Whew... I sludged through one of my midterms today (philosophy of education) and I am so glad that is over! So now it is time to unwind a little.... I am off to see a performance of the Vagina Monologues tonight and as you may know from reading my profile, I love the book... I remember when I read it for the first time I had to stop after reading "the little coochie snorcher". It just really got to me, it struck a chord in me and I couldn't read on because my eyes were all blurred with tears.... I cried quietly for about 20 minutes lying in my bed. I really love that book... Hail to Eve Ensler for writing it!! There were also parts of the book that really made me laugh, that is one of the reasons the book is so amazing.... it pulls at your emotions from every angle... well, I am getting picked up in about 15 minutes so I want to get ready.

I will right more about my evening later....

Hell yeah I'm a college grad.... would you like fries with that?

This entry is gonna be short and sweet... Today has been me hugging a hotwater bottle all day, I fucking hate cramps. I think I am going to climb into the tub.... nice and hot, with bubbles.

Today I went out for lunch at Jack Astor's.... it was kind of a special lunch today in honour of my mother's 60th birthday. Everyone in the family was there (even her ex husband - my sister's dad and his wife), needless to say, she was a very surprized woman when she arrived. I got her a retro wooden calendat, the kind you would see in gas stations and diners in the 1950's.... and when I gave it to her I nudged her and said "you remember when these were around originally don't you?" hehehe. Well it is cool because she can save it after all the months are gone, can't beat silk screened wood with dancing cowboys on it lol.

Went to meet my friend CG downtown and gave him tha papers he let me xerox for class, and we went out for coffee.... I nearly forgot his birthday is coming, hmmmm maybe I will make him a new CD... got some more ink done the other day.... still in progress though, but it is healing nicely, I can't wait to get more!

I am sitting here in front of the computer, trying to psych myself up to start working on an essay for English. Here is the topic: With detailed attention to a particular passage or passeges, analyse the style of Swift's A Modest Proposal. How does it express the persona's character and personal history? How does it express Swift's ironic argument?

I find myself posing the same question to myself again and again.... what the fuck am I doing in school for exactly? Ah suck it up, get it done.

>sigh
