Really? MasterCard® Card?

Everybody's Workin' for the Weak End
What is it with me, anyway? I get so caught up in my assignments for school. I get behind on schedule... I freak out about the assignments... I delete entire pages, re-write them, and turn them in late because I just can't focus... but then when I get them back, I get comments like this:

School Stuff
Even though I still struggle with writing for school, I know I've come a long way over the last few semesters. Yesterday, I got the most wonderful feedback on my expository writing assignment, and it completely made my day. I'm really proud of myself ( Read more... ) -

Wow, What a Night. President Elect Obama.

All of the Harvard Democratic clubs were having a combined party at Tommy Doyle's, and 99catsaway were hoping to meet there. She had arrived hours earlier, and had staked out some territory near the bar. ( Read more... ) -
Most Americans and Where They Live
Woo hoo! I'm up early and ready for Election Day. Of course, I have a whole day of work, then 4 hours of class before I can start paying attention to politics... plus, I hardly slept last night, so I'm lucky if I'll be awake in either of my classes, let alone the results watching party that Rose and I are going to...
Anyway, I recently read a ( Read more... )
