A Dreary Day in the Life of Clare

I woke up at 8:00. Well, my alarm woke me up at 8. I hit the snooze button...9 more minutes of sleep...and the dream I was having. It goes off at 8:09. I hit the snooze button again. I can afford to sleep in at least once more because I stayed up so late last night. Late being 1:33. Maybe it was more like 1:45...I can't remember. Anyway. After I had hit the snooze button a second time, I realized that my roommate would probably not like that my alarm was going to go off for a third time. Looking at the fuzzy numbers, I realize I should get up so I'm not late for my 9:00 class anyway. Alright, time to get up. Ready? 1, 2, 3... ok, I need to stay awake. Where are my glasses? There we go. Now I can at least see, although it doesn't really help keep me awake today. At least I'm not sore today. Street painting can really take a lot out of you. I have been sore for the last two days. Today I'm good though, and it doesn't hurt to climb down the ladder of my bunk bed. Ashley is in her bed sleeping still...lucky duck. I want to sleep. Let's check my email...and the weather, it looks pretty bad from the window today. Finally getting over to my computer (which is 7 feet away from my bed) It's dark, but not too dark. Hey, at least I can see my screen and the papers still piled on my desk. I get to check my email. Hm, note on facebook. Patrick again. I smile, happy to hear from him. But alas, he's being difficult. He's supposed to tell me what he wants to eat for a friend's wedding, but he makes things more difficult.
I should wash my face.
I get my towel from it's hook and my toiletry bag...I don't like dorms anymore. Exept that they clean the bathrooms for you. However, you are sharing with at least 20 other girls on the floor. Oh well, this sink is reasonably clean. Crap. I forgot my facewash. I'd consider just using water, but that could turn out bad.

Finished, what to wear? Something kinda dressy but comfortable. Maybe this shirt will work with a blouse? Well, maybe a sweater over it to make it look better. yeah, that works. Okay, comfy jeans today, but that means uncomfortable shoes...o well, I'll deal with it. I move a few things on my desk, remembering to take my ID with me when I go to class. Then I brush my teeth. Yeah I know I was already in the bathroom. another trip. I see a friend in the bathroom who doesn't seem as enthused to see me. Or else she's tired. Oh well. Another problem for another day. Check mail again as well as weather. Hm, rain all day, better take my umbrella. Then I have to make sure I have everything in my bag. Uh-oh, where's my ID? Crap, I just had it. I look for my ID, but can't find it. Go figure, I just had it, how did I loose it IN MY ROOM? Same friend knocks on the door and asks if I'm ready. She always seems impatient when she's waiting for someone...especially me. Maybe it's my imagination. I say yes and grab a jacket and umbrella, stuffing folders and a sketch pad into my bag. I never seem to be ready ontime.
In class we had critiques. Once I put up my work, I found a whole lot of problems with my posters. Go figure, should have looked at stuff before I presented it for the critique.

After class, I met a friend for lunch. We talked about the sub contract for our housing this summer. We're renting to people. I had to find a contract and type it up. It wasn't too bad, just difficult at first. I don't find things on the internet as well. That's what I stayed up until 1:45 for. We went over it and corrected a few things while eating lunch. My salad is frozen...how am I supposed to eat a frozen salad? After lunch, which took around 30 min, I went to my room to fix the contract, check my email, call my internship guy, and sketch some stuff for my sister's graduation programs. After talking to Mr. Rebman for half an hour, shoot, I'm late I realize that I have 10 min to get to band, and be prepared to play. Ashley and I walk over to FAC in time for a grueling rehersal. The band doesn't seem to be able to focus so our conductor pushes us harder. Go figure. I love when we have to play the same thing over and over and over and over again.
After band is quartet rehersal. Really all we have to do it fill out evaluations since we already had our concert...which we rocked at. How do I fill out an eval for a class that is basically a lesson with three people? After that is done, more work to do. And it's raining. Well, at least there's thunder and lightning. Seems wierd, but I like storms. A flash of lightning and I smile. There's a clap of thunder...1, 2, 3, crack. That one was three miles away, supposedly.

I get back to my room and start stressing about a class project, I decide to seek help from a few friends which don't help. It's not their fault. If I don't have an idea, how can I get them to help me with it? And this is where I am. Stuck in class with no ideas. Well, no great ideas. I have one. Make an alphabet out of found letters, but that requires more photography and all my previous work scrapped. Which I will probably do anyway. So, do I do the boring alphabet with photos or find a different topic? It's kind of hard to change now, since it's due in two or three weeks. I predict a lot of work ahead of me.
