Mmm...  Can we just skip the rest of this week?  Well, okay, not Thursday, we can't skip Thursday.  But other than that, ugh.  So much to do, so little time.  Ah well, sic friatur crustum dulce.  And of course, a cookie to anyone who can tell me what that means.  =)

Although I've got to be a bit proud of myself, because (1) I got 46.5 out of 50 ( ( Read more... )

I basically did none of my homework tonight.  Oops.  I mean, I did about 1/3 of my global issues paper that's due Wednesday, I did maybe a quarter of my problem set, which is also due Wednesday, I kinda did my Latin homework slash wrote down random answers, I um... read another 50 pages of Dracula which I need to finish by Wednesday at the latest ( Read more... )

Um, wow.  Okay.  So I sold horse treats at a local schooling show today with the equestrian club...  it was pretty good.  But some people from my old barn were there (fortunately no one recognised me - I've changed too much and the trainer that was there wasn't my trainer) and I just laughed at their amazing riding skills.  Lol.  If they'd all just ( Read more... )

Okies, so it's that time of year.  The barn Christmas gift exchange / secret Santas.  Basically, we get five small gifts (Monday through Friday) and then one nicer/larger gift for our Christmas party on Saturday.  I know that I'm going to do chocolate covered pretzels, horse treats with a holiday theme (bought from the equestrian club fundraiser ( Read more... )

I'm not my family's answering service.  I'm not to blame if my mum's busy.  I'm not to blame that my dad's train is late.  So why the fuck am *I* the one who gets chewed out because I can't make my mum not busy, I can't make my dad's train come on time, and whatever else I did ( Read more... )

The weekend is here...  One more week to go until winter break.  Three weeks of school (five weeks total) to go until finals.

Basically, I'm ready to strangle my global issues teacher.  Not only do we have this paper to write, but she also gave us a massive packet on geopolitics.  Interesting, certainly.  But where the time to read it and answer the ( Read more... )

Today was so much better than yesterday, I cannot even describe it.  I woke up on time (school started at 8:20 instead of 7:20, so I wanted to be up by 6:45 - and I was) and I'm like, I can't deal with another shitty day.  Another shitty day will kill me.  Basically, English class sucked, but it always sucks and I didn't expect today to be any ( Read more... )
