i want santa to bring me a boy. not just any boy. THE boy. yeah yeah yeah, i know i'm obsessed with christmas...moving on.
Senior Independent Project. SIP. Senior Seminar. Mama Hanson's Class 'o Death. whatever you want to call it, it SUCKS. I've done every single appendix on time and well so far. i've gotten great comments on my outline and interview. I HAD my interview, and got all check-pluses on my outline. I have 16 amazing sources, and pages upon pages of great articles/books. I am IN LOVE with my topic, adn could talk to you for 6 hours about it without being sick of it/repeating any information. And yet....
i sat down to actually start my rough draft yesterday, and I managed 2 sentences in 1.5 hours. Within those 2 sentences, are 4 footnotes. I think the only original words I wrote, without using quotes or paraphrasing were "and" and "since". DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE THEIR ENTIRE PAPER IS JUST ONE BIG QUOTE???? What if I just start my paper with an open quotation mark, and type 20 pages(standard style ;-) ) of intellectual thought, then end it with a closing quotation mark?? Does that work??
My rough draft is due to my advisor a week from tomorrow. December 9th, 2005. 7 days to write a 20 page paper. And yet, saturday is POTH practice for Splanners from 1-5pm, then BBG from 6:15-late. Sunday is work then homework. Monday-Thursday everyday is POTH rehearsal/dress rehearsal/show. After school-5 pm on Mon-Wed, then 5:30-9 on Thursday. COME SEE PUTTIN' ON THE HITZ....RE'MIXD 2005!!!!!!! (7:00 pm THursday at WHS...tickets are $4 i believe....its gonna be CRAAAAZZY!)
but anyway. I have NO time next week to write this paper, and I'm starting to feel the pressure Flowers/Charlie Brown/drama kids feel the week of a show. sorry for not being sympathetic before now....P.S. I HOPE CHARLIE BROWN GOES WELL TONIGHT/TOMRROW/SATURDAY!!!!
and to top all this fantastic stuff off....i have strep. I've felt like crap since Tuesday. But i dont get sick. Ever. Even when i feel sick and get tested, there's nothing wrong with me. Nevertheless, after 2 days my mom practically FORCED me into teh dr. today to get a strep test. 1.5 hours later, I walked out diagnosed with strep. yay. i've been contagious in school for 2 days-sorry guys. (esp linds...who shared a salad with me at internship today)
sorry for making you read this...i needed to rant. And now, as your reward for reading all that, a cute quote of the week:
Background: I'm babysitting Wed. night for Beyla (age 4), Manny(age 7), and Avi(age 10). I'm tucking Beyla in and we're talking about how old she is(cause i can never remmeber) and she said that she's 4. I asked when her birthday was, and we discussed birthdays. I told her mine was 2 weeks ago, and she goes:
"Oh, so now you are 11??" in this matter-of-fact tone of voice. I almost died laughing....b-rod called me a freshman last year, but i dont think i look as young as 11!!! i'm not taking a 4 year old's perspective though...damn! Off by 7 years! Manny (the 7 year old) thought i was 16...at least it's closer.
