Can I get a redo for this day? I swear this day has been the biggest waste ever.

I got to school and the teacher reviewed for our final tomorrow for about a half hour and then let us go. We couldn't have done that Tuesday and then had the final today? Then I wouldn't have to go take it tomorrow. Oh, well. So, I had time to finish getting stuff ready to turn in for the art show that was due today. I would've done it sooner, but the show is so unorganized this year that every teacher tells you something different about how stuff is supposed to be presented. First I was told that the black paper mats they were in from class were fine. Then I was told I needed to mount them on foamcore. Well, it turned out that things were supposed to be in frames with wire hangers. Not sawtooth, not preformed hanging holes that are part of the frame--wire.

While I was home working on framing, I stepped on a wasp. It got me on the toe next to my big toe. The last time a wasp stung me, I had a really bad allergic reaction. Maybe she didn't get me good enough or my socks helped keep the sting from being worse, but I didn't have an allergic attack. It did hurt like hell, though. I swear it felt like someone had jabbed a really hot needle into my foot. Then my toe swelled up really huge. Later I started a fever and felt totally sick. I thought I was going to faint at work.

After I made dough, I was supposed to drive tonight. The stupid manager told me not to clock in--they weren't busy enough for me to drive. ARGH!!!! I only had two shifts this week anyway, and then this. This is getting so old. How about doing something to increase sales?

Current mood: relieved
Ok, now that I've dealt with being bummed about the trip and I've got my notebook for class done that I had 4.5 weeks to work on and it was due today by noon and I didn't start on it until 6:30 last night and finished it at 11:30 this morning and I've only had about 3 hours of sleep because I'm a dumbass procrastinator and I can't take a nap because I still have to go to work, I'm feeling pretty good. *whew*

I also got everything that I entered at school (six pieces total, I think) into the art show that will be on Friday. Yay!!!! I just need to figure out where to get some cash to get frames for them. Oh, boy. That's kind of exciting, though. Last year I didn't have anything that was acceptable to the panel judges. If I have time, I'll scan them and post them in my gallery when I get home from work this evening. Just think of the possibilities for next year's show (if they do it in September like they were supposed to this year). Especially once I get my new printer up and running.

Current mood: disappointed
Well, I went to Las Vegas. Other than the 10 actual minutes of the wedding ceremony, the weekend was pretty much a waste of time and money. I didn't have money to gamble, I didn't get to go to the Star Trek thing I wanted to see, I didn't get to ride in the cool Luxor elevators, I didn't even get to swim in the hotel pool. I did spend more than 28 hours riding in a car through wastelands such as Utah. *sigh* I guess I should've stayed home and just sent a card.

Hey, everyone! I'm making this entry from the Apple store in Las Vegas. The wedding is in a couple of hours, so we're killing time right now. We have to pay for outgoing calls at the hotel, so I can't post from there. Talk to everyone later!!

Well, I'm off to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning to attend a friend's wedding. I don't know if I'll have access to an internet connection, so I probably won't be checking in until late Sunday. Everybody have a great weekend!
