(no subject)
I've been in Riverhead since Saturday night. After my meet, I took the train to Ronkonkoma and Cindy drove me the rest of the way home. We got calzones from this pizza place by the train before hopping on the LIE home. Sunday was Easter, so I just had lasagna, watched movies with my mom, and ran. Yesterday I hung out in Walmart and Kmart, and today I was over Bethany's playing Magic. I then went to the library to get all the books I need for this one class until the end of the semester. It was a very large pile! I dropped books a couple of times because it was so many.
Now that spring break is over, tomorrow kicks off a month of incessant homework assignments, since the profs really pile it on the last month of the semester. I swear, I won't want to go anywhere near a computer by the time this is all done! I like the computer for stuff like Facebook, Erised, and LJ, but if I'm stuck in front of one for hours because of homework, then I end up absolutely hating the stupid thing and wanting to throw it out the window. Epic defenestration!
The thing with me is, despite my love for writing for pleasure, I hate, detest, and loathe writing essays for class, so a simple paper can take hours because I am so easily distracted. I'd much rather take a test than write an essay. On tests, you're either right or wrong, whereas on essays you can have points docked just because the teacher does not like your writing style. They never even seem to agree on what is gramatically correct, which is frustrating! Some teachers love lengthy sentences, while others take off points. What constitutes a main idea with one might not be considered a sufficient statement of the thesis with another. And here I am faced with several papers... blughhhhh. Kill me now.
Time to stop procrastinating via Livejournal and finish that paper about Schwarzman... or maybe I'll just check facebook. Again. Or my email. Or I could go on my cErised haracter facebooks... hmm.
