11 weeks left

o.k. so this past week was a train wreck. i had three exams and i gained four pounds!!! yes, ladies and gentlemen, i pig out when i'm under stress; especially if i have to be up until all hours of the morning!!!! i had german choclate cake, tuna salad sandwich, cokes until i was high on sugar!! the stupid thing is that i'm so wired that when i'm finally finished, i'm too wired to go to sleep! i guess i need to quit the coke earlier. my mom has promised me that all of my teeth are going to fall out, if i keep drinking coke. i really must stop, but i find it hard. i think if coca-cola is my worst habit, i'm actually doing pretty good. (can you tell i'm in denial?)

o.k. so let's rewind:

anciet rome: i'm having to read the aeneid--again!! i read it for world lit with mrs. marez a couple of semesters ago. remember? when i read the iliad? oh, well....i really need to start working on my research paper. THIS WEEK WITHOUT FAIL!!!

language and culture: i had an exam in this class on wednesday. i did o.k., but i gave away 6 points!! is that stupid or what? of course, that is one of the days i stayed up until 2:30 a.m. and woke up at 6:00 a.m. my brain said one thing, and my hand wrote another. and on the other question, i didn't finish reading the entire question before i answered it. the last give-away was when i should have stopped for a second and REASONED WITH MYSELF!!! oh well, live and learn!!

mexican cinema: we've been watching Cantinflas. seriously, i don't get his humor. yes, it's kind of funny. but i think it is really for stupid people. i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry!!! i just don't get it. what i really think is funny, is when my mom repeats one of his famous lines, "Que falta de ignorancia." when my mom says it, she is usually cutting someone down in the nicest possible way. that my friends, I LOVE!!!!

contemporary mexico: mas tragedia!! my goodness, did mexico ever get past the point of, "i'm going to shoot you because i don't agree with you!"??? let's see, madero, zapata, villa...and the hits keep coming. literally!!!!!

western civ: i have a test this tuesday. on a more serious note, my professor was speaking about elizabeth I on tuesday. he was saying that a woman's most important man in her life is that of her father's when she is a little girl. if she has a good father, she will grow up to be confident and have good self-esteem. if she doesn't...well the results could be sad. maybe it was the way he said it, maybe its that i have a more personal understanding of it, i don't know, all i know is that i nearly cried in class. what can i say? it's true.

that's it folks!! i have a new week ahead of me. i have a lot of things to do and very little energy to do it with on top of everything.

i bid you a good week! bonne semaine!!

good night, good people!!!
