So I had to watch Gallipoli for one of my WWI final essays. I just finished, and I have this to say.

...That was the gayest movie ever.

I know, I read too much into these things as it is, but...ho-yay everywhere. You start out with Mel Gibson's character, whose name I didn't bother to remember because he's Mel freaking Gibson and Mel Gibson always ( Read more... )

Ahaha, hay guyz, look.

Yeah, that's my school. If it's not plagiarism or security breaches, it's music piracy. Awesome, huh?

No, I did not get one of those letters. I am fortunately not retarted about the things I do and the way I do them.

In other news, I have written 6 papers over the course of this week. Five pages for Ancient Greece on Monday. ( Read more... )

I did not exactly sleep last night. See, there was this paper...and I didn't want to write it, so I watched CSI a lot. And then around midnight I remembered that there was this other paper, which was shorter, and a whole bunch of brief linguistics journal entries that I hadn't written, and...yeah. I saw the sunrise; it was pretty.

...Also I think I ( Read more... )

I don't know why I bother trying to get things in before deadline. No matter what I do, I always wind up running around at the last second like the proverbial headless avian, getting the paper in just under the wire.

Or above the wire, as the case may be.

See, I was done with my paper at 5:30. And I mean done--editing, margins, headers. I even had a ( Read more... )

I really have got to stop focusing on word count. I have to write this thing until it's done, whether that's 1600 words or 2500. God, I hope it's not 2500.

...And I just spent ten minutes drooling over the synonyms dictionary.com gives for "guilt." Contrition and culpability and delinquency and disgrace. Malfeasance. Peccability, penitence, remorse ( Read more... )

College Bowl quote of the night: "You know, if everything's positioned correctly, nothing should be dangling."

I was talking about participles, people. Participles.

...Although that is one of the highlights of my college experience, right there.

This paper would be a lot easier to write if I didn't keep typing "Duke of Gloucester" as "Duck of ( Read more... )

Seriously, I think I am in bizarro world right now.

--First of all, I got that reprieve on my paper. Did I mention that in the email he said I was "clearly a conscientious student"? Yeah, maybe it's a good thing he's never actually met me ( Read more... )

If I turn the midterm in by Monday, the professor will give me full credit.

Full credit.

I am absolutely speechless with gratitude and glee. So speechless, in fact, that I will not even complain one bit about the fact that I have two papers due tomorrow and a midterm due Monday. In fact, I will be thankful for the pressure. Because pressure is ( Read more... )

I missed the second midterm for my WWI class ( Read more... )

It is 10:42 a.m., and all my Ancient Greece paper needs is a conclusion and some severe edits.

The library pop machine is out of Mountain Dew. How does this happen? Is Pepsi supposed to keep me awake until 3 p.m. today? I don't think so. Arg.

...My paper has a Panic! at the Disco lyric as an epigraph. But honestly? It could not be more relevant to my ( Read more... )
