Tired and bitchy. Midterm tomorrow, midterm Thursday. Unprepared. Unlikely to be totally prepared. Will try to be prepared. The speech went pretty well yesterday. It was an unreasonably and ridiculously beautiful fall day, also Columbus Day, which means my family went hiking at Talcott Mountain and I had CLASS here. Well, so did my brother, and he actually was looking for me after his class but I had skipped to work on my speech....yeah. So anyway, I called home after classes to say hi, and express my resentment at their having the day off. Mom called back a little later, and we talked for awhile - I told my dad how much I appreciated the books, and Mom told me how my little sister had covered her face and neck in red lipstick on a dare from her best friend. I thought it was hysterical....Mom didn't.

Stuff to do, unfortunately....tomorrow's my birthday.
