kjpepperI talked to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sundart a bit this morning and she helped me make a list of all the scheisse I have to do for various classes, the assignments I have to catch up on, and things I have to do in general. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but this was really hard for me - I don't generally admit when I'm behind or having trouble with shit, preferring instead to hide and lie about the extend of my crapola and how it's affecting me, but this morning was really helpful. I also talked to one of my CS professors about my various crapola and even though I have to get one of the assignments done like tonight (aaaack) the rest of it seems workable. One more class and some organ practice to go. Maybe I can do this. sundart says my list isn't insurmountable... I hope she's right.
I'm standing in the student center underneath one of the plasma monitors which is currently running Headline News, which is by turns both amusing me and pissing me off. The amusing stuff is watching a Viagra commercial featuring third-nondescript-white-guy-from-the-left leaping about in a paroxysm of elation in slow motion set to Queen's "We Are the Champions." The stuff pissing me off is what's in the actual news - the usual ("Bush backs gay marriage ban!" I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!), the WTF? ("Is The Passion of the Christ too violent for your kids?" Hi, it's rated R for a reason, people. If the title was, say, Die Hard 4: the Vengeance of the Christ we wouldn't be having this discussion... I just hope that years from now kids are fucking crucifying the bullies instead of bringing guns to school - I'd love to see THAT violence-in-the-media debate) and the just plain useless ("Fifth grader suspended for bringing the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition to school." Ah well, his mama will have plenty of time to take him to see The Passion of the Christ.)
Need food. Then class. Then running about like headless chicken.
