1st test

Today I'm having my first test in Anthropology. If the test was all multiple choice and true/false, I wouldn't be worried. But we're having some short answer and short essay questions also, so that makes me a little scared. I was trying to study earlier, and I was writing stuff down but it just didn't seem like any of it was sinking in. I have been to every class, so I know everything that was discussed, and it's there in my brain somewhere, and hopefully I'll be able to fish it out and do decently on the test. Since it's like 25% of my grade, I hope I do well on it...unfortunately it's the first test, so I'm not sure what this person's tests are like yet, and what he's expecting us to do, but hopefully this will give me a good idea of what to expect for the next ones, and I can better prepare for those. I'm just going to read thru my notes a couple hundred times and hope that I can retain some of the information. ;p

This Friday, the campus is putting on a free showing of "A Night at the Museum" and I'd like to go see it, but I think Jake's blowing me off to go hang out with his friends and do the D&D thing, which is fine. I invited Mary also (Jake's sister) but she didn't really say anything about it when I saw her yesterday, so I'm not sure if she wants to go or not. So, I may miss out on it, which is fine...I can always just rent it when it comes out on Tuesday...or just buy it. :)

But, back to the "ditching." Jake's been working the night shift at Community Market every Thurs-Sat. night, and it makes making plans for the weekend somewhat difficult because he doesn't wake up before 2 PM, and he has to be back into work at 10 PM. So, if we want to do something, we've gotta start pretty much as soon as he gets up...but then we have to wait until he gets ready and all that (and he takes longer sometimes to get ready that I do!). But, it just feels like we're not spending a lot of time together anymore. Well, I guess that's not true...but if I want to spend time with him, I have to go over to his house, because, if left up to him, I wouldn't see him until about 7 or 8 PM...and that doesn't leave a very big window of opportunity for making plans.

So, up until last week, it seemed like I was spending most of my time over there (well, the time that I wasn't on campus). And it felt like I was the only one that wanted to spend time together. I know it's not like that, but it just didn't feel like he was trying very hard to come see me or whatever. And it's not that I don't like his family, because that's not true...I love his family...but I also like to be at my house, and be able to do things there so that my family doesn't feel like I'm ditching them all of the time. And with what's been going on with my Dad, "family time" has become a little more important than it had been. I know I'm probably just being a dumb girl and that there probably isn't really an issue...but I guess I just can't help but feel like this. I really need to talk to him about it...but when am I going to find the time?
