The challenge does not wait, and life does not look back.

I called my uncle today. Then I called Amber. We talked a lot about mortality. It was depressing.

Today was not a depressing day, however.

I managed to finish every last crumb of my homework. How, I have no idea. I'm succeeding by the skin of my teeth. But who the fuck cares? I'm succeeding. except with this damn philosophy class. I got a 70 on my stupid fucking quiz. I looked at the answers I got wrong and I felt annoyed about being graded on something so fucking relative. I'm going to have a chat with my teacher and see if I can lawyer my way into a better grade. Again. But I can't keep pulling in less than an A and then argue my way out of it (I mean, I CAN, and I'm sure I will be able to get at least an 80 by the time I'm done talking). I need to start thinking like my professor. It is beyond strange to me that I have, as of right now, a C in philosophy, and that is by FAR my worst grade. I have an A in math. A fucking A. If you solve for that, it equals utter surprise, in case you were curious. I'm busting my ass apart in that course, obviously, but it's still odd that philosophy is giving me the hardest time.

I did my photo shoot today. I thought Christine and her family were going to stop by here, but they cancelled that plan, and we met at Acacia Park. Where I felt fairly intimidated by the other people milling around. Also it smelled weird there. But I wanted to go up to everybody and take their picture and ask them their names and chat with them for a little bit, though they really did make me exceptionally nervous. Hopefully I'll find time to edit those photos this weekend. My homework load for the next three days is intense. I have two papers to write (possibly three, since I haven't been to English yet. Maybe even four, since  haven't had to   shred of actual work in history, just an assload of reading. I could get up and go to my desk to check, but I'm about to go to bed and I'd really rather not. It's going to be the first time in almost a month I've gone to sleep before two. I'm so excited about this! Anyway, two papers, a discussion, two quizzes, math homework, and who knows what reading will be assigned to me tomorrow. But I have to get it all done by Sunday night. I will have no time this week at ALL. I'm working the entire week, every single day, and still going to school, plus I have my concert on Tuesday (I'm so excited!!). I'm having a girl night with Tosh tomorrow, and I am REALLY looking forward to that. We're going to dye our hairs, and watch Gone with the Wind, have dinner, and maybe wine.

I am so sleepy. And I have zero work to do. I can go to bed! It's Litt-tastic!!
