Cruising along on my paper
Nov. 7th, 2007 10:29 amI'm on page four of a minimum of five. I'm shooting for seven and I would like to be done with it around 2:30 today. Don't know if that will happen.
I am also not entirely convinced that I am doing the assignment correctly. Too late now. I've just got to keep busting my ass and trust in my 1337 academic skillz.
Sigh.

It's 2:11 in the AM
Nov. 7th, 2007 02:16 amI am feeling a bit better about my paper. I haven't started actually writing it, or typing it out. I have, however, made progress. I have a pretty solid outline-ish type thing written up to guide me along. I pretty much know what I want to do and how to accomplish it. It's just the matter of putting in a bunch of details and trying to remember what info came from what sources and all that jazz. I'm betting I'll be just randomly assigning some facts to random sources (shh... don't tell my professor). It's very wrong to do and not the way of a true academic. It is, nevertheless, the way of Lazy Teresa.
I may just survive this yet! If I were a religious woman, I'd be praying right now (interestingly enough, this paper is about women and religion--huh).

The internet is stealing my soul!
May. 9th, 2007 03:47 pmI am having the hardest time not spending forever on facebook. And writing my last paper of the semester~! I already bumped teh font up to 13.5. I have a headache. And I just want to go play Zelda. Le Sigh.
Summer is almost here and I can't hardly wait.
I might actually return from the brink of insanity!

I love the warm weather
May. 2nd, 2007 05:21 pmEspecially when driving around the neighborhood near campus and all the young gentlemen who spend their time not going to class and playing frisbee and going to the gym decide it's too damn hot to wear their shirts. Mmm.
Although I could do without the girls in the library who wear crotch-length shorts. Ish.
And I would rather not be inside right now. Boo.
I am excited about the rerelease of My So Called Life on dvd. Woot!
Also, all I have left of the school year is some reading, three summaries of those readings, one 2-3 page paper, and a final. Sounds like a lot for one week left, eh? But IT's all downhill from here baby!

I'm going to interview my grandma today
Apr. 19th, 2007 09:18 amWe have to do oral histories for my local history class. These are due on Tuesday. Since I work tomorrow and will be out of town all weekend and work on Monday, I figured I would do my interviews today. I'm actually really worried. Mostly because my grandma is a scary woman. I am also interviewing Andrew's dad, and I was much less ascared of Papa Cruze than I was of my own blood relation. Ugh. I don't really know what I'm going to ask yet either I suppose I ought to figure that out, huh?
Well, I guess I should go to class or something now. School year is almost done! Whoop whoop!

And am trying to write a paper on particularism and objectivity in the historical profession. Sigh. So far I've got:

That's it. Sigh. I'd like to be done with it by 4:00. It's about 3:00 now. But I have so much to do otherwise--fuck around on facebook, peruse fighters' myspaces, update my journal, eat Quaker Rice Cakes, drink Diet Coke, do my hair, google myself, check up on pro wrestling news, etc. So it's easy to see why I have such difficulty focusing on a stupid fucking paper.

Apr. 4th, 2007 05:35 pmI have been awake for only 4 1/2 hours today, but I feel very productive. I have, thus far, written an awful paper about anthropology, "thick description," and historiography. I made one comment on my online discussion for class thereby guaranteeing that I won't get a zero for online participation. I bought snacks for my historiography class. I made French toast and a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. I went to Target where I learned that no, they cannot give me registry cards to include in bridal shower invites, I bought some delicious Diet Coke (I was very frustrated to see that they were out of Fresca. Damn you Fresca drinkers!), I bought bridal shower invites, and finally bought a new plunger.
I also went to the cutest boy at Target to get checked out. And not checked out in a "Hey, this girl is kind of cute way." Checked out in, "Can I see your ID with that check, please?" And I know what that ass was thinking. "Diet Coke. Bridal shower invites. Plunger... she must have had a large poo that clogged her toilet."
I suppose I should go to class now and catch up on some of my reading or something. Or maybe just fill out some shower invites. Sigh.
Tonight I think I'm gonna try to finish my review of The Ultimate Fighter 3: Episode 1. Or maybe even my much anticipated Oscar dress review.

My torrent of The Ultimate Fighter 3 finished up! Now if I would just finish my 2 ten-page book reviews that are due Thursday morning, everything would be coming up roses. I'm not doing too badly though. I'm almost done reading one of the books. Almost done meaning: I have 3/4 left of the book. Oh dear.
The Fertittas bought PRIDE! Go Zuffa! This is big news in the world of mma. Damn. I'm hoping to see Fedor vs. Sylvia. That'd rock to see big Tim get knocked the fuck out.
Why do I do this to myself?
Dad gets surgery in half an hour. Hope everything goes okay. And I hope I don't fail out of school.
I suppose I should go read some more. Yikes.

Mar. 12th, 2007 03:13 pmHonestly. I just had a week off of school. And I'm doing all my homework TODAY that is due TODAY and tomorrow morning. Oh well. I only have about 50 or so more pages to read and 9 pages to write. Blech. I read about 200 this morning. I must stop procrastinating.
On the plus side, so far I have successfully torrented 13.6% of the Ultimate Fighter Season 3. YAY~!

Writer's block sucks
Feb. 21st, 2007 03:06 pmUsually when I need to write a paper, I have some sort of idea what I want to say. I am then able to pull a bunch of bullshit out of nowhere to whip together a paper with relative ease. Today, however, I have nothing. I dont' have a thesis statement. I don't know what I want to write about. I only need two pages. But when you have absolutely nothing, it's awfully difficult to write for two pages. Lucky for me, I have been able to squeak out an introduction (don't ask me how I did it without a thesis, but I did), so I just need to bullshit some other ideas. Arrgh. No fears, it's only due tonight. I need to have this written by 4 so I can get on the road and to school.
I read somewhere recently that the key to grad school is to put together consistenly mediocre work. They are SO right.
