oh god. my back is killing me. we tore down our pool today, with me and jess getting the demolition part of the job. she had a crow-bar and i had a sledgehammer. we would have been ready for the zombie attack, but instead we busted the shit out of the wooden rail around the now-missing pool.
amanda is in town! a.k.a. ashley's best friend from florida. she's insanely fun, and we always end up having a blast while playing games and the such. her and ashley enjoy the alcohol though, so i don't see them after the sun set.
oh, the semester ended without anything too exciting. we actually got a decent grade on our presentation in technical communication, though we did make the instructor cry from laughing. i think we got a 94 or something ridiculous like that. i'm totally amazed, because the guys kept repeating the same things over and over and our Q&A part was such a disaster! but she must not have thought that, cause we totally passed, and i got a great grade in it as well.
then on friday i got my creative writing portfolio back. i got a 94.5 and this is what he wrote about my writing:
"Your work shows an odd combination of pessimism and optimism about the world as if Darth Vader had just suggested you join the dark side and you are thinking about taking him up on his offer. But not quite. You are also big into what I call 'payoff lines' like 'better get to killin' or the answer to your aunt's question in church. Good stuff generally."
so yeah, that's cool. he made some comments on some of the things i wrote, and he really liked this one story i wrote about incest. yeah, i know, i'm morbid. i'll post it on fictionpress and link it here later if you want to read anything i turned in.
grade cards should be out in a week or two, so i get to wait till then to find out how i did overall.
school,
real life
