A Few Words about a Few Things

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 12:50 PM
"The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be."
-Marcel Pangol


CHECK OUT MY CONTEST HERE: [link]

I am still as busy as ever. During the week I work like crazy and use the weekends to catch up on sleep. By this I mean napping from noon until 5:00 on Fridays, then staying up until 6:00 in the morning watching TV shows on Hulu. I started watching Lost last night. Connor, who never watches TV shows, started watching it a few days ago, described it as an extremely long movie to justify his watching, and as a result, I am now hooked. This is why I never watched it in the first place. Though, that probably would have been better because now I get to play the catch-up game! And, I just woke up around 3:00 this afternoon. So, looks like homework tonight. The bad part is, this weekend sleep cycle screws me up for Monday, when I have an 8:20 class. Oh well, just a week and a half until Thanksgiving break and I can get things back on track.

But, I really wanted to address the contest. I've only received entries from two people out of several that signed up. With a little over a month left, I feel as though I need at least six entries for it to be a fair contest. If you are absolutely certain that you will get your entry finished in time (see the link at the top for details), then let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to call it off and compensate those who did send me their entries with whatever drawing they would like. Also, due to financial reasons, I won't be able to give subscriptions as prizes. I'm just not in a position to do that at the moment, and I apologize for that. Things have changed a lot since I posted the contest back in April/May. So, if you are certain that you will get your entry in by the deadline, let me know. If enough people are certain, it will stay open. I'll see what the count is like by Friday or so.

Course selection for next semester went well. I'm in two psychology classes: Research Methods (plus lab) and Personality and Social Psych. I'm also taking Intro to Sociology and a religion class called the Problem of Evil. So, it should be an interesting semester. I'm really ready for this one to be over. I'm just tired of dealing with a professor and sick of worrying about one of my classes that I find I really don't care anything about. So I've started to fall a little behind while investing all of my time into the two classes I really like :aww: But, overall, it's shaping up to be a much better semester than the last one.

Hope you all are doing well. I'll try to get some art uploaded over Thanksgiving break, but I'm not entirely sure that will happen.
