I'm so tired...I don't really let it on all that much..but yeah, on the way back from class today I fell asleep while walking apparently... >< Woke up though! By hitting a tree..

Anyways..It's cold and snowing and I feel pretty horrible and can't keep my eyes open..but I have work to do.  It isn't like some people who have a shitload of actual actual work..just mine has me sitting writing and staring at a computer screen for hours upon hours....I wrote for about twelve straight hours yesterday excluding grabbing some food.  My brain is struggling to articulate what I want to say so I try to sleep but I don't sleep well most of the time recently because I keep writing over and over in my head, and when I got up this morning I did some more work before almost promptly falling asleep at my computer and missing class due to not sleeping well.

I have a portifolio and writing journal due tommorow, a portifolio due thursday, an anthology due sometime soon as well along with studying for my final exam for economics.  Which amounts to about a 100 pages or so of typed written work I have to get done before finals week...

Anywhoo, yeah..my brain is fried so I'm just chillin' eating some breakfast for a bit before economics, then after that tis back to work organizing and reviseing and re-typing and typing some new things.  I'm gonna try to catch some shuteye, but I have some things due..so I have to choose between sleeping or missing the deadline.  I think I'll compromise with miss the deadline but turn in some actual good work and then nap for four hours before getting back to portifolio #1.  Tis likely I won't lose points for missing the deadline on account of my prof being an MFA student for creative writing and quite understanding.  On the upside I'm now finished with the four tests over the four novels I had to read, so that is out of my hair.

Anyways, I'll take something for the aches in my fingers and then let it set in while I'm in econ, though I'll probably be writing down on paper some of the critiques I need to finish while not really paying too much attention.  I don't think there really is much left in the class excluding the final.

It's starting to get cold here, monday it was 34 degrees I think.  Not sure I mind the cold for being cold, more like I mind that I feel cold when it's cold.  Dunno.

I didn't have my 8:00 class this morning so I slept in, lounged and fiddled with tribal wars.  Shall have to leave for econ in 45 minutes and then after that I'm supposed to meet Kenny in the union to work on our abberant game, world building and stuff.  So I'll be gone for a few hours, would rather not but oh well, duty calls and all that.

Tis a quiet morning.

Might add to this later.

Gah! Zombies!!!  At a train station!!! And...NO FRICTION! *screams!*

(This message brought to you by two hours of sleep and waking at 7:40 AM)

EDIT: That was a very strange dream.  Though the zombies bit was understandable just because zombies are cool, in an absolutely useless shuffling undead way.

It's early - but I'm up and about because of class and at 11-ish shall be leaving for a Styx concert in Chicago.  Yes I have it cleared with my poetry professor (He started singing Renegade when I told him).  I'm a bit down this morning *shrugs* But mostly looking forward to later.  When I get back though I'll have to get down to writing - two short stories for workshop due Tuesday, a total of about 30-40 typed pages between the two.  So yeah, lots of work when I get back but I already have the two stories pretty much planned out so it shouldn't be too tough.

Other than that - dunno.  Still waiting for my thingamajig to come in.

Going a bit crazy due to lack of gaming.

Annoyed at some other things too, myself mostly.  Sometimes I miss the complete and utter self-control with a taste of indifference I used to have.  Not much personality or emotion - but steady and calm no matter the situation.  I'm finding it hard to deal with some new things that pop up.  I still value and maintain a high degree of self-control but not so completely as I used to.  It gets annoying sometimes to get pulled this way and that but mostly just because I'm not used to it.  Funny, you'd think I would be at least partially after about a year and for the most part I am.  Some thing just worm their way in however, and I can't quite do much about it.  I woke up grumbling about it, and a bit sad too I suppose.  Mostly that I'd have to leave so early in the day.

Anyways, I need to get some quick packing done and jump in the shower.  Not gonna worry about breakfast even though I'm starving.  I'm hungry but not hungry.  *shrugs*  Oh well - at least I got this rambling out of my system.

Alright, so tis a new school year and all that.  Big thing is I am being pretty serious about this one.  So I worked on getting everything organized including a little online calendar thingy and have been studying frequently.  I also have taken up an economics course in preparation for a minor in that area.  Other than that I've been doing stuff as vice president for the gaming society - nothing really big but I do work to make sure everyone else is doing what they need to do.  *shrugs* 

I have a ton of writing classes this semester, but so far it hasn't been a problem..and as long as I keep up to date and organized everything should be alright.  A couple of buddies and I all need to turn in our portfolios this semester to continue the program so we've basically decided to get together sometime and help each other pick out what to put in as well as picking some stuff to send to the school literary magazine (which is a national magazine btw).  I have no idea whether anything of mine is good enough of course, but there were alot of people telling me to submit some of my poetry last year..so I figure what the hell, doesn't cost me anything.

I'd like to get on the magazine staff too, but I'm not sure how many openeing there are and what kind of criteria they look for.  Won't hurt to try with that either though.

Not sure what else to add - running an Abberant campaign which recieved some pretty extensive interest.  I was thinking of having a group of 8-9 then expecting an attrition of maybe two or so to bring it down.  However I've recieved interest to indicate something closer to a group of 14ish.  So i'll have to pick and choose.

Hmm..what else..not sure, may edit this to add, but for now I'm off.
