in a shade painted green...

sunday's typically get the best of me. i think it's because i do everything i need to do the rest of the week, so when sunday comes around, i've run out of things to do and get bored and lazy. rob typically uses sunday's to get some of his own stuff done, and the kitties usually sleep all day, leaving me to find my own means of entertainment. sometimes that's painting or cleaning, or just chilling out playing video games, but today has been pretty slow and unproductive.

so far today i have almost completed the hard stage of guitar hero I and II, as well as sorted through and organized the mass of photos i've had laying around for a few months. i guess that's productive in some sense, so i can't really feel too badly about that. :)

i still need to do some studying for my gov. II class and begin writing my paper also. i have to pick a position on two social issues and two economic issues and then figure out which political party i identify the most with. *yaaawn* we chose our topics last thursday and i went with energy and transportation issues for economic, and human rights and homosexuality/gay marriage for social issues. easy enough. now it's just finding the motivation to actually write the shit out. i figure that will come around 1 a.m. tonight or so.

as for the rest of my life, not much is happening really. i'm registered for all my fall courses which ended up being 13 hours worth. two of my courses are online though, so it should be easy. plus, i only actually go to class monday thru wednesday, so i get a four day weekend which kicks ass. and those classes are all evening courses too which will make getting a job a hell of a lot easier. i'm still going to do the substituting thing, assuming i get all the paperwork finished up and turned in, but i think i'll probably go ahead and look for something a bit more concrete. we'll see, i may just try and take it easy this semester so i can get finished up and look at transferring in the spring.
i'm still in debate on where that's actually going to be to though. i have it narrowed down to two schools: TAMU-C and TWU. both are good schools, and both have their advantages and draw-backs.

TAMU-C means that i would move into my own house in greenville, thus not having to pay rent or anything, and being able to live alone and have pets. however, that means living in greenville, and probably having to work there too...ick. plus, TAMU-C is a fairly large school, and i don't really like the campus. not to mention, what i wouldn't be paying in rent would end up being spent on gas since the school is actually thirty minutes outside of greenville.

on the other hand, TWU is a much smaller campus and the class sizes are comparable to those i have at quad-C. it also will accept all of my credits, i believe, and has a good reputation for education and art majors. it's a nice diverse school. however, the problem there is that it's about 45 minutes to an hour from where i currently live, which means i would most likely have to move closer, or bite the bullet and make the drive a couple times a week. neither really sounds appealing, but both beat living in greenville in my opinion. :)

anyway...just thinking out loud. i've got a month or so to figure it out, so no worries. i think i'm going to go heat up some queso and enjoy that while i play some guitar hero for a bit. have a great week!

*****on a side note, the band nickel creek is cool, or at least what i've heard is good. so are the good luck joes.*****
