Druid's Sword: Book Four of The Troy Game
By Sara Douglass
see relatedHoly crapshit
I'm (supposed to be) writing a meditative essay for tomorrow, and I was looking on here to see if there was anything to use for it. Didn't have much luck with that, but holy crap. Looking back over this was interesting. I whine a lot. Damn. Lol. Good times, though. I look back to where I was freaking out about school freshman and sophomore years... hahaha. If only I knew... Should probably get that essay done, needs to be 8-12 pages and I only have 2.5 and it's 4:44am. It's going to be crap. That's ok, though. Senior year, hooray. I will be graduating in 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day. And venturing out into the real world. Or something. Plans now are to take a semester off and try to get a seasonal position somewhere that will actually apply to what I want to do as a career (when I figure that out). Then off to grad school in fall 2010. I'm seriously considering moving to Ireland for that. I want to get out of this country for a couple of years. NUI Maynooth it would be if that happens. 2 girls I met in Ireland, Brianna and Christine, are considering the same, hopefully we'd be roommates. For now, though, I should probably just focus on finishing up this semester.

The Norton Introduction to Poetry
By J. Paul Hunter
see relatedDuuuuudde....
It's been a while.
I thought I was done with xanga, but I thought I'd come hang out for a bit.
My "x" key isn't working very well.
This semester = stress.
After tomorrow I'll be half-way done with classes, though.
Thank fucking goodness.
19 credits, 7 classes, that might've been a bad idea.
Oh well. I had 3 essays due last week, and had the flu, lovely lovely, I got the first of those essays back today, and got an A-, so hooray!
Boys are stupid. I got dumped the day after valentine's day. How shitty is that?
On a brighter note... I have to get up at 6:45 tomorrow morning. Wait, that's not bright, it's still dark out then...
Oh well, keep on truckin'...

One more homework assignment for the semester.
Not a big deal, just worth 15% of my grade, ha...

Fuck.
Poor time management skills. That's what I have.
So, it's 5:30 am, and I'm taking a quick break from writing my 10-page paper.
I only have 5 pages written.
It's due at 3:30 today.
Shit.
And of course, I have other homework due in a class at 9 am, so I'm down to approximately... 5 hours to finish this beast. Shit.
In other news, I got really drunk Saturday night, it was a lot of fun. Silly silly silly.
Also, my house is a mess. And my room is a disaster. Grand grand grand.
Oh, and I have a 10 page story due on Wednesday. Glorious.
Thanksgiving break is going to be AMAZING. Yes.
