Today...

• I wrote most of (and am soon going to finish writing) a really excellent essay for Sociology. I think I have my mojo back. My... essay-writing mojo.
• I had my second-last driving lesson ever! Next stop: P's. (Unfortunately, that "next stop" is two months away, because I'm still 16. But still.)

I'm off to another nerd-convention the weekend after next! This is a United Nations Youth Association one. As far as I can tell, we all get a country and spend two days roleplaying that country in a whole lot of political debates. This year's theme is " ( Read more... )

I really did only get on the computer tonight to send a couple of work-emails, and somehow I got distracted by Sean and WW and LJ and THIS SONG. I was going to make some muffins tonight, but I am way too exhausted, and I've got a 6:30 start tomorrow morning ( Read more... )

Mmm. Life is good. It's Friday night and I have a nice easy weekend ahead of me, almond-mocha muffins in the oven and several DVDs on loan from the library ( Read more... )
