Yeah... kind of feeling like crap right now (I've been sick since Sunday and have missed two days of classes--today and Monday--so far), so instead of actually going up on campus and doing school stuff I'm pretty much stuck down here in my apartment. Which means I have time to post stuff here, for once.
Anyway... Thanksgiving break actually went REALLY well this year. I think it was the first time that I actually used it as a "break" from school--I can't really remember what I did last time (I think I went home for a bit, but mostly stayed at school?), and the time before that I went on a Travel Study trip, but this time I just went back home and stayed there the whole week up until Saturday night. Had a good Thanksgiving dinner (which included trying stuffing for the first time--it was actually pretty good--and also having some homemade cranberry sauce, made by my little sister), got to spend some time with family members (and kitties!) for the first time in a while, and after Thanksgiving itself was over I ended up going out to eat with my dad and sister a few times. So there was a lot of good food involved.
And absolutely no school work--aside from a tiny bit of painting (just finishing up a page I had already started before break), I didn't even touch any of my projects over the break. My original plan was to finish at least one or two paintings over the break, but... my original plans didn't take into account "hands hurting" or "feeling like I'm slowly being killed by homework overload," so it turned out that I barely did anything over the break. There's absolutely no way I will get 10 paintings done for either of my classes this semester--so far I have 5 done for one and 4 done(-ish) for another, and it seems extremely unlikely that I'll end up with more than maybe 7 or so in each. Maybe 8, but even that might be pushing it. Plus I'm supposed to do a final project for 3D Design... I may just end up asking my teacher for that class if I could skip the last project, at least if it wouldn't murder my grade too badly to get a 0 on it, just so I can have enough time to actually get other stuff done before the semester's over. Either that or turn in a completely half-assed final project, but I've already done a half-assed project in that class once (the most recent one, with light) so I'm not sure I'd be able to do that...
And finally... yeah, I'm sick, as mentioned above. Started Sunday, kept me awake until after 2 AM that night (which meant there was no way in hell I was going to be up in time for my 9 AM class the next day)... and then I ended up sleeping through not just my first class, but my second one at 11:00 too. Managed to get out to the post office to get a money order in time to pay my rent at least, and also took out the garbage... but aside from that I really didn't feel like even leaving the house. Yesterday was about the same--lots of coughing, sore throat, runny nose, generally feeling crappy. Sleep worked better Monday night (and Tuesday night) than Sunday at least, but still not as well as I'd have liked. No idea if I'll be feeling well enough to actually go to classes by Friday... I'm supposed to have a meeting with one of my teachers tomorrow to figure out some stuff for Senior Show, so I hope I'll feel at least somewhat better by then.
