Dicks and My Existence

I don't think that my blog design will ever be as personalized and classy as Camille's but I'm going to try to learn!

Dicks:
The professor that gave me my first grade of 55 in college, and probably ever (it was on a test) and then I worked hard on my research paper (8 pages) and he gave me a C-. It especially sucks because I enjoy the actual class part. I go to class, participate alot and enjoy the discussions. I don't hate him because he gives me bad grades, but because he is not open to helping his students when they ask for it. He's not happy unless his tests are impossible to pass so there it is.
 He is also really super stupid because he doesn't listen to what you are saying. He asked us "do you think that one method of execution is more cruel than an other" and he was trying to see if we knew about the 8th amendment's protection against cruel and unusual punishment. I answered by explaining my opinion based on what I read in the literature assigned and although I don't remember what I said, I know that I did effectively explain what I was trying to. However, no matter how applicable and correct your answer is, he always asks the same question, that I answered like a thousand time as if there was something I was missing in my answer. I WAS MISSING NOTHING IN MY ANSWER
It is so annoying, even when I know that I am doing a good job and learning, I'm not going to get credit for it, EVEN IF IT IS IN THE BOOK, I never do. He's just awful.
The only thing getting me through this is the knowledge that I can succeed in all of my other classes and that I know that I am learning from the class. I guess that is what is important anyways.

My Existence:
I feel like I live kind of a lame life right now. I have alot, I'm confident, enjoying my education, I am not sad, I am happy. However, I am realizing that there is so much more that I've wanted to do for so long and I haven't done ANY of it or even made any sort of advances towards those goals that would really fufill me. I think that if I apply myself to these other extracurriculars then I can be supremely happy and have no reason to feel insecure. Anyways, some of the stuff that I want to do in general:

1. Piercings:
   a. Nose (2 on right, one on left)
   b. Belly button (3 in upside down triangle)
   c. Ears (all around my outer ears)
   d. tongue

2. Crafts projects:
   a. learn how to use friendly plastics like Linda Peterson/ make charms and beauitful jewelry with them
   b. collage wallets
   c. knitting: learn how to do different stitches, leg warmers, argyle socks, beanies, slouchy hats
   d. learn more about making nice jewelry
   e. sell crafts on ebay
   f. a whoooooole bunch of other stuff that is in a box of "to do"

3. Other
   a. I kind of want to get some new clothes
   b. write letters: grandma, monika, kelly, caroline
   c. Take pictures/ edit them
   d. edit videos

So thats all that comes to mind right now and there are a ton of other things like books that I want to read. But basically what it comes down to is that I have so many options of what I can do to enjoy the things that I want to do, and I have time but I just never do anything! I always take naps because I get tired so easily and I am terrified of being tired (mainly when I have to study or actually pay attention). I need to keep track of my habits and not sleep so much. I think i'm really just afraid to face the stuff that I have to do. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and do it even when i'm tried, face my fears maybe.
