owie!

I am a little ball of cramps today... have been eating chocolate and alternating my heating pad between my lower back and my abs. Watched Tenchi and Weakest Link and Daria, and talked to Autumn for a few minutes earlier. I've knit more rows onto the fuzzy black scarf I'm doing. I hadn't done any knitting during most of last week. I also made some headway in The Magic Mountain.

FINALLY received a "request for further info" response card from the MFA School in Boston, which is affiliated with Tufts and trains ppl in studio art, design, art history, and so on. I doubt that my current grades are good enough to get into Tufts, though... how much more Wrong School purgatory am I going to go through? I've been at the same 2-year school since 1994 (1992 if you count dual-enrollment classes I took in high school). Now I am finally old enough to be an independent student financially, but I've been so miserable at my current school that my grades aren't what they could be. Sigh. I guess we'll see.

I started reading my friends' entries again last night. I'm not catching up - just picking a starting point and reading from there, and backtracking on a person-by-person basis if I seem to have wandered in during the middle of some major crisis.

My uncle's fiancee... who I usually like even tho her hijinks aggravate me... has decided to "go vegan". Is forcing her already malnutrition-suffering 7-yr-old son to join her. Of course they cheat a lot on social occasions. But I'm wondering who will develop bald spots and pernicious anemia first. (I'm not saying that everyone who is vegan has these problems, just that in this situation I think there's a good likelihood, for various reasons I won't go into here.) Hopefully the cheating will stop my small cousin from developing horrible diseases.

I'm hungry... I've eaten nothing but cookies and chocolates today. I'm going to eat some nice chicken and rice soup and bed up with my books and knitting. I situated my new shelf a few hours ago and have put some books on it already, so I think I will also do a little more in that direction, and drink some tea.

hope your cramps alleviate, tea always helps me!

what are you interested in studying? i attend the art institute of boston, right around the corner from mfa. it's a small, friendly school that cares much more about talent than grades, and it's less than half the cost of the mfa! you can find out more here:

feel better!

i think i may have better grades than talent. my major right now is graphic design, but i am thinking of changing it yet again to something with art history and museum studies.

my problems are more like... i was the total brainiac of my last art history class, but i got a C because i missed the last test because of all the stuff with my stepfather dying and me getting sick. all my grades up to that last 0% were between 98%-110%. I was supposed to take the test this past fall, but I wasn't well enough. I'm really bummed because I did so well in the class otherwise, and it hurts me as a potential AH major, you know? :)

(i'm also thinking of doubling my GD major with an English major, which is a major reason I am looking at Northeastern). but definite thanks for the AI info... I will check it out.

yeah, aib doesn't have much in those areas, so i guess northeastern or something would be better for you. good luck in whatever you decide on!
