I got my paper back in sociology. Five pages of essay, an abstract, a perfect works cited, and he puts, "Good start!" on the bottom. Five pages is not a good start. Five pages is, "Change a few things here and there, and you'll be done!". I am terribly vexed over this.
That said, he did give us today off, so I forgive him somewhat. I've been using my time wisely (Reading the article for Friday? No. Working on my paper? No. Watching Due South and gawking at Paul Gross's incredible ass? Yes indeed!)
In BritLit, we're reading Equus. Correction, my fellow classmates are. The beginning of this year, I could not afford all the books, so I forewent purchasing Frankenstein and Equus. The former was online, but I haven't had any luck finding the latter. I've been faking it in class, but sometime before our final, I probably should read it at the PCL. If some other cheapskate hasn't checked it out.
And finally, I am down to $2.49 in my dine-in-dollars account. I've been scrounging to put together enough meals to last 'til the end of the semester.
My larder consists of a tin of oatmeal, half a jar of peanut butter, two cans of soup, a Ramen packet, mustard, and a packet of tuna. With the $2.49, I can buy 3 more packets of Ramen (the "oriental flavor" is highly recommended, by the way). I can live off of peanut butter sandwiches for a ridiculously long time, but bread is hideously expensive.
Also, I called several apartment complexes yesterday and found several leasing for fall semester. Two of them I am particularly drawn to, though I haven't physically checked them out yet and they may be a bit dodgy. The prices are mostly in the $550 area, with the one I am partial to being $670 a month. Most of them, I'd have to pay for electricity and Internet, but they are along the UT Shuttle route and about a ten-minute ride to campus.
This seems like a nice place to segue into the other thing, which is my schedule. Either it is the most hellacious schedule in the world or the best.
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I would be taking Bio II at 8:00-9:00, then Creative Writing 9:00-10:00, Latin from 10:00-11:00, then Cultural Anthropology from 12:00-1:00, except for Fridays when Anthropology would be from 11:00-12:00. On Mondays, I would have the additional discussion section for Bio II from 4:00-5:00.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I would have Latin from 10:00-11:00.
The creative writing is iffy--I really would rather be in either a class on "Walt Whitman and His World" or "Shakespeare's Selected Plays", but both were closed when I last checked. The waitlist supposedly opens Thursday, so with luck, I may be able to put myself on that and drop the Creative Writing class.
I am a tad worried about the lack of any breaks, but as my brother said, "Think of it as high school"--I think he meant it to be comforting. Mostly it just provokes nightmarish flashbacks that I would prefer to draw a veil over.
Speaking of drawing a veil over painful scenes--
7 days left!
