so what’s been going on with me this week? Monday night, Jorn helped me study for my stanza forms test. he now knows way more about sonnets than he ever wanted to, but I got a 92 on the test! the ones I got wrong (in case you were wondering) was the Rubaiyat Stanza (I put heroic couplets, because I’m a moron who doesn’t check over my answers, and if I had checked over I never would’ve put that because heroic couplets rhyme AA and a Rubaiyat stanza rhymes AAXA!!), and one of the sonnets--I put that it was a nonce sonnet (ie, not any particular type of sonnet, just a 14-line poem with a rhyme scheme particular to that poem), but alas, it was a Miltonic sonnet, which I don’t think was very fair since he had already had a Miltonic sonnet on the test. he said he would’ve taken either Miltonic or Petrarchan (they’re pretty much the same thing, just that there’s no stanza break in the Miltonic, while the Petrarchan breaks between the octave and the sestet), but it was the rhyme pattern that screwed me up and made me think it was something else, so I still don’t think it was very fair. but whatever, I don’t care, I got my phucking A.
so the test was Tuesday morning, and Tuesday night I went to work at the HLC till 7pm, then went grocery shopping and then to Jorn’s in a big ol’ rush. Wednesday night I rushed around sneakily in order to move Jorn’s new table into his apartment and have it assembled before he got home from work, and he was pleasantly surprised. then we went out for a date! we had pizza at CiCi’s, which is an all-you-can-eat pizza place that actually has pretty decent pizza for cheap. and then we went to Target and got him decent black dress shoes and *black socks* so that he can be professional at work on Monday. I am so proud of him, by the way, with this new job and stuff, and he didn’t even whine at all when we out shoe shopping. and you all know how he feels about shopping, and about owning more than one pair of shoes. but in a “very professional work environment” like the one he’s going to be working in, one cannot be wearing brown shoes and white socks with one’s black dress pants. so he shopped admirably, and apparently the shoes are pretty comfortable. then we went to the movies and saw The Scorpion King, which I mentioned before. it was a great night, the only downside of which was that someone forgot his wallet in his apartment and so his girlfriend had to pay for everything. but it’s all good, because he’ll just write me a nice check. :) oh, and the other bad thing was that i somehow ripped a great big hole in the seat of my jeans. but i think it's mendable. i'll be mending it, in any case. i just can never wear those jeans around my mother ever again, because she'll think i'm so poor and try to give me money.
yesterday was a superfun day! I spent the whole day eating and hanging out in my professors’ backyards! both my professors decided to have the last class of the semester at their houses, so from 11 to 2, I was at one professor’s house, and he ordered a lovely lunch for us from Jack’s Corner, and it was ymmuy. and from 2 till 8 I was at my other professor’s house, workshopping poems and then drinking champagne and eating pizza. it was a really, really great day.
tonight: Hanging out at Jorn’s. I plan to eat cheese and watch a movie and phucking RELAX.
tomorrow: Work at Blandwood 10 to 2 (and get paid for it even!), then stop by the store for cake mix, then make the cake and decorate it, then go to the potluck dinner at Nancy’s house. after that, laundry and pant-mending and another exciting Saturday night.
Sunday: Sleeping in, reading the paper, and working at Blandwood 2 till 5. then eating some dinner, calling my mom, and going to the SAI mtg at 8pm.
Monday: Finally getting together with Dr. Langenfeld to talk about the summer assistantship hours and stuff, and the make-up workshop, and possibly work at CASA, and definitely work at HLC. woo!
somewhere in there: write a paper on T.S. Phucking Eliot.
way too much running around to do--all week long, and this weekend, and next week too. argh.
