Great Wednesday.

Alright. I have been super-busy with homework lately, that's why I haven't been posting as often.

Anyway, I finished my Morality and the Law midterm paper for yesterday's class at 6AM yesterday morning... and before that I hadn't slept much either. Basically, this week had been terrible for my sleeping pattern until last night. Last night, I said, "Screw them homework, I can do it all tomorrow." And I went to bed at 9:30PM. I ended up waking up at 4:44AM and lying in bed until 6:45, when I had to get up for class. It was wonderful. I would do the same tonight, except there is too much going on.

But before I go into my schedule for tonight, I just want to talk a bit about my schedule for this week, and my grade in chemistry.

First, my chem grade:
I have been stressing most about chemistry, because it is my lowest known grade (my damn morality and the law teacher doesn't post the grades online! bitch.)... and my teacher keeps telling everyone that if your grade is in the 50's, you should drop the course. He said if you got a 5o-something on the first test, and a 50-something on the one we just took last week, then you should just drop it. I got a 71 on the first test, while the class average was a 56. I was very nervous about the test we took last week, because most people in my class said they thought it was harder, not easier than the first. I found it to be easier, but I was still worried. Well, the results are in: the class average was a 53! That's LOWER than the first test. I was terrified. Then, I got my test back and found my grade: I GOT A 94!!! I couldn't believe it!

So, anyway, my teacher said at the beginning of the semester that, generally, an 85 average would be equivalent to an A for the course (after curve). My average is currently an 84! And that's not including my masteringchemistry.com scores (which are all above 100%)! I am so glad! This means that I have an A in all of my courses for this semester, as far as I can tell.

So, yeah, that made my day, today.

Now, for the rest of this week:

Tomorrow or friday, I must get down to south street and go to the halloween store to buy a witch's hat for halloween (I have a black dress and black shoes already...soo....yeah.). I wasn't going to bother buying anything for a costume, because I wasn't planing on going to any parties or anything, but then Mike told me I have no choice, I must show up for a party, even if it's just for an hour or two. So now I am doing that on saturday night, and spending the rest of the night with Arkadiy. This should be interesting, considering he doesn't condone drinking or drug use.

Speaking of Arkadiy, things are getting pretty intense between us. His parents (whom I have not met...yet.) think we are dating, are about to date. He wants me to come home with him one weekend, so he can show me where he's from. And now I am taking him with me to see a play.

There's a story behind that one, so here goes:

I love my Acting teacher, as I have said many times before, I am sure. Well, he mentioned a few classes ago that the acting troupe that works at the Globe Theatre in England (yes, THE Globe, where Shakespeare's plays were originally debuted - well, it was rebuilt after a fire, but still.) is in town until saturday night, doing performances of Love's Labours Lost. I really want to see it, so I emailed Nathan to get more information. He sent me an email that said, verbatim:

"Great Emma!

Your interest inspired me to make the event worth extra credit. It's playing now until Saturday night. My wife and I are going to the show on Saturday afternoon at 2pm. I hope you (and others from our class) will be able to join us. I think it sounds like fun to discuss the show at intermission and afterward in the lobby.

Hope you decide to come,

Nathan G."

I got so excited!! He made the play extra credit! and not just any extra credit, but 2 points on the Final Grade for the class! That could mean an A+ in stead of an A! Oh I am definitely going to see this play! So, I invited Liz, but she is going home this weekend and won't be around when I want to go (Friday @ 8PM). Then I invited Arkadiy. He agreed to go. Now he says that his mother will expect us to be dating if he went to a play with me. I thought that was funny, but it made sense. Maybe we shouldn't do all this couple stuff? But he has already told me he loves me. Goddamn this is confusing. I told him I love him too... but it was in the middle of sex, and I didn't know what else to say. How could I not answer that? But the thing is... I am in love with Matt!!
I love Matt, and I am IN LOVE WITH Matt. Those are two different things, you know. And Arkadiy doesn't seem to realize that. I think he is hoping I will forget about Matt.

But I can't. I love Matt. I miss him.

Oh, and a funny story for my closing:
This morning, in my acting class, my partner (for the scene I am doing as my final project) asked me if I am jewish! I thought it was so funny, and I responded that, while many people think I look Jewish, I am actually just italian and irish, so the darkness of an italian's features mixed with the curly hair of an irish girl - et voila, a Jewish-looking chick.
I told Arkadiy and he thought it was funny too. I guess even when he finally picks a non-Jew, she still has to look Jewish :P

Anyway, so, my week is going pretty well, except for the complication of "I Love You" with Arkadiy.

I am off to do homework until the World Series starts tonight, which I am watching with Arkadiy, Julian, and Kyle. Then, at midnight, I will be registering for my spring classes.
