Not much of a "daily blog" (haha). Had a busy last few days coupled with bad not-as-good-as-it-could-be internet. I spent much of the past weekend working on a research paper due today. Just finished most of it up, I have to also give a presentation on it today--yuck! Anyways, I also was able to visit my father again this weekend, and rode the 4-wheeler around. He was kind of in a bad mood (which is typical for him). He all-but demanded I drive my sister's over to his place for their court-mandated weekly visit (long story). I find that when he is having his man-period it's much easier just to say nothing or agree completely with him.
Last night I drank way to much coffee, and I had to exercise a lot just to be able to get to sleep. I feel that "caffeine hangover" a little bit now--not a fun feeling at all, and to make it worse, it's so much more difficult to do meditation and mindfulness (feel spacey). I have class in about 40 minutes, then after that I need to go to the library to fix spelling mistakes and print out this paper--hopefully I have enough time to create an outline for the presentation. Oh, that reminds me, there was this weird sign on the bathroom door (I live in a dorm) that said there would be a floor meeting today at 7 to address "problems on the floor" (I hope it's about that annoying kid that blasts rap music with his door open).

Finished up my paper at the library about an hour ago. I then went to the dining place and picked up a chicken thing with bacon and a Greek Yogurt (collecting them both use up my meal plan and as a gift to my mom...she loves them). In about 30 minutes I have that presentation in the woman inequality class (yikes). The email she sent us said that we just need to talk about the low-wage worker we had to interview, but I think I'm ready to talk about the book as well.
Random thought: I notice when I get nervous, my brain automatically tries to shift towards mindfulness. So nice when mindfulness becomes a habit, it's so easy to get into the habit of doing the opposite.

My presentation went well, but we got a test back today, and the result depressed the hell out of me. I some how missed a question (only three essay questions on the test) and I ended up with a 71 (there were some bonus points). So with one screw-up I lose an entire letter grade (from A to B) because the test counts as 1/3rd of the final grade. Really takes the wind out of my sail, which isn't good considering all the work I have coming up. Anyways, I just got back from a "mandetory" floor meeting which was a complete waste of time. All they talked about was how people need to stop urinating on the toilet seats and stop getting hair everywhere from shaving. It was funny because another thing that was mentioned was "people playing loud music and leaving their doors open" (the kid across the hall always does this, was funny to see the look on his face). Oh, and they also mentioned how girls shouldn't be using the men's bathroom (I don't say 'woman' because that isn't very womanly). Well, that's about it, I might do some studying tonight--have a big test in french coming up.
