before I get into a rant about how ridiculous my life is right now, meet margaret =]. she’s the newest monster in my shop right now who I haddn’t showed to my blog flowers =].

you probably want to quit reading now because the rest is just me whining about my life. =].
On a more depressing note – my life is beyond chaotic right now. I was dumb enough to try to take 17 credits at once, because my school offers a deal where if you pay for 12 credits (12 credits is a full time student) you can take up to 17 for no additional cost. Everyone told me not to tak emore than 15. that i’d be over my head. but I kept thinking ‘that’s throwing away free money!’ which is something I just can’t let myself do. So, I signed up for 17 credits. and the first few weeks were fine, and although I’ve been busy through out the semester, it was managable until now.

Now that there’s less than 2 weeks until thanksgiving break, and less than 3 weeks until finals, things are CRAZY. my college has a rule that professors aren’t allowed to have large papers or projects due the week of exams unless that project or paper IS the exam. So instead of professors saying hey okay I shouldn’t put a huge project and/or paper really close to exams – they say ‘oh well i’ll have a project worth 15 percent due the last week b4 exams, and then exams that are 25 percent of the grade due the next’ IN EVERY CLASS. so, i have HUGE projects and papers due in every class plus exams coming up and it’s just CRAZY. I have to write 4 pages tomorrow (the 4 pages are due monday) for the first draft of a 12 page paper that’s due next week.

monday night i have a study group for this really important debate we’re having tuesday morning.

i have a test that’s worth 25 percent of my total grade in a class due tuesday, I got it friday and wanted to do it before now but i lost the stupid thing and can’t find it for the life of me. smart move on my part, I know. but still insanely frustrating.

Tuesday I have to be up at 5am to watch my little sister and get her off to school, as well as Thursday, and every tuesday and thursday from here on out. which is nice because i finally have a mini job but that’s SO early.

Thursday I have a craft show at my college’s library. which is cool yet stressful as it’s my first craft show. I have so much I’d like to get done before then but I’m sure it just won’t be able to happen.

I have a really bad sore throat right now, to make things worse. and my body just doesn’t react well to stress at all. my face is broken out worse than it has been in a couple of years. It’s been taking me forever to fall asleep and when I do fall asleep I don’t stay asleep very long at a time before waking up and having to struggle forever to get back to bed.

we still have a lot of work to do on the apartment since the fire last friday. the cupboards are still all down, my dad finally got them back to us because he sanded them which was awesome, but we still have to stain them and get them back up. so we have significantly less cupboard space than we’re sued to so things are just kinda thrown about everywhere in the kitchen. the carpet still needs shampooed probably at least two times over. but i feel like i can’t even begin to worry about the house until I get things set up with school.

I put a notice on my etsy that although i’m not shutting down my shop I will take forever to get things shipped out if anyone decides to purchase. I feel bad having to do that and feel like a bad shop owner. but i’d rather be honest and tell people my life is too crazy to promise i can get to the post office within a day of getting payment right now. doesn’t help any that my town is so tiny that it closes for an hour lunch and closes at 430 everyday, and is only open until 11am on saturdays.

okay I think I’m done complaining now. whew. sorry guys.
