Somewhat productive

I've been somewhat protective today.

I got most of this weeks ART assignment done. I have to wait for the teacher to email me back because I wasn't able to watch a video online like she wanted. It will download but it won't play so I went on youtube and found a couple other videos of the artist. I started working on the assignment that is due in two weeks. We don't have anything due next week because of the holiday.

I found some sources for my SOC paper. I'm writing about the BTK killer. I have the title page and the works cited page done but I can't quite figure out how to actually start the paper. This is usually for her CJ class and I'm in the SOC class. The assignment asks to use the book to decide which crime theory best fits the person. I can't do this because I'm not in the CJ class and she told me I didn't need my book. The class I'm in is Juvenile Delinquency so I have to somehow tie in his crimes with a juvenile history. I think I'll start off by describing who he was and what he did, then go into his childhood and explain how if things had been noticed and had some kind of action taken when he was little, he may have turned out otherwise. That's the best way I can think of doing it. I have to make it at least 4 pages other than the title and works cited page. I think I can bs that much. His bio alone should take up at least a page and a half.

For my ENG class we need to have read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle by the week after Thanksgiving. I've already read them both. The teacher gave me a list of things we will be reading when we get back so I can go on and read those when I get bored. Luckily I've already read one of the Poe works. I've probably read most of the other as well.

For my BUS class I really don't have much to do. I can go ahead and read through the chapter and start on the homework but we do it as a class. I've started doing the definitions for the homework. Maybe I'll go and finish those.

I'll continue with my thankfulness thing.

11.14 I am thankful that my husband's job is paying enough to cover the bills we have.
11.15 I am thankful I have the ability to own and drive two cars so I can get to where I need to be.

I'm feeling pretty good right now. The hubby is on his way to Atlanta. This hopefully means he'll be home relatively early or at a decent time tomorrow. I miss him so much.

My ex boss should be coming home some time Sunday night. I tried sweeping out her garage for her but the wind keeps putting new leaves in it. I'm thinking about sweeping her driveway too. I brought her some energy light bulbs since she had quite a few of them out when I was helping her pack last week. I'm trying to think of anything else I can do for her. I feel for her. Her mother passed away on Sunday. I'm trying to do all I can to make it easier when she gets home. She said she was doing ok, but I can't imagine the hurt of losing a parent. No matter how much I say my life would be better without my dad pushing and pulling and making me feel guilty all the time, I don't know how I'd handle him passing. (Though I've thought he was close a couple times.)

Anyways. . . I went from happy to kind of sad. Time to find something else to do. Maybe I'll do some glitter crafts or something. Nothing makes a person smile more than trying to remove a ton of glitter from your hands and hair. :-P
