Hey, folks out there in reader land. It's been a few days since I posted, which is unusual for me. Let me cover some of the basics, then, since I'm feeling too lazy to post anything long. I'm back in Bellingham and just passing the time in a lazy way ( Read more... )

I'm done with my paper.

*Blink, blink.*

It's 12,526 words with the sources cited and title page, and 26 pages long, single spaced .12 Times New Roman. It may well be the largest piece of non-fiction material I've ever written. Don't know if its any good, but that's really secondary at this point.

I printed it out. It's pretty hefty-feeling, all things ( Read more... )

So it has come to this. I need to finish the social and political sections, come up with a brilliant conclusion, and put together a basic ppt presentation by 4 pm tomorrow. I also need to procure snacks and make sure I can give my presentation in the room by going there early and figuring out how all the buttons work. And I need to print out my ( Read more... )

Thesis: 2,557
Nanowrimo: 29,945

In my defense, I've been toiling to produce more thesis faithfully and doggedly for the last three hours. I haven't even had nanowrimo open, so I haven't been allowing myself to work on it. But this damn thesis is impossible! It's like trying to squeeze blood from a stone. I know all these things, but stringing ( Read more... )

So I'm in the library, actually doing a bunch of research for my thesis. I have several pages just filled with transcribed useful quotes and facts, and I'm reading through webpages and transcripts of Senate and House Committee hearings and books about demography...and I'm coming across some weird stuff. For instance:

In 1875-Direct federal ( Read more... )

I missed my first class, even though I was determined to go to all my classes during this, my very last week ever. Damn. But, on the bright side, I got my ass out of bed and went to donate plasma, read the article I was supposed to for my second class (even though it was 30 pages long) and wrote my 4 page movie analysis in about a half hour, even ( Read more... )

I am the most ridiculous person I've ever met. It's almost impossible to even live with myself. I exasperate me, and I'm so stubborn that I confound myself over the stupidest things. Like today ( Read more... )

I guess I will too. He said that his quarterly 3.6 is the worst he's ever done since he came to Western, and I thought that was sort of funny. Then again, with the results back, I got a 3.4, which might very well be MY lowest quarter ever. Pssh. Well, considering the amount of effort I put into spring quarter, I should be thanking my lucky stars I ( Read more... )

So I just took my Spanish final a half hour ago. I think it went pretty well. I did some rough calculations based on my other grades in that class, and I figured out that if I ace the final, I'll get an A in the class. Otherwise, I'll get an A-. Either way, not bad ( Read more... )
