WINTER BREAK!!!

HAND DRAFTING IS OVER. I'm going to hibernate until next semester.

P.S. I got an A- in hand drafting and a B- in political theory. SO I have a 3.1 GPA (thank you failed test in Philosophy and Logic). But it's cool. Because it's over 3.0 and I can always do better next semester. WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Professional Hobo-ism Seems to be a Logical Option

At this point in time, I may as well just drop out of college.

1. Because I'm exhausted and stressed to the point of physical illness.

2. Because this stupid philosophy and logic course is kicking my ass with studying.

Good news, I got at least a B on my political theory exam so I have at least a C+ in the class, therefore I will most likely get a 3.0 (thank goodness).

I can't wait to go home so that I can sleep for a month.

I Refuse to Study Right Now

I should be studying for finals. And I was for a good long while... BUT! I feel like butt right now and I'm terrified I'm going to fail. Therefore I don't study.

Make sense? Nope.

Will I start being logical and get some work done? Not likely.

Really, in all honesty, I have no idea how it could be worse right now. Not only do I have a final at 8am and I am SOOO unprepared it's not even funny, I'm feeling super nosh and my head is killing me and stupid North can't get their heating to work in my room so that's really not helping my situation any.

.....BLEH. I think I'm done ranting for now. I'm going to attempt to learn an entire semester of political theory in about 6 hours. WHOOOOO!!!!!

It's Been a While....

I haven't had a life for the past couple of weeks (thanks to school) to update.

However, there are some important things that should be noted:

1. Mike Demers, you are not Mel Gibson (yeah, I'm talking about you.)
2. Marknovick.blogspot.com (this needs to exist soon, btw) was not paid to promote the Greg Purnell Daily, it's just that awesome.
3. I'm currently dying. Thank you, college and shitty heating in North.

But, good news! I may possibly not fail out of school this semester! WHOOO!!! I just need to ace my political theory final, raise my philosophy and logic grade a few points, and get As in all of my theatre classes. No biggie.

But really, so funny. Especially since I definitely do not have enough done for drafting, which is due Thursday. GUESS WHO'S NOT SLEEPING EVEN THOUGH SHE'S GOING TO DIE OF SOME WEIRD COLD?? This one!

All Day/Nighters

All I really have to say is thank god I managed to get back to UConn before 10:30 Sunday night like my dad was planning because I have spent the entire Sunday working.

Technically I should still be working, but I'm dying a little inside so I stopped for a bit.

Let's see, today I:

-almost entirely cleaned my room

-completed a watercolor painting

-got over 40 pieces of research for A Christmas Carol

-cut, pasted, organized and plastic sheeted all of the research into a binder

-read for pol theory and did the homework (for once)

-studied for my philosophy class (which hopefully I'll pass)

-made my bed (which, of course, is separate from cleaning my room)

I will possibly die during the course of the day BUT!!! I checked my email and there's one from my costuming teacher and class is cancelled. It also happens to be my last class SO I'll be finished at noon today which means in 6 hours, I can get some sleep :)

Things I Am Thankful For:

• Sleeping 'til noon
• My dad who does so many fantastic things for me
• My sister who, no matter how often I piss her off, will always kick that guy's ass who's been picking on me

16. Jackie (for having a stalker blog: jackiecookfair.blogspot.com)
