phew
the many huge projects and tests in a short period of time is over! for now. it seemed like everything went wrong this weekend.
on saturday i took all the pictures i needed left for my math project on my mom's camera, and then i went to her and asked if we could get it developed and she goes NO THOSE PICTURES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR LUCAS'S FIRST COMMUNION YOU ARE NOT WASTING THE LAST 8 I AM NOT DRIVING YOU INTO TOWN TO GET THEM DEVELOPED IVE BEEN DRIVING ALL DAY AND BESIDES THEY WONT BE DONE IN TIME ANYWAY!!!! so so much for that idea. i had to make emergency call to libby #1.
luckily, libby had a digital camera i could use. so i took my pics and she emailed them to me. when i got them, i opened the first one to see if it would work, and it did. so i told libby it was all good and thanks alot. then i went to work on my other projects. i did my whole lang and lit essay and some of my bio project. then i got back to work on my math project. but, when i went to my email to open them up, it wouldnt work. so i made emergency call to libby #2.
she had to send the pics to me over instant messanger for it to work. so she did, and i got to work. it was taking a long time, and then-the powerpoint froze. it was not responding, and i hadnt saved since i got the pictures,and i had xed out the im window.
i tried every method of recovery for them, but nothing worked. it was gone. tearfully, i decided to email mrs. mendo saying i was sorry but i wouldnt be able to have the project done on time, and then i glanced at the assignment paper. "no late projects will be accepted. no excuses!" i was about to shoot myself when i came up with the bright idea of faking sick the next day so i could stay home and finish. i made up my whole plan and hoped my dad would fall for it.
next day: i got up, put on my best sick face, rubbed my forehead on my lightbulb to make it hot, and went into my dad's room. i told him i felt dizzy and shaky, and asked to stay home. he felt my forehead, and said i probably had what he had had last week, and i could stay. so i did. i did a little work on my various projects, and hung around extremely bored all day, and really started working in earnest when my bros came home from school. i waited until libby got home from practice, and then i had to make emergency phone call #3.
she resent me the pictures, and i saved them into my pictures this time, and then i went to put them into the powerpoint. but alas! the changes i had made during the day were gone like the wind. i dont know where they went, im sure i had saved it. but they were gone. resigned to my bad luck, i went about redoing what i had done. finally i finished and went to print it out but-no printer paper left. i had my whole math project to print, half of my bio project, and the first page of my l+l essay, because i had the wrong format. and i had no paper. so my mom came up with this typewriter paper that i printed my bio proj out on, but when i went to print my lang and lit essay, there was no ink. but i thought it was just because the printer couldnt take the typewriter paper. so i finished the math project all i could do, and i got it all ready the only thing lacking was the pictures. then the next morning i made emergency phone call to libby #4.
i asked her to borrow some printer paper so i went over and got some and got to work. i printed out the first page of my lang and lit essay only to find that- the printer really was out of ink! luckily the math project was all in color. so libby came over for her ride to school and she helped me cut out the pictures, and i finished my math project in homeroom. after that things pretty much went smoothly, i guess, but the beginning of my western civ project is due friday and i havent started that yet either....
i dont think anyone read that whole thing but thats ok, i just needed to type it all out.
THANK YOU LIBBY YOU ARE MY LIFESAVER FOR EVER AND I OWE YOU BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!
