I got accepted! wOOT! I have a job! Which pays REAL money! Like, 30,000 dollars a year! Score me! And, of course, I'll be making a difference and all that ( Read more... )

So, I'm uber excited. And I shall tell you why I'm uber excited. After all, it would be rather silly of me to log on, after all this time, to tell you only that I'm uber excited and leave it at that. You would all then shake your heads at me (or, well, your computer screne which is currently filled with the words of me) and say, "Oh Amanda, you ( Read more... )

I wish my homework would go away. Can't it tell that it isn't wanted? I have five papers to do in the upcoming weeks, and I haven't started a single one of them. I tried, this weekend, to get started on one, but my efforts came to naught. I was not in the mood to lock myself away and do work. I was in the mood to hang out with friends, watch "Down ( Read more... )

First of all, I must admit that I’m thoroughly sloshed. It is Friday night, and I don’t only feel alright, I feel frickin’ great, mostly because I’m drunk and I was able to get all my work done for the week! Hooray! Shalom! It is rather hard to focus on the screen right now, but I’ll at least let you know about current happenings ( Read more... )

Ok, I know, I'm a terrible person for not updating, blah blah blah. And technically, this isn't an update either because I have to go study for a Educational Psychology test, but I just wanted to say that the History Club just had a Risk game-a-thon, Professors vrs students, and I WON! I kicked ass! There was so much genocide that they were like " ( Read more... )

First of all, I had not an inkling (that word always makes me think of a baby octopus, a cute one who makes inky dribbles on the carpet, so that you are saying awwwww, but are really rather vexed at the new stains. A pet baby octopus would be cool. I kinda want one now. But what would I do with it? It would grow up to be a less cute inkmonster, ( Read more... )

Well, I have discovered taking six classes was probably not one of my brighter ideas. Nope. Especially now that I'm Governor John Winthrop. Yes, I have been elected as the Puritan governor of 17th century Boston, and that role means I will officiate all the classes in our fun classroom games, and it also means that it is up to me to keep the colony ( Read more... )

Ok, pretend I'm writing this on Wendsday becuase I really meant to write it on Wendsday. I totally did ( Read more... )

You must be asking yourselves, what, I wonder most forlornly, is Amanda up to right now? Well, shudder in the dark no more, for I be here to enlighten your eyeballs, but hopefully not so much that they boil out of your sockets and run down your face in a most unappealing manner. Ewwwwww. Mental picture. I'll try not to enlighten you that much. ( Read more... )

So, I'm once again posting from my workplace. once agian wasteing your tax dollars to amuse myself on the internet. I'm not even "on break" now. I'm sitting in the summer reading room, supposedly on duty, but with two other people here and sadly no patrons to fawn over, the internet becomes my job. Wait, some books are being handed to me. I'll ( Read more... )
