Completely unsettled mental state.  It doesn't help that I have slept 8 hours of the last 55.  Problem.

This was such a ridiculous week.  I had a midterm for Gevirtz, a mandatory book discussion in Italian with Beneteau and three other students, an Italian paper, and a history paper.  And Mock Trial and all that jazz.  So I was not in a particularly ( Read more... )

Currently watching Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet with Candice, Jes, and Maxwell.  Throwback to high school, woo!  This movie gets no better with age.  Just you wait until Robin Williams enters and does nothing funny.  Though we did just all yell "Get it Claudius!" and "Why is Hamlet rapping?"  Oh my goodness this movie, I think it's gotten worse.

dfjNSLDfLSdfLS we added The Clash to the rack at WSOU I am so excited.  Oh and the Sleeping.  BUT SERIOUSLY, THE CLASH.

I get to AP for That Other 70s Show!  Now I'll actually know the songs that we're playing!  That mostly makes up for my four hour shift on Wednesday nights, from which I will need to go directly to Mock Trial meetings.  Fun times ( Read more... )

Crazy day.

Crazy week, actually.

- Mock Trial is eating my life, as usual.
- Handed in my research paper, which I FINISHED EARLY I WAS SO PROUD.  I was still up until 2 that morning editing for some terrible reason.  Whatev, it's over!  Thirteen pages about a crazy medieval nun, why did that take me such a pathetically long time?  Oh well!

So. April is apparently National Poetry Month, so I'm going to post a bunch of my favorite poems throughout the month.  Because I am an incorrigible poetry nerd.

Don't go far off

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
