Art Colony: Surrender Now! plus: an ode to friendship

I hate friday mornings. They make me want to Surrender, Now, hence the title.
At this point, in my soon-to-be-overhauled Fall 04 semester schedule, Friday mornings are like the "insane death-march can you stand it" days of the week. Thursday nights I have to stay out late for my Theater Appreciation class (which has rapidly drained away any remaining love I had for that particular performing art, thanks to really overwhelming homework assignments and unnecessary over-analysis of plays like "YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU," which i rather detest in the first place) so by the time I get home and to bed, like last night, it's 1:30 AM in the morning. Then I have to wake up at 6 AM--or my alarm clock malfunctions, like it did today, and I get up at 7 AM and my poor non-morning-person boyfriend has to drive me to school in the bitter cold Wisconsin mornings so I can be at work by 7:45 AM and I can't mess up any more at work, EVER.
So, reasons why this morning has been insanely difficult so far:
1.) Alarm clock malfunctioning, going off an hour late, leading to getting ready in 15 minutes
2.) Being out of clean socks: having to find a pair of slightly-unobjectionable-pre-used socks to wear
3.) Cold waffle (note singular) for breakfast
4.) Feel *so* sick, had to hobble about 2 blocks just to walk to the car
5.) Don't have any cigarettes, at ALL, for the whole day. Hate being practically broke.-
6.) Have that song "Baby all I need is Time" by Brittney Spears stuck in my head. Makes me want to jump off cliff like a lemming. Must get another song stuck in head.
Reasons why there's things to look forward to:
1.) Boyfriend fixed his broken Apple Powerbook!!! Finally! This has been a major crisis and I'm very happy for him! Plus--sweet guy that he is--he is going to let me use it for my big Theater Appreciation website project. At this point I don't appreciate theater, just him.
2.) My co-worker Casey brought in a bag of Christmas Candy--Butterfinger chocolate bells. Mmmm, supplementary breakfast.
3.) I might get to see my Incredibly cool Advisor today. that would be great!
4.) My friend Isabelle and I totally are gonna get together for a good session of Commiserbitching today, for which I am excited.
5.) I'm so pumped about this Happyrobot blog that I can't stop posting on it, which I hope doesn't annoy people too much. I mean, think of me as some happy new Disney pet squirrel or something that's so excited and happy to come inside to the big house that they can't stop jumping on the table and chittering.
6.) Reading Modern Drunkard's blog reminded me so much of going to Italy. I love travelling so much, the best is that random feeling that you get sometimes like you can do anything/go anywhere, so liberating.
Ode To Friendship
I promised my friend Robin that I'd send her a big shout out because she deserves one. She is the most inspiring person I know. She has faced so many difficulties and come out a stronger, more determined and more focused person every time. Plus, with whom else could I watch "HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN"? Robin, thanks for being you. Three cheers for you! You rule!
