August 30

Ok, so I had a little freak out this morning because I realized my first big paper is due in 10 days! Ahh!  I need to focus because I have one due on Sept 10, another on Sept 14, and another on Sept 15th...Class was good, but I realized I am becoming the teacher's pet. I sent her a list of things to do in LA, and she came up and personally thanked me before class. Then, because we had a group thing in class last week, there was a little prize and my group won! I got a UQ water bottle, which is actually just what I needed.. Then I must've raised my hand like 5 times in class. UGH. The rest of the students must hate me because I'm becoming THAT person.

Anyway, then I had a mini freak out about some personal issues that took my focus for about 40 minutes of prime library study time. Luckily, my brain's spin cycle was interrupted and I realized it is best to just leave some things alone and not cause unnecessary drama. So, I studied in the library for a bit, decided on the topic for my assignment due on Sept 24th, and then went home. Instead of studying there, I talked to friends and family for a long time and then power-napped. Tried to study, ate dinner, etc. Michael left for Cambodia today, so we have the house to ourselves (and dog-sitting duties) for the next few weeks.

I saw a movie preview for a chick flick that I want to see, although I already know it's gonna remind me a little too much of my current situation. Last night, I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time in a while and realized with sadness that it's not my favorite movie anymore. I no longer believe that people can't belong to each other, and I don't feel as flighty as she does anymore. I am sad that I don't relate to her character anymore, because it is such a romantic idea, but then again, maybe this is a sign that I'm actually growing up. I'm not a scared, helpless little girl anymore. Don't worry. Taming of the Shrew still applies to me. I am still waiting for someone to force me out of my stubborn pride. Haha
