When I heard the learn'd astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and
      measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much
      applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and ( Read more... )

Yesterday I hated "My Boyfriend's Back." Well, okay, not yesterday. Yesterday I was home sick, and not thinking about it. But the last time I sang it, I hated it. It's just one of those songs that you have to be in exactly the right mood to enjoy. You need to be appropriately bouncy, random, and cheery to have fun singing it. The last time I sang ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have been slacking in Chem. I know I have, and I'm really, really ashamed of it. And I'm not going to let myself slack anymore.

But there was one thing I didn't slack on at all. And that was the Old Science project. I worked really hard on that, even if I didn't really pay attention to the format (because it's a ROUGH draft). I apologize ( Read more... )

My head is full of nothingness and blankness, and ohmygod it's after 1?! Seriously? ...How....????? No ( Read more... )

I hate funerals. That's my thought for today. Funerals suck. Suck suck suck suck suck ( Read more... )

Finals are over, thank god. I didn't think they'd be that bad, and they weren't all that hard, but they were extremely stressful. And I really want to know how I did, but it will probably be another week before they get around to mailing the report cards out. And then my parents will open it and tell me what I got, like always, even though I always ( Read more... )

For so long, I thought that the way to be close to people was to hold everyone you respect close to you, even if they don't care about you. Today I realized that doesn't work, because as much as you love and care about them, if they don't treat you right, then you are just wasting time and hurting yourself. When they act distant, or don't want to ( Read more... )
