boy am I tired

I just flew home from Indy, and finished my term paper for entomology...it's 4am and boy are my arms tired. They match the rest of me.

It was a good con. Busy, but good. I have a couple of new trophies for my collection. I won 1st place single figure for both Gencon and Privateer's contests, as well as Darksword Best in Show.

A great big thanks for everyone who took my classes, I had a really great time teaching you and making a mess with my paints.

To Gencon

I'm off to Gencon early tomorrow. My three entries for the various contests are finished. My entomology problem set and a draft of my term paper were submitted on time yesterday. 90 of 100 insects have been identified as part of my final project. Tonight I must finish a thermodynamics problem set and pack. While at Gencon I must finish another thermo problem set, my term paper and study for the three final exams which are shortly after I return home. Needless to say, my head is a bit a-swirl. I'm not entirely sure where I am, but I know where I'm headed--Gencon!! Whee!

For those of you who are taking my classes, I recommend bringing examples of your work so that I can tailor my class to be of most use to you. Also if you bring a list of aspects of painting that seem too hard, and I will do my best to make them easier.

Woo!

My first thermodynamics test was half a month ago. Half a month ago I panicked and forgot how to apply a simple equation, and how to use my calculator...and how to spell basic three letter words.

I've spent this chunk of time worrying about passing the darn class after bombing a test like that. For those of you who haven't witnessed this, I really excell at worrying about test scores.

The exams were returned today. My score was 40 points higher than I expected. I'm not entirely sure how that's even possible--but if, for some reason, I chose to skip the final exam, I would still pass the class. Right now I'm feeling a mixture of vast relief, joy, and the desire to kick the prof in the shins for taking so long.
