End Of Semester @ MindSay

Well, my day was great, actually. I'm going to finish up my final Civics project after I write this blog, which should only take me about fifteen minutes.

In Religion, we watched some strange movie. But I didn't even watch it. XD Becca got a new book yesterday, and she was reading that, so I pulled out 'Much Ado About Nothing' and read plenty of that. (I got back into that, by the way. XD)

But the main highlight of my day? Definatley Drama. The class was sat in a large circle, and we have little daily questions to start the period off to normally get to know each other more. Kinda like an icebreaker.
Today's question was "Out of the students in this classroom, who was somebody you never knew before you entered Drama and what do you appreciate about them?"
I swear, I must have got like, six compliments... I'll list the ones that I can remember.

Faith: "Emily. I just think she has a lot going for her, with her writing and everything..."
Ally: "Emily. I'm so glad we did our monologue together. You're really nice."
Bri: "Emily. I don't really know what to say about you. You're completley nice to everyone, and you're just... Real. You aren't fake or anything, and you don't care if other people judge you. You're not stuck up, or snobby either."
Chase: "Emily. She's a really great friend."

And then my teacher was going around the circle, seeing if she had any students in her classroom last year.
My Teacher: "Emily, I had her last year. She's SUPER commited to what she does."
- My teacher is right. If it's something I love, I'm completley dedicated to it and I'd do pretty much anything.

But yeah, that was a big highlight of my day. ^^ I wasn't expecting me to be mentioned so much. When I think about it, I'm gonna miss everybody in my drama class... I really don't want to leave everybody in the class. They're just so awesome!

In Science, we just did more exam review. I'm gonna slightly miss that class, too... Tomorrow will be my last class this year with Chase, who's one of my great pals. It'll be my last class for the rest of my High School education with Robert, unfortunatley. Robert and I had really interesting conversations. I'm gonna miss that. Oh well, I can always have lunch with him next year, since Grade 11's and 12's have the same lunch.

...Man... Now suddenly, I really don't want this semester to end.

but seriously, my girlfriend is awesome. She just left, and I mean I seriously could not ask or want anyone better. She insists on paying for everything, she LOVES having sex with me, she always sends me thoughtful text messages throughout the day, and when she's on her way over here she'll pick me up stuff sometimes. When she came over tonight she brought me some Hershey's candy cane kisses <3

I couldn't wait any longer and gave her the presents I bought. I got her this green and white Vans shirt, these cool tattoo ed hardy-esque skull plugs (her ears are gauged), and some little white gold hoops with a CZ on each for her cartilage piercing on her ear. Her eyes lit up and she hugged me real tight saying "you listened!". she said that because I tend to forget things A LOT.

She's picking me up tomorrow to take me to the train. I'll be on my way to seeing my mother. I really wish my mom did not hate homos so I could come out to her, but I just don't see that happening :( but hopefully one day she'll come around.

anyhoo I'd rather end this on a positive note. I am excited to start the new school semester. New semester, new girlfriend, new lease on life. I know I can make all of them shine and empower me if I put my mind to it.

love, Angel

It's almost the end of the second week of the semester. I'm feeling okay about this so far. It's a small wake up call from the laziness of high school, having every class every day for 5 days straight. Now i only have 2 days with the same class a week, and classes only 4 days a week, like a typical schedule there.

I finally found work, and so far I like it. I think I'll catch on pretty fast, especially since I don't want to be fired too soon. Unfortunately it's only 4 hours x 5 days in my schedule, and at a little above minimum wage, I'm not going to be getting much out of it like I could have working full time during the summer.

Ugh, I need to fix my sleeping schedule so I'm not passing out in class.

Hey all,
Finally this long semester is drawing to a close!! Early next week I will partake, along with about 1600 other Hartwick Student, in the long awaited final semester exams!! They make them sound so serious!! I’ve been here too long - I know the drill. They mean no more or no less than the other 3 or 4 that you have undergone in the duration of the semester and really all the hype is just for those wee freshman that are sitting their first ones, so they can make that phone call home to mum and dad and tell them how hard they have been studying and how well they are going to do. Ohhh back in the day!!

Its funny, when you all arrive on campus everyone is happy and rejoicing in seeing all their school friends again after a long break but as we come closer and closer, and the length of time between the last trip home and the present is getting longer and the need getting stronger, people are changing. Their patience seems to burn away and everyone seems like they are sleep deprived. Whether it is a bad case of sleep deprivation or what but its bad and the further on in semester the worse it gets, except for those kids who (and I would only call them lucky for the fact that they get to go home all the time, but I would call them very unlucky for not living in such a beautiful exotic place as some of the rest of us – not to say that upstate NY isn’t exotic, just in its own way!!) go home every weekend.

Well as I said exams are upon us and I really haven’t opened a book, I have 5 of which I get two I don’t NEED to open a book, I'm assessing management companies on proformas already set up on my computer – just put in the numbers, and the other 3 will have their books cracked and the dust blown off once again before I trek off down the hill to sell them back and make a stunning profit.
Well other than that I will be living in the library for the next couple of days to study for these three exams. I figure I might as well keep up my excellent grades that I have maintained through the semester so far!! Oh well you can only hope for the best!!

Catch up soon, will write again when I'm right in amongst the hustle and bustle of packing and getting where you need to be for the Christmas break!!
