Rant is a strange word.

I hate to start on a sour note, but here I go anyway.

I am so ticked at my roommate, Rebecca. Stephanie (my other roommate) and I have become pretty good friends, but Rebecca just ticks both of us off. This morning I was sleeping nicely until Rebecca's alarm went of around 7:50. I thought, "Good, I still have an hour to sleep." That did not happen. Rebecca was very inconsiderate... slamming doors, dropping books on the floor, and making various other rather loud noises. I ended up turning off my alarm before it went off because I knew there wasn't going to be anymore sleeping that morning. So I was laying there, more than a little ticked, and it didn't help that she had just ticked me off 8 hours earlier when I was trying to go to sleep. As I was laying there, a seething pot of rage, I resolved not to get up until she left lest I, in my anger, resort to violence. I mean, who wants to go to jail for the rest of their life charged with 1st-degree murder? Actually, I'm fairly sure I would not have resorted to violence but I did not want to face the issue while I was so angry and risk saying something I might later regret. BUT then she blow-dried her hair in the room while I was in my bed trying to sleep!!! Ooh boy, was I enraged. She left and I stalked down from my loft, wide awake and irate. Not a minute later I heard someone unlocking the door. I thought, "Oh, that better not be Rebecca." Luckily, it was Stephanie. So, we've concluded that we'll have to talk to Rebecca about this issue.

Now for the good part of my day. We got our German tests back today. I got a 97% A+. Then in my Great Books discussion, the GSI moved the due-date for the Iliad paper back a week. So that made me happy.

I was so happy today because there were many new entries in people's blogs. It made my afternoon. Also, I think I've been spoiled by this high-speed connection.

I believe I will finish the Odyssey tonight. So far without my last quiz grade, my grade in Calc is around an A-, I think.

Once again there are more examples on my MSN of people's great outlooks on life (and also people's lovely grammar): "Taking a shower, maybe if I'm lucky I will drowned." First of all, it should either be "drown" or "be drowned", and secondly, why are you taking a shower at 8pm anyway?

Skillet's "A Little More" is a great song. I love it.
