Hmmm...I have to write a two-page paper analyzing the music in Spider-Man 3 and write a 5-page paper about how the welfare of different countries is affected by their education, natural resources, and conflict history. By tomorrow. I haven't started. I am, as usual, procrastinating. And it bothers me to no end that everyone I know is going to ( Read more... )

I don't understand. How am I supposed to link the Democratic Republic of Congo to "The Changing Geography of United States Manufacturing?"

AND New York and Company called and set up a job interview for tomorrow!!! Yaaay!!!!

Today has been a GREAT day.  Actually, the greatness begins Tuesday, when I found out that my film teacher graduated from Brown, which means that if she writes me a recommendation, it will definitely improve my chances of getting in, slim though they are.  But to follow up on that, I had a great discussion with her about her favorite director, who ( Read more... )

I hate it when you're reading an article in which the author has clearly gone to great lengths to ensure that his or her readers know that he or she is smarter than them.  The one I'm reading now keeps using phrases like "inhibited motoricity" (describing a guy in a wheelchair), "visual hyperperception", "quintessential exemplum," and " ( Read more... )

Man, what a crappy day.  I got a 70 on a math quiz, my group in Culture and Capitalism sucks, because when we have to discuss the passage we just read, I'm pretty much the only one saying anything, and they sit there and mumble one or two sentences as a response to my initiating the conversation.  French class is boring as hell, and we repeat the ( Read more... )

My first class is at 10:20, and it's Calculus!!!  I woke up at like 8 and had breakfast with my roommate, so I've had like two hours to get freaked out about it.  Ugh.  Everyone else in that class is going to be able to do it, and I'll be like, "huh?"

Gross.  What a bad start to classes.
