Seems like anything that could go wrong today, did. It sucked. I am really considering dropping the art class I am taking. I am in it with James and it is co-listed with an Arch. E class, and I am one of two non-Arch. E or Civil majors in there, and the other girl is an engineer at least. We did drawings today and I swear he was more critical of my stuff. He told me once to start over and just looked at mine really harshly, even though after I saw other peoples work, I did about the same as most of them (there were a couple exceptional pieces, but most were average like mine). It was weird because he even started the class by saying that details did not matter, these were quick sketches and did not need to look identical to the objects we drew, but show their general shape and dimension, and thats what I did. I am no artist, I do not like free hand drawing, I prefer things like drawing out house plans and ideas like that, which I hope we get into. I am sort of worried that he looks down upon me..but it was only the second day, I guess it is hard to tell already. I honestly thought I did pretty good on most of my drawings, especially after seeing others, but he made it seem like I scribbled or something the way he looked at them...I dunno, maybe I am just imagining it. I hope so. james really wants me to take the class with him. I also felt like I could not afford all the art materials, but when I told James that, he said last night he ordered them and paid for them online already. More incentive to stay. I just cannot get anything less then an A in this class. I could take Art Appreciation and have an easy A, do I really want to struggle for a B or a C when I am aiming for a 4.0? I am confused...

Other then that, everything was small stuff really. I feel irritable, but it is because I have not been able to sleep well lately. Hope the semester gets better, otherwise I already wish it would end...

I do get free Slice of Pie because I had above a 3.5 GPA last semester though, from Kappa Delta :) Yay!

Not much to say really. Well I do, but will not bore you with a long entry today LOL. I will only have internet today, maybe a little tomorrow and then have to wait until January 3rd for it again at 3 PM when it gets hooked up in Rolla. Yay for moving back to Rolla! i am actually excited about classes coming up. Sure, some of them will suck, but I am excited to be back. I got my semester grades and got 4 A's and a C (Statistics, I hate that stuff, found out one of my classes this semester will be alot of statisitcs too.). So I have a 3.6 GPA for the semester. It helps alot for my overall GPA. I had a semester where I had like a 1.8 semester GPA, and finally getting it back up. My overall is a 2.8 now. Do good this semester and I will have a 3.0 :)

Christmas was good. Stressful but good. We had some fights with people, but overall, things worked themselves out. I like Christmas for giving presents to people and I think it went well. I got some nice stuff too. I do not expect much anymore really. My family is rather poor, and my mom has to buy for my little brother, along with my two neices and a nephew. Its more important to me for them to get an awesome Christmas, so I do not want her spending so much on me. I had awesome Christmases as a child, because we were better off, and its a struggle to give them half of what my sister and I got as it is. I do not expect a whole lot. Got some nice things for our house though from my family and James family. His step mom got us a HUGE couch and some other furniture thats nice.

Hope everyone else had a good Christmas. Looking forward to being back in Rolla...long week ahead of us. Lots of moving on our part.
