Well, I managed to make it through yesterday, though it was in a sort of mental haze. I don’t know why but I was just not focused on anything. I didn’t skip anything, though, which I sometimes do when I’m in that haze. I still have a chemistry test tomorrow and I’m still not as prepared as I’d like to be but I’m not nearly as stressed about it as I was yesterday. Maybe its because I know the material better than some of the other people who were at the help session last night. I answered questions and while I got some wrong, I figured out why they were wrong. The question is not whether or not I will pass the test. I will pass. The question is whether I will confidently pass or barely pass.

It was really sad moving Betty back home last night. I miss her being here with us. Whenever I go to the bathroom she sits outside the door and rushes in as I go out so she can look in the toilet and watch it flush. I don’t know what goes through her mind but she’s fascinated by the toilet flushing. Crazy and silly and lovable. At least its only 30 school days til the end of the semester (not including finals week) then I’ll move home and be able to live with her again.

I really don’t want to do my Color project. We’re supposed to be doing a pointillist painting and I don’t know how to do it. It confuses me. I suppose the point (haha!) is that I’m supposed to learn how to do it but that’s not usually how it goes in this class or most of my art classes. Most of my classes I’ve got it figured out before I even go in and do the project. I have a plan of attack, I execute it, and the grade I get is the grade I get. In the pointillist project I’ve got no plan of attack. How am I supposed to make multiple colors appear as one? Its one thing to do it on the computer but to have to mix all of the colors by hand and possibly get them wrong and have to keep mixing til I get the right color is so tedious and wasteful of paint. I’m whining: I don’t want to do this.

I HAVE to make the postcards for my senior show. I need to get them out ASAP because the show is in three weeks! Eek! I wish I’d gotten them out sooner but things keep getting in the way with more pressing deadlines. Wednesday night after my chemistry test, no matter what, I’m going to make myself go do it. I have hoops I need to jump through in order to get them printed and the sooner I start jumping the sooner I can get them mailed.
