I just now came home to my room after a long day. 


I woke up and immediately got started on finishing my short story for Fiction Writing, which I needed to submit online before 1:00 when class started.  After wracking my brain for a good ending and driving myself crazy over a title, I finally finished and posted it in time.  Then, I went down the computer lab where our class was meeting for today and we all spent the entire class time editing stories from the other people in our small groups.  I managed to get one completely reviewed - long letter at the end and all - and submitted back to her.  Even when class was over, I stayed past and continued to work until around 3, and then I had to go and meet this girl about selling her one of the shirts I posted on the school's clothes "thrifty" Facebook page.  Then after that, I decided to go to Starbucks and have a nice hot chocolate and breakfast sandwich while I finished the last assigned short story needed to be read for Fiction Writing by Monday.  So I got that done early, which is good.  That's when I decided to go back to my building, but I didn't go back up to my room.  Oh, no.  I spent a good hour (or maybe two) in our computer lab, continuing to review the stories for the remaining people in my group.  I got one more completed and submitted back, and I read through the final person's story.  I inserted comments, but haven't written the letter, so I'll be sure to do that this weekend.  But yes, now I am FINALLY back in my room.  I've cleaned off the foundation from my gigantic zit that I acquired this week, thrown on a comfy hoodie, and am sat here in bed all warm and comfy, and it feels good to just relax and be thankful it's Friday.

I definitely plan on making this a weekend that will be completely devoted to relaxing in my room, doing homework, and having a sort of recovery weekend for my face: no makeup, no poking and pinching... just waiting for it to heal.  That sounds nice.  Ugh, I can't believe this zit has turned into a giant scab on my face.  I've told myself time and time again to just leave zits alone, but I never learn my lesson.  Hopefully my zit will be better, or at least significantly smaller, by the time I go home for Halloween weekend.  I really don't want to have to explain it to Mom.  Erg, skin problems...  So, let's see, what do I need to do this weekend?

✔ Write the letter for the last person's story in my Fiction Writing group.
✔ Clean our bathroom: it's my turn
✔ Write a critique for a girl's paper in Queer Studies.
✔ I think we're also supposed to read a few short stories for that class, but I can't remember which ones..?
✔ Finish the video quiz for my online  Psychology of Gender class.

Shouldn't be too hard, right?  Oh well, that's all for tomorrow.  I'm very tired and I feel like I've done a lot today.  It probably hasn't been that much, but I like to compliment myself and make myself think I did a lot in order to feel accomplished.  Hah.  But in any case, it's time for me to relax, temporarily shut off my brain and, again, be thankful that it is Friday.  I have a lazy-yet-also-productive weekend ahead of me.

Goodnight.
