client meeting
the rain was refreshing, but today was windier than i expected; i was practically blown into a fence. my face was freezing and i wanted nothing more than to lay down under warm blankets and get some sleep. but i had to meet with my client.

i arranged to schedule time with her between my classes, since we were done early and i'd have at least two hours to kill. i spent last night working on some of the comps she wanted, but didn't feel that they were complete enough.

she was a lot friendlier than i expected, and actually a pretty cool person. maybe i should have met with her from the beginning. we cleared up a lot of the misunderstandings we seemed to have had. i made her see and agree to my points, and i understood that she really wanted to keep her site simple. we compromised, and are now clear about the design.

though cold and tired beyond belief, things have been going well and working out so far today.

class happens too early
if there's one thing i learned in high school, it's that i can push together two armless office chairs, lay across the seats, and sleep just fine.

i'm glad this is the last day for a while that i'll have to get up this early. i couldn't sleep again last night. i went to bed at 11:30 with plans of getting at least seven and a half hours of sleep. instead, i watched the numbers on my clock change again. i did get to sleep around 5:30 but by then, it was pretty pointless.

i got back my final from last week, aced it. i had the right idea to double check my answers before turning it in, because i missed a lot of obvious answers from lack of sleep. i should have triple checked it though. the questions i missed were ones i knew the answers to, but i guess being tired makes me dyslexic. i checked false when i meant true and counted numbers off by one. my teacher said she was glad i missed some though, because she gave us all some extra points, and if i had gotten any more answers right, i would have had over 100 percent.

presentations were boring and went by quick enough (yay for a small class). it's funny how people don't really talk to you till the last class, and you converse like you've been friends all along.

no one ever listens to me.
why don't you understand me? why don't you let me do the designing if i'm the designer? it looks good, it looks professional. you want to turn your website into something of an eyesore overflowing with chaos? fiiiiiiiiine.

maybe i'm not cut of for web designing. my second paid website and not much less frustrating than the first.

what more could a girl want?
i did well on my final (at the least a B, but possibly an A!) and when i got back from school, my boyfriend did my audio homework for me, i got laid, and was presented with breakfast in bed - french toast, my favorite - the next morning. life is good.

of a mother and daughter
i wish we would have a real conversation, but it's always the same. always the same questions, the same unnecessary concerns, the same constant berating criticism.

i wish that we could talk like normal people talk. i wish that you could be as proud of me as you are worried and demanding. i wish that i didn't feel so belittled, so insufficient, frustrated and exasperated every time i hear your voice.

i remember when i was younger and i thought you had all the answers in the world. i remember the times where i was sick or when i'd fall and scrape my knees, you were always there to fix me right up; there wasn't anything i didn't think you couldn't do then.

it makes me sad now, to see you the complete opposite. it frustrates me to have to explain something so simple so many times, to argue a pointless arguement because you'll never see my side so why do you keep asking.

the world isn't what it was anymore. things change, people adapt. stop shoving me down your path; let me find my own way. i'm still going to school. i'm still going to graduate. don't tell me how to live my life, or my brother to live mine. i know you only want what's best but you can't judge best from such a narrow view. my eyes have opened and widen more each day, but i still can't make you see.
