For my New Years resolution this year, I am going to be one of those "fifty books" people! It was suggested to me by yoroshiqueen and I am going to GO FOR THE GOLD. I'll keep track of my progress in this post, which will stay at the top of my LJ until the beginning of next year - that way, I can see how much I'm failing my resolution every step of the year! ♥


In progress: 1
Completed: 4/50

( The books and the count: Summaries, thoughts, and page-tracking. )

SO THAT PAPER I'M FREAKING OUT ABOUT. I spent a great deal of time procrastinating last night and NOT WORKING ON IT, and so (surprise) it is not done. And I came to terms with the fact that it is going to be late! I decided not to email him because I don't want him to think I'm asking him for any favors or anything...

So today, he comes into class, walks around the room and collects the papers. When he gets to me, I tell him, "It's going to be late." Okay, fine, he moves along. He tells us to go and have a good Thanksgiving break.

I linger after everyone leaves,apologize and say, "I didn't email you ahead of time this time because I didn't want you to think I was asking for any favors." He walks up to me and smiles. I feel nervous so I go on, "I just have zero time management skills."

His smile twitches. He is trying not to laugh at me! I'm like "OMG WHAT IS HE THINKING, HE IS GOING TO TELL ME THAT I'M FAILING OUT OF THE COURSE AND SHOULDN'T BOTHER." He then asks, "When do you think you can get it in by?" with his I'M-NOT-LAUGHING smile still twitching!

I'm DYING of nervousness now and I tell him "by the end of the break." Then I ask how many points will be taken off, he says he won't take off as much as I thought it would be, and he's STILL TRYING NOT TO LAUGH.

I'm so confused! What just happened! He either HATES me 'cause I'm a HUGE slacker (each of my papers has been late and he hasn't taken any credit off of a one of them), he LOVES me because I'm honest, or he thinks I'm HILARIOUS! but in the bad way!

XD I'M AT A LOSS. I really don't know what happened! Has anyone else ever had a teacher react this way?

omg staples internet connection is FUCKING SLOW. >O This is not conducive to researching for a paper! HELLO DIDN'T THEY KNOW THAT WHEN THEY HIRED ME A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THAT TODAY I WOULD NEED TO DO LAST MINUTE RESEARCH SO THAT I DON'T FAIIIIIL OUT OF SCHOOL FOR THE FOURTH DAMN TIME?

kimli focussssssssssssssssssss

work on your paper

do not tweet vague idiocy or feed your fish on facebook or update your eljay

you are not doing well in your class! you need a good grade!

*refreshes flist*

_o_ I am so tired. I only seem to want to go to bed when I have another paper looming over my head. Rough draft is due tomorrow, so I should get cranking. It doesn't have to be perfection, but it does have to be done.

I'm sick of canceling plans on people to work on papers, or work a shift. Oh well. I'm going to take a nap then focus for srs.

Edit: I'm thinking of opening a separate checking account at TD Bank for various reasons, one of the deciding factors being that if I sign up within the next two weeks, I can get $25 for getting an account that doesn't gain interest (I never have enough money in my account TO gain interest), and $25 for signing up for direct deposit. That's $50 for free. I talked to the lady pushing it for a good twenty minutes, and it sounds pretty solid. Does anyone else have an account at TD Bank? What do you guys think of the service there/are you satisfied?

Slept almost ten hours! Wednesday night, I slept eleven... I was tiiiiired. But I feel better now! And hopefully tonight, I won't crash at 11pm. I can sleep in tomorrowwwww, this morning I could sleep in till tennnn. \o/ Tonight after work, I am going to RP my brains out!

And now! To LEAVE for work! I am looking forward to my reward. :3

WHILE I AM AT WORK

RECOMMEND A BOOK TO ME. Your favorite book!

And do not say "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" - because I've been there and done that, obv. - and also, do not say "Twilight." For very different reasons.

I'm looking for things to read! I lean toward sci fi and high fantasy! Will also read other genres, though!

I finished my paper. It is on its way to my professor. 8D

Now onto my other late papers.

violeteyedhair: Should I eat a cookie?
yoroshiqueen: Yes.
yoroshiqueen: Always eat cookies.

My outlook on life has been completely changed. I feel enlightened.

So! I am doing NaNoWriMo this year. Last year, I said I'd do it but I never actually started. And every year before that, I simply had no intention of doing it.

Today! I did start! I didn't exactly get going with flying colors, but the writing without worrying about quality bit is very difficult for me. I am hoping that NaNoWriMo will help me to get over my need for perfection the moment I get a sentence on the screen. That is one of my goals.

I met the daily goal of 1667 words, so I am pleased with myself for today! Hopefully I do better tomorrow.

Is anyone else doing it this year? What are you stories?

Mine is sci fi. :3 I'm not entirely sure where it's going, but it's about a guy who unwillingly becomes involved in illegal activity, gets in trouble, becomes a stow away by trying to run away, but only becomes more involved.

It starts out with him being very drunk, and he even barfs. Then blacks out. And it is beautiful. I want to write more barfing. It was so satisfying.

1693 / 50000 words. 3% done!

Ugh. ;o; My tummy feels barfy! I hope I don't feel sick all day! I'm excited to wear my costume!

Anyway, the plan was to have a bunch of friends over for a party but no one was really available and Luna has to work all day (D: SUCKY send her good vibes pls)m so it's just going to be me and Nikki, my friend Tess and POSSIBLY Andy (I don't know! If he and Brad are up to coming out, I guess?) and his other half.

I guess we are going to just play Wii and watch anime or something! I don't know. I didn't really plan that far ahead. I think I'll cook dinner, too, but I'm uncertain about that.

Pictures will be posted~ ♥
