I HATE SCHOOL
ok, that's an overstatement. i just really hate writing papers. i don't even hate the papers, because i generally feel pretty accomplished after writing one. i just hate the writing process. i'm like 25% through with my paper for tomorrow. what i hate is that it's so dry. it's like fact fact fact, because it's not persuasive. i started out by writing a thesis, that was going to be like BOOM SHACKA LACKA awesome (if that's possible), then i read the prompt that specifically said, "This assignment is fundamentally different than the previous one in that I do not expect you to argue for one outcome or another (i.e. it is not a persuasive paper)." so damn. anyway, the information is all strewn out in front of me, i just don't feel like making it cohesive.
HOWEVER, i did find this really helpful website that i think every college student should should bookmark - so bookmark it. it's workscited4u.com. it pretty much does your works cited page for you.
well, to update... it's almost over. i have so many papers/tests/speeches coming up that it really just sickens me to think about it, but then when i think of it being over, i realize that it means the year will be over. and when the year is over 25% of my undergrad is over. so i'm just not going to think about it. it's been a great year, but when i think about how there are only 3 left instead of 4, it makes me feel a little down.
i had such a good time this weekend (minus the trip to the ER, even though i did see byron sanders there), that i want that to last forever. but it can't. since this is the last week of class, exams start. i hear some people say that they're going to stay in all weekend, but honestly, who's going to be studying on friday night? it's the last day of classes, and chi psi hired a band... so that's what i'm planning on. i don't know if chi psi will be able to match the awesomeness that was chi phi on saturday, but we'll see...
i was out in the arboretum today on a blanket with some people. then i laid down and watched clouds pass through the leaves of a tree, and it was really nice....then i spoiled it by getting a headache from the heat which pretty much bummed me out for the rest of the evening. i saw matt today. he was going to go to the quad to play the guitar. then he called me while i was in the arboretum to tell me that he was in the quad and that i should come over (because i had told him that i was going either to the arboretum or the quad). and i didn't. as i always say, or as i occassionally say (that's more accurate), eff that ess.
he called me last weekend to ask me to dinner for his birthday (which was easter weekend)... he wouldn't tell me his birthday when i asked him when it was in march. and he didn't inform me of this birthday dinner until about .5 seconds before it happened, so when my phone didn't get service in my room (because it never does), i got the voicemail a few minutes later, and he had already left. and then he had the nerve to say, "i really hoped you would be able to come" to me, when he put in absolutely no forethought into that one. when i arranged my birthday dinner, i informed people a week in advance so they actually came. so even though i was mildly pissed, i didn't bitch at him because it was his birthday thing, and i'm nice enough not to be a bitch to someone when it's their birthday celebration. also, i've come to terms with the fact that some people just don't think. all i can say is, he's gonna be up the creek next year when his girls don't live across the hall from him, and he can't just stumble out of his room and fetch them...or have them knocking on his door. he might actually have to make an effort. we'll see if that ever happens.
