verbminxI overslept a little, and by the time I had showered and made it to class, I was well over an hour late (it's a very long class). Today we worked on painting large banners for some kind of multicultural celebration that's in a few weeks. We took plain white fabric, stapled it to wooden molding-type slats, and painted it with wallpaint. I wasn't really dressed for it, but I worked on painting a section of a banner red, got all my makeup work, and helped with some hanging and some cleanup. We were very busy little arteests today!
I was surprised and flattered that a few of the people in the class who I hadn't really thought had taken much notice of me or who I didn't think were friendly each took me aside and asked me how I was doing, if everything was OK with me, if I needed any help with anything, and so on. It was a nice feeling, to have people I barely know be concerned about me. When I was younger, if I missed a lot of school the other students made fun of me and were jealous that I was still getting As... I got teased a lot. I hated school back then, but I had to go, and at least I got to see my friends there. Now I don't have any close friends at school, but everyone is so much nicer and friendlier.
After that I was supposed to go take care of my computer problem, but I didn't feel like dealing with the traffic involved in going all the way over to the other side of town, especially considering I have to go that way tomorrow afternoon.
I came home, called my mom and talked for a while, called Boston Guy (hereafter known as either Wonder Boy or Boy Wonder or WB or BW or some similar permutation) and left a message, ate some veggie enchiladas, cleaned the garage quite a bit, finished cleaning off the front porch and sprayed around the door for bugs, downloaded a hopefully decent mp3 jukebox program for the mac, and finished up with the candle garden (though frankly I think it needs a few more candles). For the rest of the evening, I may actually go do my laundry, or I may spend more of the day doing housework, or I may sit around reading, or I might go to the library to spend more time on the Linear B and Genji projects.
Well, I have to do something...
