Birthday and rambly thoughts

Sep 20, 2008 15:24

So yesterday I turned 21. Thank you for all the nice birthday wishes. :) My day was actually a fairly normal ordinary day, although I must admit I was grumpy, due to a crazy grammar teacher and subsequent stress (we may or may not have had a test yesterday, and in the syllabus, yesterday was the only day to take it at the Testing Center, if we did ( Read more... )

Group projects = the worst things ever. Hate 'em.

Aw, getting the package from home had to be very cool. :-)

which didn't have "Pushing Daisies" but oddly enough had a couple pairs of cute shoes which we tried on but didn't buy

Well why ever not?! They're shoes! ;-)

which did have "Pushing Daisies," as well as the Great Performances DVD of "Kiss Me Kate" with Brent Barrett and Rachel York

Total awesomeness.

go into FYE for one thing and come out with three--clearly that place is dangerous.

Dangerous and expensive.

And that was pretty much my birthday.

But next year you'll be out of school, right? And you'll be working at the Smithsonian.
(And a really cute guy will take you out to dinner at a nice restaurant and then to a play. We can always hope. can't we? :-D)

I'm not sure if that means she wants "I did the handout and went to the all the meetings" in really overblown language and large font, or if she wants to know what my ideas were. She's getting a combination of both, because even I can't make 2 sentences take up ( ... )

Yes, Group projects are horrid. And this teacher (who I have for 2 classes) has an unnatural fondness for them. But the package from home was nice. :)

I would have bought the shoes, but they didn't have them in my size, which was totally *not cool*.

And it's true--The Kiss Me Kate DVD is awesome. Especially Rachel York. She's my icon--I love her!

I like your plan for my birthday next year! :)

To make less appear more you can: mess with the margins (but the teachers get suspicious around 2" margins all around); mess with the font size (anything larger than 13 and you're in trouble); use really big words (ubiquitous, etc); repeat yourself (you know, like you're following the dictum to "tell em what you're gonna tell 'em, tell 'em, and then tell 'em what you told 'em); and that's about all I got. This is what 7 semesters as an English major has taught me. :D

I will never understand that type of teacher. :-/

Ah, I've been there.

Really? I didn't recognize her there! She's so lovely.

I can plan, but unfortunately, I'm no fairy godmother. :-/

Most of my teachers specify the font size. (Times New Roman 12. Expect for one teacher, who kept telling us that Ariel 11 is the new Times New Roman 12. Whatever.) I like the big words idea. :-D

Well, you can't say you haven't learned anything! ;-P

Oh, and thank you again for your lovely birthday banner! *Slipper and the Rose love* It was a beautiful thing to wake up to (yea, I check my email and all that before I go to school--I guess it's kind of an addiction... :D)
