I'm bored... and avoiding studying. I've re-read my notes and gone over my midterm, that's about it. The rest of the time I've played way too much minesweeper. Eh. Survey stolen from Katy, though I think I've done this before ( Read more... )

It's been a stressful week so far, but this may have made my day. My Renaissance professor wrote this at the bottom of my last paper: "P.S. You win this semester's "good sport" award for smiling at the professor's feeble attempts at humor ( Read more... )

Someone explain to me that the one day I actually am planning on going to bed early, it doesn't happen. I fell asleep at my desk twice today because I was so tired. And I'm climbing into bed and my parents call me. At midnight. All I want to do is sleep right now, not end up in a 45 minute conversation with my parents (which I normally enjoy ( Read more... )

I'll do a real update later, but I thought I'd post this poem I wrote about NaNoWriMo. Hehe. I ended up scrapping my first attempt and started over and it's already going way better. Too bad I've had NO time to write and there's no way in hell I'll make 50,000 words. Eh. I'll keep going though. Still, here it is, for all my writing friends ( Read more... )

God, writing until 3am is not really a good idea, especially when I'm tired. But the story was coming and I know better than to do something trivial like go to sleep when I have inspiration. So here I've been for the past three hours, typing furiously to write this story. Good news is, it's almost done and not due till Tuesday. Just have to ( Read more... )

I have never had more problems writing a poem than now. I have been working on this for over an hour and I keep throwing away anything I write. I need a damn poem so I can go to bed! I'm getting awfully close to using an old poem I wrote, but I really don't want to. But if this complete lack of anything coherent goes on much longer, who knows ( Read more... )

I hate it when I can't figure out what I'm writing. I have to write a short story for my fiction writing class next week. No problem, right? Except I'm having problems writing it. First off, it has to be normal fiction--okay, I wasn't going to write my normal fantasy stuff for it anyway. He spent about half an hour last class talking about how ( Read more... )

Know what I hate? Spending an hour on the phone with customer service trying to figure out why my computer isn't working!!! It's even worse when half that time I'm on hold listening to really bad elevator music ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say that I don't think I'm allowed to watch the World Cup anymore. I might have spent most of the morning screaming at the tv. Maybe. A smidge. Enough that the dog left the room. Oops. But is it really my fault? It's not that the US lost to the Czech Republic 3-0, I can deal with that. The Czech are ranked 2nd, we weren ( Read more... )
