Sydney

So today was an alright day, nothing special. I went to bed around 11:45 last night, which is pretty early for me, because I had a bad headache. I was worried it would turn into a migraine since it was hurting so bad and I had already started getting nauseous. I had trouble falling asleep because of the pain, but once the Tylenol kicked in I slept very soundly. I got up at 8 to shower before class at 9. My plan for class today was to process the film I had shot over the weekend so I could get started on my final. When I got to class I was completely exhausted, I do not function well if I get up before 9, so I went and got a coffee. The coffee woke me up and I was able to start working. Instead of processing my one roll of film that was finished, I went out and shot the remainder of film that was in my camera. The smallest tanks we have are 2 roll tanks for processing and I don't like to process one roll if I can help it. Once I finished shooting I came in and started processing. As I put the developer into the tank two of my classmates realized that they got their tanks mixed up and accidently opened one way too early. I got a little nervous because there was a slight chance that the tank was mine and  that was why the film inside had no pictures on it. As I continued developing I also ran into the problem that the water was too cold. I went and got Jacopo after trying for about half an hour to get it above 15 degrees celsius, as soon as he touched the water control it went to the right temperature. After I was done I was relieved to find my film was in fact my film and had pictures on it. After class I went home to grab my laptop and books for my other classes and went straight to Italian. Italian went pretty well and was a lot of fun because there were only 6 or 7 of us there today. Next I had graphic design. I was kind of disappointed when I walked in and found that we had a guest speaker. The speaker only took about an hour so I had the rest of class to show my teacher my finished project. As I was waiting for my teacher to come to my laptop to see my project, the speaker's friend who is a graphic designer I think came over to me. She asked if I was a graphic design major. I told her I was and she said it was perfect for me because of how attentive I was. I was thrilled. After this compliment my teacher came to look at my project and loved it. I left class very happy with everything. I walked home as quickly as I could because it was drizzling and I didn't want my leather bag to get ruined or to get caught in a downpour. As I got settled in the apartment my stomach started growling so I made some salmon and reheated my pasta from yesterday. I am now relaxing on the couch talking to Mom and some friends online. I am somewhat upset because while I was eating dinner Mom told me that Chris called her yesterday. He said he can't take care of Sydney anymore and wanted to know what to do with her. I am upset because Sydney is such a sweet cat and it breaks my heart to think of putting her down or sending her to the SPCA. In addition to being upset about my cat, I was kind of annoyed that he did not talk to me about it. He and I have been online at the same time a lot recently. Even though we have not talked in the past few months because of personal issues, this is not about us. So I am now trying to think of a good home for Sydney that would be willing to put up with her bladder problem rather than killing her. I feel like if he took her to the SPCA she would just be put down because of her bladder problem or not being adopted. She is such a sweetheart and deserves a good home and family that can care for her. Poor Sydney.
