This weekend went by pretty quickly.

I got soooooo much done this weekend! I narrowed down my list of about 16 things of homework to just three! And that's for the entire WEEK. I am so pumped.

I also cleaned a lot in my room. I dusted and organized my desk, hutch, and bookshelf. I cleaned the fridge (wiped it out and everything), Erin and I consolidated food items and they are much more organized, vacuumed, and hung up lights from our ceiling. They are pretty fabulous. I enjoy sitting in the room with the main light off and just the Christmas Halloween shamrock holiday lights on. They are pretty festive, and there is a sweet, ambience/mood lighting thing going on.

I also, this afternoon, along with Erin and Clare, T.P.ed Becca's room. She was gone for the weekend, and we took advantage of her time away. I made a big toilet paper bow and tacked it to her door. It was a pretty well fashioned bow, if I do say so myself.

And today Erin and I added a new member to our room: Harriet! She is an African Dwarf Frog. I would take a picture, but the battery in my camera is dead, and I am not entirely sure where the charger is. And yes, I have a MacBook and I could use the built in camera, but I am somewhat leery of holding a heavy glass container full of water over my laptop, moving it around to get the best angle while Harriet will probably be swimming all over the place. No thank you.

Oh yes, we also added Jetur to our room, and I will take a picture of him. Jamin named him, by the way.





Two of the flowers are stuck together (oooh, you can see the shamrock lights in the background!). I only have it because Jamin thought it was cool. I'm pretty sure it'll be dead in a week or two. But I did get some pretty pink Gerbera daisies in addition to Jetur, and they look very stylish on my desk in my sweet vase. I'm liking the changes we made to our room this weekend.

And now I remember...

...why I'd rather work in my room.


I did well, I got three things done. Then I had to go back to my room because I'd forgotten my keys, and when I get off of work at 2 am, Muffitt will be locked, and I'd like to get in (I also brought back some Chex Mix and Reeses to snack on for the next four hours. It was necessary.).

I try to do my homework in the order that it's due. I can't do one of my assignments for Monday yet, because I need to borrow notes from Clare. No biggie, it's not going to take that long to write. So I went to the next thing on my list. Creative writing. I pulled out my creative writing notebook to see which stories I need to read for Monday, and realized it's the wrong notebook. I have to do three things for creative writing, but I have to read the stories before I can do the other two assignments. And I can't do the first one because I brought the wrong notebook. And I can't go back to my room and get it, because now I'm working.


Why didn't I notice in the two hours I was here before I was working?!
Augh!

I'd rather be in Muffitt 412...

....but I have reached a point where I can no longer do homework in my room. There are too many other things to do, people around, pie in the fridge (which I have already mostly devoured), beds to take naps in...


Hellooooooo library.




And here I am, sitting in the library, blogging.

It's time to turn off the wireless.

I thought...

...that I was getting all caught up on homework, until I realized today that I have four things to do for creative writing tomorrow, not one.

That was a sad, sad moment.

Define: Productive

I realized a few days ago that all my homework for the week is due Mondays and Tuesdays, and then I have one tiny assignment on Fridays. Thus, after I finish my Tuesday homework on Tuesday, I think to myself, "Now I have the rest of the week to do nothing (because I can do the Friday assignment in like 10 minutes, tops)!"

Which is true, but it makes Sunday-Tuesday not so fun.

Which is why I am doing my Tuesday homework (drumroll, please) right now!!




Okay, so that's probably not a big deal to most people, but I can't stop thinking about how much free time I will have if I do my homework more than a few hours before it's due! The possibilities are endless! ...ish.


Also, Erin and I cleaned our room the other day, and it's still clean, and you have no idea how crazy that is.


Oh! And I sewed the hole in Jamin's pants today, with my sewing machine! I felt super sweet.
I told my grandma that Becca and I were interested in quilting, and she bought me a sewing machine. This is the first time I've gotten to put it to use.




Well, actually, that's not true. I made Erin's scary My Little Pony toy a blanket during J-Term. It looks all pink and cute and harmless, but trust me, it's creepy.

And I just realized, why the heck is Pinkie Pie crawling on her knees? She's a pony! Pony knees don't even bend that way!

Define: Headache

My greek exam is on Wednesday.

T minus 8 minutes til bed...

I am getting ahead on some of the weekly articles we have to do for one of my classes. We turn one in tomorrow (well, I guess it's today now...), and I've got the next two weeks done already. And I've got my biology article done for next week. If only these were the big projects instead of the busy work...

I think I am finally getting the hang of Mondays. I just have to keep myself busy during the 12:00-2:00 am shift, and I'm alright. Last week I didn't come in with homework, and I almost didn't make it. Maybe by next Monday I'll be done with my articles for the semester! That would be really exciting.


I wish it would stop being cold. I'm ready for summer already.

Define: Unfair

Why do teachers assign group projects? They know the workload is going to be unfair, right? They were students once, don't they remember?

I got stuck with putting together the powerpoint and bibliography for our presentation tomorrow, and I'm scared. Allison and I did what we were supposed to, but no one else did. One kid hasn't even been to any of our group meetings. No one has heard anything from him about it. And I am NOT staying up until 2 in the morning waiting for people to e-mail me their slides. I told everyone to have it to me today by 3:30. I have other things to do, and it's not fair for me to have to wait around for their stuff. I'm afraid that this is going to cause a problem in the morning if someone did send me their stuff at 3 am, but is that really my responsibility? I gave them a deadline. Our class is at 7:45, the library won't even be open yet for me to combine the slides before class.

I'm even more scared about the written part; I'm not sure if anyone besides Allison and I will even do it at this point.



And naturally we have to present first.

Argh.

I really hate this book.
