My eyelid hurts. I think my eye is bleeding. BLEEDING. Well, it's not. But still.
Aaaanyway. Essay. Essay on high fidelity. How does Nick Hornby use jokes to confront issues? Well, something like that. I'm actually feeling fairly relaxed about this. Sure, i have only about 3 hours to write it, and two main points instead of three or four, but pffft. I also have coffee and chocolate and good music. Mmm. After this, i am going to write. And write. And write. I have been a COMPLETE SLACKER and as such i've done about 1/12th of my writers workshop work instead of 1/2. yeah. I know. And i *can* write when i get an idea (and it's a creative major due in the next day) but oh, i'm so slack. NO. No MOre SlaCk.
(B T P M, PN F L, i can sing a rainbow....)
