My Week From Hell

Maybe you've noticed that the last two things I posted where Thursday 13s. Maybe you also noticed that I haven't posted anything in between those posts. And no, it's not because I've been lazy I promise! It's because I've had the week from hell.

It all started when my professor assigned a super big project. Well maybe it didn't start then because that was 3 weeks ago, but this week was crunch time. The project consisted of a front cover of a cd album, a (atleast) 6 page booklet to go in the cd case, the design on the cd, the back of the cd case, a design for the back of the case that the cd goes into, and a advertisement poster for the cd. We usually get 3 weeks for just a poster. Then my professor said we should really do something "hands on" instead of just using pictures (that means do it or the highest grade you can possibly get is a B).  Since most cd covers have pictures of the artist on them I decided to have her guitar on the front, and since my prof wanted something "hands on" I painted the guitar. It took me about 2 days to paint the guitar, but it took me almost 2 weeks to finish editing it on photoshop. So that brings us to 9 days before the due date and I just have a painted guitar. Lets just say I didn't get to do much last week except look at my computer screen.

Then we had a very windy day, our window was shaking so much that it cracked. Not just a tiny crack but the WHOLE window. We called maintenance and some one came to fix it....with duct tape. And the guy said he broke his ribs a few months ago so he couldn't get up on the counter to tape up our window. Victoria had to get up there and tape the window...atleast it was the window in our front room, not the bed room. Then the guy told us someone would come tomorrow to actually fix the window.

Yep, that's my window, all fixed. 

So finally it was glorious Thursday morning and all I had to do is print out my project, put it together, and I would be done. But no, she decided I should change a bunch of things first. So I did that..and it took me over an hour. Then I go to print and the printer isn't working. So while I try to help my classmate fix the printer my professor just leaves. Finally we get the printer to work and it cuts the head off on my poster. But I didn't have time to fix it because I had another class to go to. It didn't get much better after that. I was there until almost 4 working on my project. And its still not done, but my class gets to turn it in on Tuesday now.

But my day wasn't over yet. I get back to the room and my roommates told me that maintenance did come this morning, but our window still wasn't fixed. They pounded on the door for about five minutes to wake them up (it was 8:30 in the morning and I was in class). When someone finally woke up they asked about our broken bed. They didn't believe Kam when she told them we had the broken window. She had to show him for them to finally believe her. But they didn't fix the window. I guess a company has to come out and fix it, and they had other stuff to do yesterday.

With all the stress I had to deal with over the last week I decided I'm going to have a nonproductive day today. I'm not going to do anything productive at all today. No homework, no assembling my project, and definitely no studying for my midterms. I plan on watching some Dexter, doing my hair, and hopefully going shopping with my sister later.
