I am so sick of everyone whining about the part that they got in the musical or having to read 10 pages in a history book.
I overslept.
My article runs today. I can only find one edit... within the material that stayed. But, they cut out two entire (kind of VITAL) freaking paragraphs.
I feel slighted. And sad.
Also, I had the craziest dream. I guess I'm anticipating something I don't want to do but must tomorrow. I woke up all... unsettled.

I didn't get any part in the musical (because there was no musical) and I have to read about 400 more pages. Of Henry James and litcrit. Oh, and I have 5 pages left on my paper.
How's that for whining?
Well, I can understand that whining, Plum. I would whine too.
I'm just sick of everyone around me complaining about having to read 10 pages a night and having only 5 days to write a 3 page paper.
You know that part of a paper where you're at the conclusion (which you have put off for a dreadfully long period of time) but you can't pinpoint what you want to -- and are supposed to -- say, so you just babble on and on for like, another page?
So there right now.
I suck at writing conclusions.
Two paragraphs? That is sad. Does it still make sense, at least?
It makes some sense. Those paragraphs add up to several hundred words. Their exclusion kills the flow I worked really hard to achieve because I didn't want it to feel choppy as those things often do. Oh well. :/
I write the kind of conclusions that without fail let the reader know I have no idea what I mean.

In papers that are just part of the grind- not stuff like my thesis, that I'm taking a lot of trouble over- conclusions are the culmination of my BSing skills, in which I bring forth all of my years of experience in pretending I have something to say besides what I've already said. I wonder if political speechwriters feel this way.
ive accomplished a lot today so far, just none of it had to do with studying for my finals. i REALLY need to get on that.
I have an hour to write two more short essays and then I can vegetate for the rest of the evening.

Once I finish this paper...I still have a take-home final to do. Urgh. But after that I have a week to devote to teapots and studying for my English final, which shouldn't be too hard.
I hate how my school uses euphemisms for everything, detention is known as the [insert name of HS] Beautification Program, and to be a part of it, you have to be able to recite the oath you once had to repeat during an induction ceremony during freshmen year. My goodness.
I have to leave for an exam in one hour, but currently I'm exhausted and feel like I'm going to throw up. Is it horrible for me to hope it's food poisoning or something drastic, if only so I have a legitimate excuse for screwing up so badly this week?
I've done that before.
Is it sad that I plan on cutting school to study?

The grades were posted like 4 days ago for the classes I got an "A" and an "A-" in.
I just got my other class grade back and received a "B."
And, to tell you the truth, I think she was being generous. I think she was a bit generous because I went to nearly all classes (beside the one where I had a drs nots) and participated...etc. Much of the class did not do either.
I am going to visit my 2 month old cousin tomorrow through Thursday! Finally! YAY!!!
I think my aunt and I have finally compromised on my Christmas gifts.

dancing, what did you compromise on? (if you don't mind me asking)
4 DAYS!
SweetQ - A binder to hold my Playbills, extra pages for that binder, Brian Stokes Mitchell's CD, and the "Kiss Me, Kate!" piano/vocal boook.
I have to swim tomorrow in gym. Meh.

dancing, that sounds like a good compromise.
Something you wanted and something she could actually buy you!
Why aren't I applying to any boarding schools? A question that still stumps me.
I want a chocolate sandwich.

OMG I love swimming! If swimming was an alternative to P.E., I would take it in a heartbeat.
I. hate. being. treated. like. a. child.
And I'm jealous of all you college kids who get a break of almost a month when I, in high school, get barely a week.
I feel sick....like that awkward rumbling in your stomach where you don't know if it's better to eat or to not eat.
