomach sounds like one of those noise making sticks that you turn upside down and it makes a deep, weird noise... only more gurgling. I'm awake and waiting, and just hoping that if I have to hurl, I can get it out of the way already, brush my teeth get back to bed.
Anyhow, I'm quite reflective and think that I now remember why I first went vegan. I wish I'd never gone back to eating cheese (dairy for calcium) and seafood (for omega 3's) which my doctor said I needed for cellular generation to help my back heal.
I'm seriously debating returning to that as I am now absolutely miserable on a multitude of levels surrounding this issue.
bleah.
Dear God, If you get me through the end of the semester, I promise I'll study more during the semester instead of spending so much time in the ceramics lab.
Actually, today is over the hump day. It's all studying for final exams from here. Which means if I do a chapter a day in the two classes that I have comprehensive final exams in, then I'm doing well. I've done well enough on tests and such, and turned in my homework.
I met with my advisor and got more prerequisites out of the way. I'll be registering for class tonight or tomorrow. No more 8 a.m. classes for me. No thank you.
Even though the kiln was most unkind, all my assingments are done. Tomorrow I glaze, and turn in my ceramics paper, which is all done, I just need to burn it to a CD.
The rough draft of my English Paper will be revised this weekend. The English final is cake. I'm going to do a Burkean Analysis of (undecided)
All my courses for the fall are courses that I like:
Remedial Math (Brush Up Math course before I take the prerequisite Math course)
Child Psychology
Anthropology 1 (Sounds sweet to me.)
Wheel 2 (Well Duh.)
English 2 (Sweet, essays, creative, analysis papers.)
If all goes well with 5 full classes, Then I will schedule a 6 full class semester in January. I want to get this degree done and over with and get started on my doctorate)
Thats right. Dr Hawk.
I am in an exceptionally good mood because I totally rocked my persuasive speech 93 out of a possible 100. I think it's a little b.s. what I got discounted for, but an A is an A and I'm taking it.
And I rocked red lipstick. And I gave it on the idea that I wanted everyone to go out and get a yoga ball. Really, I did it just so I could say 'ball' a hundred times. I heard at least one snicker. heheh.
Juvenile? Maybe. Don't care.
I know it's been a while, but I am knee deep in the end of semester
busy body activity.
Yesterday the kiln gods frowned upon me. Everytime you open a kiln, it's like a little present from the element of fire, you never know what you are going to get, and usually you like it, are surprised. I wish there was a way to film all the students running back to the kiln room hardly able to wait for the pieces that are still very warm to touch, to see what has happened and to have little conversations over it.
Yesterday, I took Michael because the pancake making set of bowls that I had made him were set to come out. And there they were in beautiful white and gold.... if only i had glazed them white and gold. The whole 'blueberry' thing should've hinted at the idea that I clearly chose blue and white. Alas.
Then, the other kiln that was bisqueing the greenware misfired and actually went over temperature and several pieces were lost. These were my better pieces. Kinda like a final exam for me.
Then the other kiln was unloaded and someone chipped one of my bottles at the rim.
My teacher saw that I was in distress and told me that you had to do a rice ceremony and a sacrifice to the kiln gods in order to ensure your kiln experience. Well if only I'd have known. I'm just the sort to sacrifice things to a kiln god. I may have liked sacrificing things to a kiln god.... If only I knew that there was something to appease.
I had to put my earphones on and try to avoid conversation because I was on the verge of tears for the whole of the three hour class.
And I've finished my rough draft of my english paper.
And I'm not taking courses this summer, although I plan on taking courses during the summer next year and so on, maybe I can knock this thing out.
