So tired...

Having a history midterm the day after elections day is evil. Hard to study when you want to watch the results ( Read more... )

I ended up revising that picture book story and giving it to the teacher last Friday and I got it back today. She said she was really impressed with how I applied the criticism to improving the story and that moments like these are 'the reason she teaches', that it pleased her on a personal level. This version got 85%, but judging by the comments ( Read more... )

Dr Brain?

Does anyone remember those Dr Brain games? You know, those edutainment games made by Sierra in the 90s? I have this sudden wish to find one of them again: the Lost Mind of Doctor Brain. That game was... great. I bed it wouldn't even play on a Vista computer, though. Probably would need... windows 95 or something like that. Oh well ( Read more... )

Heh

Gah, I've been feeling worse and worse these past few days, but now I'm really, officially sick. I woke up this morning with a temperature, a sore throat, a crappy stomach, and a fuzzy fuzzy brain. That'd probably explain why I've been so emotional the past few days. I've been crying over... everything. I always get like that when I'm sick ( Read more... )

Whee!

I got comments back on one of my assignments from one of my writing classes. (Not an actual story, mostly just an outline for one.) I was realllly worried about it. Worried that she'd ever so politely point out that I kinda suck and don't know what I'm doing.

But she said that my writing style is lovely. =3 *is happy*

Do I need to teach myself something so basic?

Maybe I need to start forcing myself to pay attention to details about how people look or dress. Because it seems like I nearly always have difficulty describing my characters physically, often having to cheat and randomly look up pictures of people on the internet or to check and see how other writers describe their characters. Because I don't ( Read more... )

So far so good.

So far, I'm doing okay at getting all of my reading done when I'm supposed to and getting my assignments worked on, though most things aren't due for a while. Though I feel a little lost to some extent. I'm wondering how well I'm going to do on tests. (Really kinda worried about history. Concepts I've always been really good at remembering, but ( Read more... )
