Well, today was an absolutely nothing day. I feel like the old car...keep turning over the crank but just can't get it going.

Part of it is down to school. I'm beginning to feel like this semester is never going to end. The calendar says it's supposed to in two or three weeks, but I'm not so sure. If it's true it will be such a relief to be done with statistics and speech.

I managed to rebound on the statistics exam from the 80 on exam #2 to a 94 on the last one, so I'm feeling a bit better there.

As far as speech, I need to get a few more of them together and done. I think he wants 6 for a "decent" grade and I've done 4 (almost everyone else in the class have done 3 or fewer...two or three of us have done 4 and one guy has done 5). He also wants me to do "issues". The thing is, everything about my life for the last 12 weeks or so has been an "issue" or an argument of some kind, so I have no energy left for Iraq or the economy or women's reproductive rights or gay marriage or...or...or... Anyway, I might get an A on only six speeches because I'm one of maybe two or three in the class that have done speeches that have impressed him so much he wanted a printed copy for his files.

So today was mostly about reading the newspapers and taking naps with the furkids. I keep looking at the portrait I painted of Billie yesterday in class and now I know what it is I need to fix but I just don't have the energy to deal with it. Especially when I need to work on those speeches.

Splah.
