Blue Roses

I had a long day, but it wasn't so bad. My parents picked me up at 10, and we went shopping (I got cute St. Paddy's Day stickies) and out to lunch. So it was nice spending time with them again. : ) I like when they come down to visit....it's always fun. Then they dropped me off at 376 on their way home. We reviewed the entire class period! Last sem, it was all, "I'm not going to explain this again, you should know it." This time, it was, "Okay, sure we can go over that" with a smile. <.g> Not that he explained everything really well, but he made an effort! I was mildly panicked that every other question, I had no clue what people were asking, but when I saw graphs and stuff, I had a fairly good idea of what was going on. So hopefully I'll do okay with multiple choice. Then Jill and I went to the union between classes, and ran into my cousin David, who sat with us. Aunt Margaret had told mom that he was having problems with some classes, and I found out WHY when he told me he didn't go to his 1 and 3 classes on Mondays. I wanted to smack him upside the head, but he'll figure out eventually that going to class is good. <.g>

Oh, but then we were in 386...it was funny. We were talking about assessing narrative styles with kids, and how you ask about their favorite movie or TV show, or what they saw that weekend, and so she asked if anyone had gone to the movies this weekend. One girl raised her hand, and she asked her what movie she saw. The girl hesitated and said, "Well, um, I don't really want to say." The whole class started laughing and half of us called out, "Crossroads!" Which is indeed what she had seen. LOL But she got out of explaining the plot and stuff. <.g> It was just so cute...we all knew *exactly what she had seen. LOL And I actually want to see it, too--Aarti and I tried this weekend, but couldn't get a car. LOL So we're gonna try Friday night. I'm feeling pretty pro-Britney after Ash's experience with her.

Now I have to study again, but I so don't want to. I'm exhausted and sick of the entire class. But I don't know that I can afford to take tonight off, even if I do study tomorrow, since no class until 3. Maybe it'll help my mental health, though. I can finish my stories for tomorrow's class and maybe get some reading done, then I just have 376 tomorrow. Worth a shot.
