I just wrote a really sarcastic editorial for my English assignment. I actually think it'll appeal to Jessica (yeah, the teacher wants us to call her Jessica), but I'm relieved that it's only a rough draft due Friday. I can always rework it later for when the real thing's due.
I put so little time into it because I'm only about a third of the way done with my Human Event paper that's due Friday and I know I'm going to need to devote a shit ton of time to it. It's a big deal, Dr. Susser doesn't fuck around. He's a professor I actually respect, because he doesn't take shit essays and mark them up for big words. I know I have skated by more than once on those grounds alone, and he made it very clear that wouldn't fly. I'm actually really proud of what I've written so far, because I've been writing and rewriting it over and over again out of sheer fear of disappointment (and a terrible grade on my first honors paper).
I'm really excited about SG this Friday. Deborah obliged me by being my date. It's going to be rockin'. Then it's Vegas time on Saturday, when I'll get to see my mama for the first time in months. Kate = stoked.
Lauren is a bad friend. She takes me out for far too much Jack-in-the-Box.

A little tip: Starting a paper seems like the most difficult part of the process... looking for that first paragraph or point or whatever that will tie everything together. If you ever find yourself just looking at a blank .doc page trying to figure out what to write and nothing comes (or it comes and then is deleted, rinse, repeat) turn off your monitor. Once the monitor is off, just type what you know for 6 minutes. Whatever you type doesnt have to make sense, it only needs to be related to the subject and you cannot stop typing in the 6 minutes. Once the time is up, turn the monitor back on, do some re-arranging and voila! You just came up with a skeleton and a start.
