3 papers down

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:27:38 GMT

1.5 more to go! Got the Spanish one out of the way. Now all that's left is the art paper and half of my Advanced Comp paper.

2.5 papers down!

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:45:26 GMT

And the .5 is half of my ten page paper! Now to do the research part...which won't be hard, I just don't want to interview people. So, I only have eleven-ish pages left to write. Three have to be in Spanish, though (just shoot me). That paper would have totally been done a week ago if it could be in English. And I really don't want to do my art paper. It's going to be a lot tougher to write than the one last semester because, apparently, we're not discussing Medieval painting...Mosaics, yes, but not painting, and I don't remember anything from my last art class. But, whatever. I just have to bullshit three pages.

Anyway...I kind of want the New Moon soundtrack. And I kind of want to date a total country boy. Not a redneck, mind you, just country. He even plays amazing country music (and I'm not just saying that...He really is wonderful, and I hardly ever like country music.) *sigh* We'll see. Probably nothing will come of it, but I'll give it a shot. Maybe.

One paper down!

And I guess you'll be getting updates on my predicament.

I hate this November.

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:37:28 GMT

I've got a total of five papers and at least one essay due next month. Fuck. The page lengths are as follows (all double-spaced): Spanish 306 essay(s) - 1 page (in Spanish), art paper - 3 pages, Spanish 301 research paper - 3 pages (in Spanish), Brit lit paper - 4 pages (over half way finished! will be done by the end of the week!), Advanced comp major project paper - 10 pages, and sociology paper - no specific length, but it must answer all question. And here I was wanting to do NaNoWriMo. Let me reiterate: Fuck. That's at least 23 pages, assuming the soc paper is two. Maybe if I combine all the papers together it'll be 50,000 words?

So, my plans are as follows:
Finish the Brit lit paper this week, as soon as possible.
Start working on the SPA 301 paper, which shouldn't be too bad unless I have to write it in Spanish.
Do the art paper as soon as we start discussing medieval paintings.
Do the SPA 306 essay(s) whenever it's (they're) assigned. Those only take a couple hours at most.
Do the sociology paper as soon as we watch the movie it's about. Should be fairly easy.
Work on the advanced comp project all throughout. This paper won't be difficult, just long.
And maybe write some fiction in between.

So, I was thinking the other day about how much fun I had as a kid. Then I though, "Well, I should have more fun now." I think I'll do just that. In fact, a couple weeks ago I downloaded a lightsaber app to my phone and spent an awesome fifteen minutes using it quite enthusiastically.

Anyway, the next day, which happened to be yesterday, after I decided to have more fun, my horoscope on Yahoo! said: If you haven't been able to get that certain person's attention, start using your imagination! There are no rules about how to engage with someone who makes you feel this way -- the door is wide open to many possibilities. So think of something unusual that will get their attention in a disarming way. Be prepared to make yourself look silly in an effort to make them notice you. By showing that you have a sense of humor about yourself, you'll engender fondness.

I don't date, so all that codwallop about "that certain person" should be ignored. I like to think the universe wants me to have more fun in life, too.

Writer's Block: Sleep on it

Did you ever say anything to someone in anger that you lived to regret? Did you apologize? If so, did it bring you closer?

I would just like to point out that anyone writing a response to this question did not die and then regret something...The "lived" is entirely unnecessary.

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 02:56:28 GMT

Today in one of my Spanish classes we were translating sentences and my professor said, "And the next one...'Everybody needs love.' Hmm...Molly that seems like you, why don't you take it." It's kind of nice to know that even Dr. Waag knows that I'm a lover.

Anyway, I'm just putting off working on a paper. It's about Keats and "Bright Star" and its syntax and what not, but I just can't get into it. I really want to see the Bright Star movie. And Zombieland, and I want to go to the Toy Story double feature.

By the way, Britt - don't worry about the stuff that didn't happen.

Really, it is. What happened is discouraging, but I think it's more funny than anything. That's the good thing about being me - I'm not bothered by too much.

Butterflies

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:19:09 GMT

I haven't had butterflies since high school, but today they showed up again. I kind of hope this crush amounts to something, or at least lasts a little longer than my crushes tend to. Rarely do I think I could actually date someone that I like, but him? Yes. And if not, it's no skin off my nose or whatever that saying is.

I need a time turner. I'm taking eighteen hours, which isn't really so bad because (so far) I've been able to keep up with everything, but, then again, it's only the second week of classes, although I've had a ton of homework, so I think it'll work out. Problem is, five of my classes are on MWF, all in a row. So I was sitting in my second class and I thought, "Oh, no! I missed my art class! What were we supposed to go over? Can I get the notes from anyone? Would Dr. Schrock give me a recap? No, wait...I don't have art for another two hours." And I have two English classes back to back and I couldn't remember which class was in which room.

On another note, I'm kind of thinking I should have done interior design instead of literature. Career options would be a lot more fun, for one thing, and for another, I think I'd be really good at it.

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:59:08 GMT

There's this girl in my Spanish class who should totally be in a higher level than 301. As far as I and anyone who sits around me can tell, she is practically fluent in it, and she is particularly annoying. We folks who are pretty much awful at Spanish wish she would just shut the fuck up because not only does she make us all look bad, but her voice rises like ten pitches when she speaks in Spanish. So, it's more or less like a chipmunk gibbering away about God knows what.

So there's that girl. There's also a guy that I have a couple classes with (and I do kind of like him, for simplicity's sake), and today she moved over close to him in class and she was laughing at, like, everything he said. It kind of pissed me off. Not that I think he would ever go for her, because he's also part of the make-fun-of-the-blonde-girl, why-the-hell-can't-she-shut-up? group. And it's not so much that I'm jealous, it's more that I kind of feel like I need to protect him from her for some strange reason. (Strange because I have absolutely no idea why.)

Anyway, that's what's going on. Plus eighteen hours of classes. Fun, fun, fun.

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:55:16 GMT

So, I was hanging out with one of my two friends today, and she was talking about God knows what, because that's just what she talks about, and she said something like, "I guess you're one of my best friends." I've considered her to be one of my best friends for about three or four years. All righty then.

As much as that sounds like a FML post, I don't like FML. I like GMH because I'm a positive person. http://www.givesmehope.com/ (I am really fucking positive, it's insane.)

I never "lol", but this is cause.

"Se me olvidaba decirte que posees la belleza de la Rosa."

I have the beauty of a rose. Excuse me while I snigger. Not that I'm ugly, it's just funny. I joined Babbel.com because I want some practical help with my Spanish, and all but three people that have contacted me have been creeps. That's what one of the creeps sent me.

And now for something completely different.
I've decided that I fucking love baseball! I decided about a year and a half ago that I like baseball players, but going to a game is twice as nice. You get to see a game and admire the (good) male physique. Good as in in shape and wonderfully muscular. A town close to me got a minor league team this year, which is awesome, because minor league games are really fun, and apparently more fun than major league ones. Going again Friday - can't wait!

Happy birthday, J.K. Rowling! Which of her seven Harry Potter novels do you think is the most satisfying read?

GoF, OotP, and DH. The first two have everything - duels, growing relationships, deaths, exciting parts. They leave very little to be wanted (except for Sirius not dying!). DH concludes everything in what I think is a satisfying way.

I feel like doing something productive (like writing, or finishing a book, or doing cross-stitch), but I also feel rather lazy. I hate it when my feelings contradict each other.

And it should be noted that laziness will win; it always does.

Just saying.

News about the Taco Bell dog's death made Yahoo!'s main-page news, but that of Frank McCourt's didn't. Guess a little yippy dog is more important that a teacher and author who had an impact on people's lives.

Writer's Block: It Sounds Better When You Say It

Je ne sais pas. It sounds so much better than "I don't know". And "c'est vrai".

Note to self: take more baths. The last time (other than tonight) that I had one was during the ice storm in January, and then it was lukewarm at best.

Seriously, what family of five (or four when one is at his apartment) needs a bag of boneless chicken breasts in bulk? Or a million pound thing of ground beef? And then more meat on top of that when they already have enough to last a while? And, for Christ's sake, no one family would ever need THAT many strawberries. Ever. In like a whole year, we would never need that many. I guess this is why women do the shopping. And on top of my dad's and brother's brainless grocery excursion, they didn't want to bring in the sacks all by themselves! It was like ten sacks (and two boxes of strawberries, but I'm not counting those). My mom and I could have brought that much in by ourselves in one load each.

And my older brother...He got an apartment because he wanted to get out of the house. Where's he been for the past week? Here, at the house. If I had an apartment, I wouldn't be here, that's for sure. At church Sunday, he wouldn't let his three-year-old daughter have cookies. I mean, what the hell? All kids eat in church; that's how they stay quiet.

Enough of that. So I was in a wedding last night and the groomsman I walked with is gorgeous. He's half Mexican and half Puerto Rican, which is a really good combination, just fyi.

I'm going to go attempt to remove my nails now. Here's to hoping.

Fri, 15 May 2009 16:45:45 GMT

I'm going to see Angels & Demons tonight. Exciting. Especially since I've been wanting a movie made out of that book for about five years now. It's better than The da Vinci Code, but, honestly, I can't remember what goes on in it. How awful of me.

I went and got my nails done for the first time yesterday. Not sure I'm liking it. It's nearly impossible to scratch an itch, but I ended up filing them down a lot so they're not as annoying now. The guy who did them (who has to have the most disgusting nails of anyone in that business) slopped on the clear nail polish. It's all bubbly and such and I don't know if I can remove it or not.... And I paid twelve bucks for the guy to put white polish on the ends of my toes. What a waste. I could have done that myself. Well, you live and you learn.

Weird.

You know how sometimes when you're reading something or talking and you read or say the exact same thing that was in a song or on TV at like the exact same time? I love that, but every once in a while it's a little weird. Like several weeks ago I was reading and "Oh, goody." came up. My niece was watching TV at the time (I think it was Oswald) and he said "Oh, goody." Where the fuck do you ever hear "oh, goody"? And just now I read "Fear for my safety." and those same words played in a song on TV at the same moment. Like I said, sometimes it gets weird.

I realized today that I haven't strived for an A all semester. It's been coming to this since I started college. I was a straight A student in high school (except for geometry [my teacher taught us about her grown children and then tested us on geometry] and physics), and Bs have been disappointing until this semester. I got a 90.5 on an exam and was excited. And an 86.5 on a presentation and was quite pleased.

I named my (and my mom's and niece's) new beta fish Ranger after Ranger in the Stephanie Plum books. It doesn't really fit because the fish is white and purple and blue, but I just had to do it.
