what i got

Just at school. 

In between classes, heavy eyelids waiting to present a painting i did for my shakespeare class. I had to pick a play we had discussed and then engage the dialogue in an artistic way, so I painted the madness in the woods, the very strange happenings of the forest, took me quite a long time to get it presentable.

It is not something i would paint really with out needing a decent grade, i guess i paint flowers and waves not so much the happenings of a shakespearean comedy.

Mike played the Rob Bell series while i painted so there was some good food for thought as i sat on the floor trying to perfect the head of a donkey...

The weather today has surprised me and is so lovely. Sun is out wind is gone and the day is mild, mild, mild. I am so happy. I miss the warm weather, i miss 75 degree winters or a cold day being 40 degrees so we must break out the uggs... 

Not sure what to do tonight, I am getting over that nasty little kidney infection so i am still quite tired, but the fever is gone so that makes such a difference!

Earlier this week was so rough... my mom called and I was in the throes of dry heaving at work because of the infection. Haven't thrown up in so long was not excited about the prospect of doing so at work...or at all period.

Something on my mind lately... I really wish i was a good public speaker. I am not. I freeze up so bad. I am so tired of panicing before presentations, I feel like such a fool up there, it's like i can hear the teacher saying to themselves, o she is so unprepared, but its not so, I promise, I am just terrified and so my information is brief and quickly spat out...

I just have to work on it i think, mike is so at ease with it. I am jealous of this peace.

just even having jealousy and peace in the same statement is a strange oxymoron into itself-

O my poetry teacher is doing a reading tonight down at UIC i am super stoked- her work is so cool, i just have to figure out how to get to UIC... i think it is somewhere in the southside.

Mike and I are deliberating about Kenya this summer. We want to go, dont know what to do, or how to do it. waiting to hear about it.
