Cold Before The Blizzard
Nov. 20th, 2025 05:02 pmWell, I've still got my cold, but I'm not so absolutely dead as I was the other day! I started taking NyQuil the other night, which conked me out enough, although I mainly just exchanged a fierce sore throat for a clogged nose. But I took my first nap all semester (!!!) yesterday, which is how you know it's bad! Thankfully, though, I've managed to BS my way through this week and I only have one assignment to do tonight. I have several to work on over break, though.
In my creative writing course, I've got a creative project to do--our professor wants us to do something that's not simple writing but ties back into what we've discussed, so this girl in my class and I wrote a song! Grey is going to help us put it together with his guitar skills. I'm lead vocalist, and the other girl is background vocalist as she wasn't confident enough to do lead vocals. We also have to figure out some sort of drum beat in GarageBand, which might be a little challenging, but on the whole it's really exciting!
We also have to revise some of our previous writing for that class, which wouldn't be that difficult except that he hasn't graded two out of the three major writings we've turned in (although to be fair, we only turned the last one in today.)
For my English class, I have to write a 4-5 page paper about some work in our textbook from one of the critical perspectives we've discussed. That I can do--I just need to sit down and grind it out. That's probably what I'll do on the study date Grey and I have planned for this upcoming week!
And finally, for my linguistics for the classroom class, I have to do a lesson planning group project. I've already come up with some good ideas and done maybe half of my work for that project, but I still have some left to grind out.
And I have an exam or two on top of that. Never again am I taking this many credit hours!! Now it's off to take a quick shower and do my one assignment--a "reading journal" for my creative writing class. I just want to go home for Thanksgiving already...
