I keep wondering...what would happen if I just blew off an assignment? I've never really done it before, nothing big anyway...this Macbeth essay is really easy but it's just tedious and I don't care about it. Bwah. But I guess I'll finish anyway, even though it'll take me most of the rest of the night because I can't focus and think and I'll end up ( Read more... )

So I just (finally) finished my adv seminar project proposal...yay. Here's what I'm reading (hopefully I'll be able to actually get through them and not have to SparkNotes or anything...bwah.):

I would just like to take this time to thank the Pennsylvania legislators and the Warwick School District for Act 80, which requires teachers to have so much time set aside for meetings or whatever that allows us to have half days ( Read more... )

Fun sleepover w/ Jackie and Sarah. Good times. Painted carpe diem on the basement wall....that and "HotelWwawnda"...wow. So sickly funny. We haven't actually watched Hotel Rwanda yet, but Jackie can't say her Rs quite right, so we just say it randomly really badly all the time :P And for paint, we didn't really use paint...because there was just ( Read more... )

Write a poem and/or find a quote for Hoy's Words of Wisdom book :)

Most amusing/amazing thing today: so this morning on the radio on the way to school (for which we had a fantastic hour delay because of ice) I heard that supposedly, January 24th is the most depresssing day of the year, or supposedly, the Monday closest to it. So I'm attributing my acute depression that evening to that. Crazy. The common reasons ( Read more... )
