Oh Monday, how I love thee...and by love, I mean hate!
Oh finally Moooooooooooonday is almost a thing of the past (only about 18 more minutes! woohoo!). Not that this Monday was so terrible, but it was just looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. And I can't stress enough how looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong it was! I hate Mondays for a number of reasons:
1) It's Monday. The start of the week. The day after Sunday. The end of the weekend. Need I say more?
2) Mondays start too early (9am) and are filled with work (9-11, 3-4, 6:30-9:30)...I don't complain about the excessive amount of hours in one day (for an on-campus job) but it'd be nice if they were consolidated into three hour periods in the morning (with a lunch break) and then three hours in the afternoon, to be finito at 4pm in order to be almost finito with the day.
3) Mondays are my piano lesson day, and I most likely haven't even looked at a piano all weekend, much less practiced one.
4) Mondays are just, Mondays.
5) Mondays are the day when that history homework that I've had since Thursday to do finally catches up to me, and I have to cram it all into (like an 8 page paper) one very long day.
6) Mondays are the day when everyone seems to get sick. So here's to hoping I don't!! :)
7) Mondays just suck. They should be banned.

Okay, so that's a list of reasons I hate Mondays that barely even touch on why exactly I hate Mondays. :)
Anyway, I've been trying to post a very politically charged post, but every time I try, something goes wrong. I think blogger is trying to tell me to keep my nose out of politics...Hmph.
Got to pick (start picking) classes today - agh!! It's weird to finally put down HIS 490 and MUS 440 (History Senior Sem and Senior Recital) after (AGHHHHHHHHHHHH) four years!! Along with a 300 level history class (get this: to be a history major, you need to have 8 credits - roughly 2 classes - of 300 level or higher, not counting senior sem, but I had HIS 370, and HIS 300 for a total of SEVEN credits...scowls...so I have to take another class, but luckily they're offering one I wanted to take anyway!). I'm trying to decide whether or not to take the Matzke class at the 200 level on the Middle East, but maybe I'll just audit it. Yeah for doing less work. As of now, I once again have zero on the Friday classes! But we'll see. I might just bypass taking the Matzke class and take Woodwind techniques, and hopefully find a way to take an independent study on teaching piano lessons...but because the person that is most qualified to teach the class is an adjunct, I might not be able to take it. Boo. Oh well...woodwind techniques is good too, maybe I can take a class on piano teaching after I get out of college at UWM or something.
However, as I was leaving Rodman tonight, half paying attention to my surroundings because it was a helluva lot colder at 11:30pm than it was at 1:30 when I was last outside...I noticed something dart across the path about 10 feet in front of me. Looking up, I saw it - a DEER!! Awww! It was so pretty and cute and so in front of Rodman (by the Roy Staab thingy)...and surprised the heck out of me...because it sure wasn't the prairie!! So yay, seeing a deer almost up close made my day. Can we say easily amused?? Yeah, I thought so. Yay deer!
Sigh...well it was an extremely long day, so I'm going to put on pj's and hop into bed!!
