More School-related Mess
Yesterday I found out that my school supports plagarism because according to the school newspaper, a "book review" consists of going to Amazon.com, lifting a review from there, and then publishing it into the paper as their own. Luckily, I am in charge of that section, so I'm going to make sure that sort of thing never happens again ( Read more... ) -
On the Subject of AP Courses
So I find out in a non-subtle way in AP English Lit that more than half of my class is failing. My teacher said that the school introduced a new policy that required them to list all of their failing students every two weeks. The list would be sent to the Main Office, and the failing students would be scheduled for appointments in "Academic ( Read more... ) -

The Obligatory OMG College! Post
Today I spent the day online looking for scholarship information(particularly the ones aimed at minorities), and "omgcollegeanxiety" reared its ugly head. Again. I know I have a good GPA, last time I checked my class ranking was 10 out of 450, I've done volunteer work, SGA, and worked on my school's literay magazine (two years now), and the ( Read more... ) -
Finished! And Randomness!
Two days ago I finally finished my AP English Lit summer assignment. One of the tasks was to write an essay, and since I wrote it around 2:30 in the morning, let's just say that the majority of it is mildly incoherent (IMHO)...
And on another note, I can't help but agree with this:

Drabbles and the Like
Even though I really, REALLY shouldn't be thinking about my finished novel at the moment *still anticipating chance to edit*, I've come to question my own sanity due to a drabble I finished a few minutes ago ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Yesterday my AP US History Exam results came in. I thought the test was unusally easy, and as a result I got a "3". Whenever I think a test is too easy, I end up getting a much, MUCH lower score than I thought I would get. I'm not upset though. At least I didn't get a "2"... -
Done...I think....
A few days ago, I finally finished my novel. After spending so much time on it, I was expecting to feel elated, but it just felt like another day. Hmm. I'm not upset about it, though. I've just been working so close to it that all I can see are the flaws. And when I see flaws, my brain goes into a "creative overdrive". I keep thinking of new ( Read more... ) -
On Noveling....
Five months ago, I promised to finish my WIP in six months. I have one month left to write and I'm nearing the end of the middle, but I've found that I have to FORCE myself to WRITE. I don't know what's with me. I'm off from school, I have no obligations, I have all this time to myself and yet I've barely written all week. I'm awful. I'm awful ( Read more... ) -
Procrastinaction makes it happen
I really should be working on my WIP, right now, or my English homework. Instead today I fooled around in Photoshop and came close to finishing a character sheet for my WIP.
....I never finish anything I start...
