Holy MOTHER.

As a history/mechanical engineering major in the Honors program, I have got the most unimaginable class load.  And possibly unmanageable.  I've got to talk to both of my advisers, and maybe the Honors head, because I need to see how many of my classes cross over.  It looks like I'll have at least 20 credits per quarter for the forseeable future - and that's even though I'm taking classes during the summer, although I'll probably only be taking 8-10 credits then.  I am going to double major - or at least get an engineering major and a minor in history - but I am not going to make my parents pay for an extra year at school, especially since goodness knows at that point they'll need the money for the rest of us.
I got a dress yesterday for the Engineering Banquet.  I've never gone dress-shopping before, and I think I could learn to hate it, but somehow I found the perfect dress so fast that I didn't have time to hate it.  It's lovely - right up my alley, too - red, halter, long and flowy but not poufy, thank goodness.  Incidentally, I don't have a date for this banquet - I'm going because I need colloquium credit for my Intro to CAD class.
The other day, I drew a face on my paper before I turned it in for class.  I don't know why - I usually doodle in class, but typically I perform such endeavors in my notebook where no one will ever see them again.  But my notebook was tucked away in my backpack and I didn't want to make the noise that retrieving it would require, so I just started drawing on my paper.  I didn't really realize what I was doing until the end of class came and he asked us to turn in our papers.  Well, yesterday I got it back and he had drawn ears and a moustache on it.  I guess this is his way of accepting the apology that I gave for the face in the first place. :-)
