| So I should be running and getting all shapely.
Instead I am reading about how awesome London is and making myself more depressed about this summer than before. Now all I feel like doing is wallowing in self pity as everyone else I know goes everywhere in the world while I rot away in Chicago.
I think I'm finally to that age where you realize that you don't get all your dreams, where you actually only get maybe one of them. And you have to choose. And I don't want to.
Moooooody. :-\

| As you may be able to tell, I am failing at finals. I ordered my mat board Monday and it's still not here. I slept through printing this morning, which means there is no way in hell I'll be able to finish. And I just can't seem to find any kind of motivation left in me to go the extra mile on my projects. I just don't caaarrrrrreeee anymore. Pah.
That's all really. I just watched Pocahontas, which was cool. Sadly, I can't turn off my brain and spent the whole movie marveling at how awesomely they used color in that movie (trust me, I was amazed).
Now someone needs to remind me how I have no time left and how I should be spending every second doing something productive, because I seem to be forgetting that.

| Poo poo.
I just want school to be over and blah. Totally not prepared to start classes again. Totally don't have anything ready to be printed, just an early printing time and the hope that can get off my ass soon enough to get something together tonight. I'm enjoying Elton John and just not caring really at all too much right now.
That and I desperately need an external hard drive. But I also need to buy photo shop because my trial ended three days ago.  Sad...I need a job that pays more so I can buy things that I need for scholarly pursuits...I would ask my dad, but I was told that I had to pay for photo shop and he pays for so much that I don't want him to have to pay for the hard drive. So, instead, I use my 1 gig flash drive that holds a whole, like, 4 images. Yay. 
That's all really. Whine whine.

| I totally just fell asleep by the window and now have one uber tanned, maybe burned, arm and one uber pale one.
Atleast it'll look like my left side went on vacation this break.
PS- Worst Easter holiday thing ever. My family wasn't supposed to leave until tomorrow, but they decided to leave early today....so I get an extra day all by myself in this place. And we all know how good Patrice is at being alone...(  ) That and I have no school OR work to worry about. I mean, I have SOME shooting to do and I could get a head start on my view camera final (but it'd be nice to have somebody drive me to shoot...it's a HUGE camera...oh, and Ryan took my upass, so I'm stuck in the West Loop all week too.... )
Anyhow, the only thing keeping me from calling from parents and telling them to turn around and take me to PA for three days (spending time with family just to avoid being by myself...I must be bad off...ha) is how nice it is outside. It's sweatshirt chilly, but all the windows are open and it looks like spring outside.  It'll be shitty and possibly rainy the rest of the week, so I'm basking in the slight mood boost it's bringing.
Aight, so two more things.
1) FUCK SPRING BREAK! Gaaah! Why does everyone have break the wrong week? -.-
2) What is there to do when you don't have ANY school OR work for a whole three days? What do I do? What do I stress out about? Do I just clean and get stuff out of the way I'm too lazy to do while I have school? And why can't I just relax?
::shakes head:: I don't get it. I used to be so good at being lazy and now I just can't do it. It's already driving me crazy. NUTS.
Okay, srsly, anyone who reads this...answer that last question there. I really am at a loss.

| So I'm sitting here OUTSIDE without a jacket and six million layers on enjoying the nice Chi-Town sunset overlooking Greektown and the fire department. I probably shouldn't be outside, seeing as I'm dying and all. See- I'm supposed to be at work right now. I called in at 11 and they told me I had to com in still, but thanks to stupid sickness going around I said "fuck it" and called again an hour before I was supposed to start and told them there was no way I was getting out of bed to work for five hours with a fever and crazy sore throat.
Lesson here- Don't ASK for the day off... command it off. Fuck being nice. It's overrated.
It is getting a bit chilly out here. So nice though! Although tomorrow the temperature is going to start dropping again, which is no fun. "Wintery Mix" is in store for tomorrow. Doesn't a wintery mix sound like some kind of tasty ice cream??? Well, it's not. It means gross, wet, and more sickliness. Fuck that.
I have to come up with a mini-project to make a slideshow about for Monday. I don't have to print or anything, just do a slideshow on the computer. I was going to do abstract close ups of metals and such, but then I thought of doing a slideshow of images that are more about the light as a subject. I don't know. I do have a good collection of those that this class hasn't seen, so I won't need to shoot that many extra. Plus, I think the metals idea is kind of lame. I don't know. I'll just shoot like a mad woman tomorrow before I go to the lab and after and see what I come up with. I really hope this sick thing doesn't get worse this week. I can deal with sickly weekends, because I just miss work. I really can't miss school though. Meaning I'll be dying all through class. That would not be fun.
Ooh! And we got a new ferret! Mr. F! As in Arrested Development "Mister F" and Mr Fantastic mixed together in one awesome ferret name. Mr. F is a fatty. And we don't know if he and MJ get along yet because he has to be in "quarantine" for two weeks to make sure he didn't bring any disease from PetCo (it's where the pets go). It's tough getting used to two smelly ferrets, but once Mr F is litter trained it will be much better because then we can just scoop it out right away, but now he hides his smelly poop in the bedding and it's no fun.
Alright, so really nothing exciting to "blog" about tonight. I might sleep for a little bit then try to eat something.
Wish me luck.
