Hope everything turns out well, sis...

I have chicken cooking! Yay chicken! Chicken is the bomb!

Argh, I don't want to study anymore!

Yay on the passport, though, Aika!

*back to reading*

~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I think I'm more easily distracted during this period than just about any other.

But I'll make it through, and then Aika comes to visit!

Yay!

I'm going to have chinese food today! Woot!

Sorry, I'm excited. I haven't eaten out in more than a month.

Why in Eru's name am I still awake?

Oh, and BTW, I just downloaded pidgin. It's cool.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's an IM program that combines all your IM accounts into one nifty program where you don't have to have a bazillion things open at once. Very, very nice.

~~~~~~~~~

*has cookie*

I like cookies.

I think I'm going to go read for a few hours, though.

See ya later!

~~~~~~~~~~

Ooh! I have a reply to make in Not for Arda.

*will go do that, then return to reading her trashy, but entertaining, historical romance novel*

*blinks*

Wow, I slept like all day yesterday.

I feel better now, though.

Argh, paper due tomorrow, and like usual, I've procrastinated until the last minute. Well, maybe if my professors would stop rewarding me with really good grades for doing it this way, I'd actually take my time and start writing weeks in advance. But as this seems to work...

~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm off to the library. Wish me luck!

~~~~~~~~~

I. Do. Not. Want. To. Write. This. Paper.

It's too shiny and pretty outside to be thinking of Orangeism in Diaspora and its effects on the Home Rule Movement of 1885-1915. *dies*

~~~~~~~~~~

Nope, no all-nighter yet, anyway, although it may happen.

I'm in Northern Ireland - on GMT, and it's 5:45ish in the afternoon here, I've been working on it since about 7:00am this morning, and I've still got a couple of articles to read before I can really get started.

So it'll probably be close to an all-nighter, but I can always hope.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep, I've been here on and off all day, although there hasn't been much posting.

Although I will keep the RP posting up. I'm having a lot of fun in Not For Arda, and it's about to get quite interesting...

Must go back to reading! I'll be back in five pages...(yes, that's the way I get through. )

~~~~~~~~~~

Argh. This paper is not moving.

I think I really am going to be up all night.

Ah well, I'll be checking in here every once in a while (looking hopefully for RP posts to ease my mind and have a little bit of fun with ).

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's only 1. Don't be stealing my hours.

~~~~~~~~~~~

551/2500 words...I give myself a mini-break every 500, so see you all again around 1000 words...

*goes back to writing*

~~~~~~~~~~

1034/2500 words.

I'm going to die of exhaustion, I think.

~~~~~~~~~

1553/2500!

I know it's my fault, but I just can't seem to get motivated before the last possible minute. And it is now most certainly the last possible minute. It's 4:00am and this is due at noon. Today. I'm more than halfway done, and I just have to write one more section and then my conclusion (and I left the easiest section for last), so I'll make it, but god I'm tired.

At least tomorrow's Friday and I don't have any classes.

~~~~~~~~~

Maybe the cheering will keep me awake.

My parents just had an EARTHQUAKE!!!! In INDIANA!!!! And it was a big one!

Everything's okay and no damage at home, though.

Cats...

I miss my cats...

They're all back in the USA, 5000 miles away from me...

This is my baby-doll, Talley, named after a character in CJ Cherryh's Downbelow Station, if anyone has read it. :

 ~~~~~~~~

Argh...cannot...escape...firefly...



No, I don't hate it. I'm just not impressed. 

~~~~~~~~
There are many, many terms for 'procrastination.' This board is one of the best places to use all your different versions of it. 

God knows I do.

Hey, if you're around London in October (hopefully you can come to my party!) maybe I could fly back to London with you? I'd love to see the city and haven't had the chance.
~~~~~~~~~
[To Aika, re: the trip she's going to be taking to see me:]

Yes, just a little more than a month! 

We'll have to plan what we're going to do. 



 

 Morning Klatt. Sleep is for the weak.

~~~~~~~~

God, I meant to lay down for an hour or two and take a nap...

Six hours later...

~~~~~~~~

I was up so late last night. I can't believe I fell asleep around ten and slept until 4:30pm.

*dies*

~~~~~~~

Yeah, luckily I only have class on Tuesday and Wednesday...

Studying and research in between, but I can do that on my own schedule.

~~~~~~~
I remember making persuasive speeches - of course, I always thought they were quite enjoyable. I loved making people angry at me. Is this a speech class, Hector, or a debate class? 

I took both and majorly enjoyed both of them. 

This year is wrapping quickly to an end. In five weeks or so, I'll be heading back to the States and have to get started on my Masters' Thesis. I'm actually looking forward to it - maybe because I don't quite understand yet how much work it's going to be!

~~~~~~~

My Spanish teacher was hyped up on speed.

Or at least, that's how she acted.

She frightened me sometimes. 

~~~~~~~~

I think I'll be quite happy to stay in the dark about that a bit longer. 

*is doing her thesis on the Orange Order in the USA, and their connection with the Ku Klux Klan*

~~~~~~~~

Sis:What, the whole:

Girls=humanities
Boys=maths and sciences 

assumption?

Bah. Has nothing to do with that. I just don't like math. 

katya: 

I'm a bit of an overachiever. Don't like B's.  So I always push myself like crazy and sometimes I end up getting freaked out when I can't do as well as I like.

~~~~~~~~~

Nah, I had a cruel, awful teacher sabotage my math skills for me. 

Anyway, I'm quite happy with Poli Sci. It's fun.

~~~~~~~~~

I want to be asleep right now.

But I can't.
