classes have begun.
so far, so good. mostly. pilates is lovely and destressing. astronomoy will be mad easy and the prof is totally hyperactive so i might even stay awake. is especially good because he bases his grading on the understanding that no one in the class is a science major and we all just need to fulfill our science requirements. ergo should be able to do well with little difficulty.
intermediate poetry 1 is a bit terrifying. i think the professor was kind of deliberately trying to terrify. but getting asked 'why poetry' and having to admit that i'm a fiction writer is unnerving. basically seems like it'll be a cool class, but probably tough. meep! i haven't written poetry in over 2 years so this should be interesting.
in other news my roommate showed up yesterday and we rearranged the room and now i have a little nest. my desk and bed take up most of my space and the bed's placed between the desk and a big tapestry so all the pillows on one side of the bed make it very comfy and small and kinda nest like. this pleases me immensely. and crystal got the window and put her desk in the livingroom so her space is all open and preventing of claustrophobia. so both of us are pleased with these arrangements. and all is well.
the only really un-good thing was (is) that i'm having panics about scholarship applications. having difficulty facing the concept that i might actually fail at something academic and i keep wondering if i'm wasting my time even trying. and i'm not organized like i should be. and it was really good the scholarship advisor had someone else coming in so i had to go and didn't have my panic attack in his office. must calm down, pull self together and revise essay so i can meet again tomorrow. and submit everything on friday.
and i have rehearsal tonight.
clearly sleep is optional.
