not a good analogy...

so today my english professor goes off on his soap box about the topic of falling in love and the battle of the sexes (instead of passing out our midterm which he ended up only giving us like forty minutes to do when its an eighty-five minute class) and used a very inappropriate analogy.
just before class he asked about the t-shirt i'm wearing today which says 351st MP CO SNAKE PIT. i tell him that its the unit my husband is deployed with right now. he asks "army?" and i say yes. he asks "where is he?" and i say iraq. not a big deal, i answer those kinds of questions all the time. but when he goes off on his tangent about love he asks the question "where did the phrase 'falling in love' come from and what does it refer to?" we all give answers like "its out of our control" and "its a rush of emotions" and other such possibilities and he says "no, its more like your husband" and points at me. i sit quiet waiting for further clarification and he continues with "what does your husband do?" i tell him that he works border patrol and that he is an MP. he then proceeds to put me on the spot with "well what would happen if your husband got shot?" this angers me and i do not answer. i'm sure my face said all i needed to say but he didn't seem to care or even notice. he nonchalantly remarks "he would fall right? just like you fall in love..." pretty much the whole class turns to look at me to see my reaction. i keep my mouth shut because i had nothing nice to say and we still had a midterm to take. needless to say i am still very upset. i always joke about the stupid questions i've been asked about my husband being in the military but what my professor did today was disrespectful and rude. he violated a line. yet somehow i am really not surprised that he put me on the spot in that manner. he is a jerk. no one in the class likes him or the way he attacks us. today was just my day i guess. i am proud of myself for not striking back. he was not nor is not worth it. all i have to do is pass this class with a C and i will never have to deal with the arrogant man again.
not to mention that he completely destroyed how i feel about falling in love. it is a joyous, romantic, crazy rush of emotions that leave you feeling like a giddy child. i do not normally think of a soldier being shot in war, when i think of falling in love with my own soldier. those situations just do not go hand in hand for me. nor do i think they relate for the majority of people on this planet. i cannot wait to tell jesse about today. i'm sure his opinion will be quite interesting.
i am ready for this semester to be over NOW!

half way...

so this week is half way over. didn't make it home in time tonight to do the online quiz. i did take my anatomy exam today but apparently the english paper is due friday. tomorrow i plan to do an online quiz, write the intro for my lab report, finish my essay and start on my sunday school lesson. i also rechecked the registration schedule and i'm supposed to register at 1pm which should be square in the middle of our lunch rush at work so i don't really know how that will play out. should be interesting. i may not make it to small group with all of that to do...actually i may just need to plan to stay home. thats kind of sad but if i don't stay home i will never finish it all. i hope God understands. well its time for me to call it a night. much love to all.

progress.

so i completed tonight's online quiz [eighteen more to go before april 30th and i can only do one a day]. i spent a couple of hours studying anatomy but its not nearly enough. still need to write my paper or at least start on it. hubby should start emailing soon which will make me very happy. i'm sitting at my dining room table [instead of cuddled up on the couch as usual] in an attempt to stay awake. trying to decide if pulling an all-nighter is worth it. hmmm...we will see how long i last. so far i've only had the television on while i was eating dinner. as soon as i was done it went right back off and i came back to the table. but i did realize that i am supposed to register for classes thursday morning at 9am and i have to be at work at 10am. that should be interesting. i know that school has flooded my blog here lately but thats my life right now. soon i hope to find some free time to ponder more enjoyable matters...

after work...

so today i work 10am to 4pm (yes i need to be getting in the shower soon) but i was looking at my homework rundown and realized that tonight i have to do another online quiz, write an english paper, and do some serious study of anatomy. its going to be a super long night. i'm going to need some serious caffeine to make it through all that (i'm not your typical teenager and actually have problems staying up late doing homework because reading puts me to sleep). wish me luck.

i should trust myself by now.
