First Date and School Sucks
I'm doing things all out of order again. It seems that a 'normal' relationship is impossible for me. We've been basically living together for ten days now, and yesterday Zack took me on our first lunch date. We went to Little Tokyo, one of the two Japanese restaurants here in Milledgeville, and sat at the hibachi grill with two other couples-- both married, and both women 9 months pregnant. I was jealous. One of them was going to be induced last night at midnight and by now has a new little girl. Other than the bulging bellies making me jealous, lunch was great. Mmmm shrimp. I learned that Zack is a very proper diner when it comes to Asian food-- something about living in Singapore for a summer giving him good habits or something. It was cute.
We're also already keeping track of each other's spending habits and buying groceries together, as well as talking about where we'll live after our leases are out at the Village. We're not moving too fast, really. >.> And the funny thing is that we're both very aware of how ridiculous we're being, and remind one another of it all the time. I'm really hoping that he'll be able to get off work on Sunday so that I can take him home to show off to my parents. He's the first guy I've ever WANTED to take home, and the first one I've ever dated that my parents are actually going to like.
I'm on a ridiculous relationship high and it's not fading at all. It's awesome. I hope it stays.

In other news, school is either about to be really easy or about to kick my ass. I've got a paper to write for history, as well as really needing to study for the final. I was all set for it to be easy, and then I got a new professor at the end of the semester who apparently actually wants me to learn something. While being expected to learn is not something I normally object to, the sudden change is making me go..... well, fuck. I'm sort of screwed.
I think I've figured out how to do my project for Dr. Melançon, which is going to be time consuming but not difficult.
And my French exam could be easy, since I've got all the materials and my teacher really wants to give people A's, or it could be very difficult since it's oral and I have to talk to him in French for twenty minutes. The upside to this is that in order to do this oral exam thing he's had to schedule individual exams rather than having class starting tomorrow and going till the end of the semester.
Italian needs some work, I've got some workbook exercises and stuff to do that I really want to put off some more and ignore, but can't since I just failed a test. Sigh. I suck. Moreso because I know I'm completely capable of having made a 100 in the class but I didn't because I'm a lazyass and that pisses me off.
I'm behind in work for Creative Writing but I'm not that worried about it, I just have to sit down for a couple of hours and do it. Once again, I would be doing better here if I wasn't a lazy ass. I'll make an A though, I'm pretty sure, so it's okay. Not looking forward to editing and workshopping poetry, but at least after this I won't have to do it again for a while.
Registering for classes is being a bitch because I want to graduate early, but I can't get into the classes I need because they're all full and the professors won't do seat modifiers for me. I originally signed up for a bunch of interesting things, like more Italian and Computer Science, but I really need to focus on my major classes, so I've switched a few things around. I'm not really comfortable with signing up for a twelve hour semester.... Then again, I really wish I didn't have to take Intermediate Creative Writing, Queer Theory, French Culture, and African Literature at the same time. And I'm thinking about adding the E.L. Doctorow class too, so I'll have fifteen hours. I really need American or Brit Lit, but I can't get in. Grrrrr. At least I'm taking care of Intro to Shakespeare, Writing about Lit, and Music and Civ over the summer. Also, apparently I'm missing two legislative history requirements and I don't really know how to satisfy those-- they might be the Regent's history tests? I need to talk to my advisor about that.
Also I've been putting off the French 2010 test forever and I need to do it before the end of the semester. Fuck. I feel like I have a lot to do now. Sigh. School, DO NOT WANT.
