About half an hour ago I was so stressed. I got up at 6 this morning to register for classes and it took of ever to get into the site to register (almost 3 hours...) because so many people were registering. The thought of having all my studio classes set back another year was too much for me to handle...
The more I plan for the classes that I need to take the more I wonder what the hell I'm doing...

Anyway, I got into all the classes I wanted, well most of them, and it proved to me once again that I get so unnecessarily anxious sometimes - I am a wiener!
WIENERS!
(By the way,
puptastic has some funny pictures of dogs, if you scroll down a bit. Like puppies dressed up as brides.)

I have a 12 page paper to write today (why else would I be posting something if it wasn't just to distract myself...) but it isn't that bad because I got to choose what I wanted to write about, and decided to write on craft, Helene Cixous, and Julia Kristeva, which are all things that I wanted to learn more about... I've found feminist criticism really interesting lately.
Like this (NERD!) from Helene Cixous...
Writing is the passageway, the entrance, the exit, the dwelling place of the other in me - the other that I am and am not, that I don't know how to be, but that I feel passing, that makes me live - that tears me apart, distrubs me, changes me, who? - a feminine one, a masculine one, some? - several, some unknown, which is indeed what gives me the desire to know and from which all life soars.
I know it's kinda cheesy, but I like it. All of her writing is fragmented and nice to read. It's a nice change from the boring academic readings that I've been doing lately.
I've drank so much coffee I'm going to pee my pants. BYEBYEBYEBEYBY!
