Ugh, i'll be honest, this journal is probably going to be a bit whiny. But i've been sitting around, stressing out, and i hate that feeling. So hopefully typing something out and getting feedback will at least ease myself a bit

Art may slow down.. or speed up.. i can never tell when i'm stressed... but it's midterms in the semester right now, and i'm not doing as well as i thought i was in my classes. I've missed a lot of my P.E. classes because my knees have been injured (for an unknown reason, but they hurt like a bitch some days) and lately i've been passing out before my afternoon classes and i end up sleeping through them. I missed one of my French exams earlier in the year because i was sick... and that hit my grade HARD. English is a bitch, and i'm slowly falling behind my tasks in 3D animation. But at least i can catch up on that.

I'm not stressing out about all that as much as i'm stressing out about class sign ups. They're coming up and I don't know what classes to take next semester. I've been needing to see a counselor about my 2 year plan for a Multimedia AA degree for the entire semester. and now that sign ups for the Fall semester is coming up, i REALLY need to do that. and what's worse, is that i'm going to be in Washington all week next week to see my dying grandfather. at that point, I WON'T BE ABLE TO DO MY COLLEGE WORK. Like, at all. And that's when class sign ups start. So... i have to talk to a counselor THIS WEEK if i have any chance to know what i need to do. Only thing is, the counseling office intimidates me... like... A LOT. All of the other offices (Student services, Financial aid) are really nice and patient. The counselors office, is not. They're huffy, impatient, and rushy. I'm sorry, but for the things i need from them, and for my own personal comfort, i wish they would take their time and calm down. I know they have to see a whole bunch of students everyday... but for pete's sake...

But... for now... I'm trying to focus my stress on motivating myself to go to class today.. because my knees are once again acting up on me.. and my Badminton class has the whole 'no excuses' policy for absences... and i've missed a LOT of the class because of this injury... and im once again worried because the teacher said 'if you miss more than 3 classes, you might as well drop out' ... WELP. I dunno if that's true, or if that's just to intimidate students.. but... Aie.....

Anyway... bitching over. Continue with your day.
