What a year

       It's already midway through November!!  Where did 2009 go?  I still remember ringing in the new year like it was yesterday.  Since that day I've had two semesters of school, a musical, and crazy events occur.  Today won't be a total day of flashbacks...I think I'll save that til next month! But I would like to pan over what I can do to improve what's left of this year.
       I would like to have one positive thing to say about a class after every class.  This semester hasn't been the greatest pick of classes for me.  Granted, it has somewhat improved over the last 12 weeks.  But I've seemed to be more negative lately and I think it's affecting how I act in those classes.  Watercolor is awful...or how the professor grades is awful.  So I am going to try harder.  I don't know how, because watercolor is tough and I feel like I've already been trying pretty hard.  I am going to find a good thing to say about that class everytime I leave.  It's going to be hard, because there is very rarely a highlight...but I am going to try!!!!
       For the last three weeks of the semester I want to stay as far ahead as I can.  There's three weeks left and then I am done for a whole month!!!!!!  That means Geology is going to be kicking my butt until I take that final.  Printmaking has improved greatly since the spat between my professor and I.  He is a much nicer old man now. Which makes class enjoyable.  My goal is to be finished with my last assignment before Thanksgiving...printed and all.  Which means that I need to be carving all weekend to be ready to print on Monday.  Leaving more time for Geology and Watercolor!! 
         Geology is going alright.  I have just been trying to learn at my own pace by reading the chapters thoroughly and then writing what I highlighted.  It seems to be sticking a little better...I'm just having time slip away from me.
         Alright well, it's 9:01 and I need to get started on that watercolor painting if I don't want to be up til forever.  Oh yea...and I've got to keep up on all fo this while I'm starting to get sick. STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!

Goodnight and God bless!!!
