Well, SAGA treated me well for once today. I had a very passable Greek salad thanks to the rare but oh-so-worth-the-wait feta cheese. And it’s a good thing Karen was there to eat with me or else I would have been all alone! The reason for the potential aloneness being that I had an unusually late lunch because of the CLEP examination that I took from 11:00 till about 12:45. Unfortunately, I did not score high enough to place out of the Biology requirement (6 points away!!!!!!!) but that is not going to stop me from taking the test again because, frankly, I would rather spend another $65 on the test than pay for a whole semester of a 4-credit class that will do me little to no good in the future. It is incredibly disappointing that I was so close to getting out of the class….only 6 points would have given me freedom. That is a saddening thought….but I can’t really let it bug me that much because I have way to much to worry about for just completing this semester. Like the Somerville paper that is due a week from today. Eep.

Right now, I’m working in the Sage office for Diana Kies, who is out on vacation for the rest of the week. Which reminds me that Fall Break starts tomorrow after classes and I am uber-excited about that. I’m not going anywhere at all (except maybe Jackson or Ann Arbor if Karen and I can find a ride…) and that is something to look forward to. Four whole days of rest, relaxation and paper-writing. Oh the joy.

So that is what I have to anticipate on this dreary Tuesday afternoon….and maybe a harsh critiquing from Frudakis in Sculpture. He hasn’t said much the past two classes except that it’s “looking nice” which could mean anything from “the nose is a foot longer than it needs to be” to “you are a master of clay” or even “your attemps are far too pitiful for words”. I’m hoping for the happy medium.

Oh, and Patrick and I are going to see Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride tonight. Excitement
