Status Report, Rambling...Venting

raloriaAnother random ramble. Warning: This was done with a fuzzy, sleepy brain (always dangerous...*sigh* When will I learn?).
* The quiz I took yesterday in my Philosophy class was tough! Much more difficult than I anticipated. I really didn't get to study for it because I spent all my time preparing for the online one I took Sunday night. *Sigh* It's not right to have 2 quizzes so close to each other like that when I'm terribly behind in the reading. It was an almost impossible task from the get-go. The Philosophy stuff is tough to get anyway...and that's with a book or notes right in front of you. How am I possibly supposed to memorize all these terms and such. Bah. Anyhow, I did a lot of guessing, which even on multiple choice questions isn't a good thing. I feel I was all over the place with my answers, so I probably didn't do very well. Hopefully I'll do better next time. At least now I'm somewhat caught up in both classes.
* Bought some new jeans on Friday and wore a pair to class yesterday. They fit so much better then the old ones I've been wearing (snug instead of baggy - yay!). Gotta admit, they made me feel kinda sexy. *g*
* Some idiot behind me on the freeway last night was flashing his headlights. He was quite a ways back and I was going the speed limit. Don't know what his problem was, but he was certainly annoying the hell out me. His flickering lights were very distracting. :[
* Came home last night from the college, watched Dancing With The Stars (Carrie Ann was certainly on the warpath! And Len was Mr. Easygoing for once.), then decided to finish capping Shadow. So now it's just sort, fix, select, upload, and post. Seeing as how we're already into this week, I'd look for picspams of Shadow and Skin next week. Don't even ask me what episodes are after those, I'm almost afraid to look. They probably haven't been capped completely yet either. Eeeep!
* On another note...I actually got to some replies to your comments. Yay! Some progress! It's small, but at least it's a start.
* Couldn't help but notice how dead the fandom was over the weekend. Things seem to be picking up again now, but it was sure quiet around here. I made several posts and the response was very light. I don't have a problem with this. I understand people lead busy lives...I'm one of them.
I'm trying not to make a big deal over this, but after getting only a couple of comments to my big review of 3.01, I'm a little...upset. The basics are that I spent all week working on that review, struggling with getting the caps to look good enough. And now my brain is trying to reason out what happened. Why the weak response? Is it that people just missed it because I posted it late on Thursday? Is it because a lot of you haven't seen the episode yet and don't want to be spoiled? Did you actually read the review and didn't like the episode or my review? Please, let me know. *Sigh* I really don't want to come off bitchy here, and I can only hope that I haven't pissed anyone off. It's just to put that amount of work in and have it largely ignored really bothers me.
If this continues to be the trend towards my full reviews I guess I'll just stop doing them and stick with the shorter First Impressions posts. I like doing the full versions, but only if there's an audience for them. Otherwise, what's the point of all that work?
Sorry for the ranting... *hugs flist* I'm going to take my sleepy, frustrated self to bed now...
