i’m in early, both to earn extra hours in preparation for scotland next week, and because i have work to do, and because i’m supposed to be in class all day, 8-4:30. “fundamentals of orbital mechanics.” some of it i’ll already know. maybe a lot of it. we’ll see. somehow, whenever i sign up for classes, by the time they roll around i am swamped with things to do, and this time is no different. it’s like clockwork–sarah has to take a class? oh, but she has a lot to do! {stressssssss}
i’ll probably be here until 7 tonight, although we’ll see. the air handlers are still not working in my building, and it is stuffy in here. but the work must get done. i have a deadline.
pictures from the weekend visit to atlanta are posted here for those who are interested.
(12:42 p.m.)
class this morning was sort of dull, and not helped by the fact that i am sleepy to begin with. the instructor hasn’t told me anything yet that i don’t already know, which is disappointing. i hope this afternoon will be better.
i realize now that though i enjoy taking classes sometimes, the extent of my enjoyment is very dependent on the length of the class. three days a week for an hour each day is something i can deal with. being in the same class for an entire day is more difficult.
i am still feeling down today and can’t explain why. i’m sure it has something to do with fatigue, and with the continuing gray weather. after two weeks of activity with good friends, i feel lonely now.
(10:25 p.m.)
i accidentally read an old email that i had forgotten about. i wish i hadn’t read it.
i had dinner tonight with gavin and becca, which was fun. it turns out that after some coaching, i knew how to make some pretty good veggie quesadillas! and i watched becca make guacamole in hopes of being able to do it myself someday. hee. i really should take a cooking class.
i find that my biggest problem with cooking is that i don’t have any idea how long various foods last, fruits and vegetables in particular. cooking for one is hard enough, but when you add in the fact that half the time i don’t know if something has gone bad or not, it can just be annoying. i need someone to make me a list of fruits, vegetables, meats, and some dairy and how long each of them will last and how they should be stored to make them last longer and how to tell that they’ve gone bad if they exhibit no outward appearance or odor of having gone so. bad, that is.
is anyone else confused? i need cooking help!
