Bullshit
(mirrored from Xanaga)
Turns out I’m going to attempt to use trueSpace 5 and the facial animator to turn out a short but semi-decent animation for ALPHA Auto. For In-Depth I plan to continue work on Kaladea.
Today was alright by my standards. Despite the fact that it was really -REALLY- damn windy on the UNI campus (and elsewhere I guess…), early class, feeling like an idiot in CO because of my assignment, not having taken the AAT quiz, my truck not starting, it being gloomy (and the “most depressing” day of the year), and missing the appointment at Tuffy because we didn’t have two drivers available and I had no idea what time to go down there (I need the truck now), I still ate breakfast and didn’t have any major homework undone. Oh, the light they fixed on my truck is not fixed, and dan’s car has bit the bullet for the moment it seems. And, to top it all off, I have 1/8th a tank of gas left in the truck. ::sigh::
If you really care about my troubles (or you wonder where I was yesterday), though why I’m not sure, you can go ahead and keep reading. It isn’t pretty.

Dan woke me up at 7:15am yesterday to tell me our mom was sick -again- and that I needed to get up. This was definitely not a good way to start the morning, week, year, and had this happened today it would have made more sense (today supposedly == most depressing day of the year).
After a long day of waiting around to see what was going on my mom was transfered to Iowa City just as my aunt got here from Iowa City. Somewhat bad timing, but it was still good in the sense we needed to talk to her. My dad is now down with my grandparents again (in IC) and last I heard my mom is in the ICU. To top this off, the last few times my brother CJ has come up from college my mom has been in the hospital, and he comes home Friday/Saturday. What a ball buster… ::sigh::
To top this off, Dan and I have to do the sleep shift schedule to avoid being late and what not, which leaves us quite drained. In fact, the only reason I’m still up and writing this is so the dogs can be outside a bit longer.
