......words, that is


What's that? I should be using my creative writing abilities to finish the rough draft of my tech report?



Nah.



So yeah, I broke 100,000 words today It was almost right at the end of a section/chapter, which would have been freaking epic, but I'll take it as it is. I'm at a fairly awesome part right now, which leads into a sort of series of awesome parts that I've really been looking forward to writing. So if I survive until 12:50pm on Friday I'll be home free to write as much as I jolly well please... of course by that time I'll probably never want to write another word again.

I don't recall ever procrastinating this severely in my entire life. Last Friday some guy in my tech writing class asked me if I'd started the rough draft (which is due this Friday) and he was all appalled when I said no. I'm just glad nobody asked me today

Although by this time I'm proud to announce that I have 3 whole pages done!

... out of the 10 that are required

You can probably guess that I've spent most of my procrastinating time on Memebase... it's great procrastinating material

Other procrastination activities include reading Bigfoot sighting reports and watching a male blackbird do some sort of weird mating dance in the plumb tree in our front yard...

I also started a new drawing (or at least practiced what's going to be a new drawing) without meaning to... hopefully I'll be able to work on it over the weekend.

The lucky thing is that I only have one class tomorrow and then I'm getting my neck ultrasounded (spell check just yelled at me) by my DMS friend so I'll be able to just come home and work feverishly on my paper for the rest of the afternoon. Considering I got those three pages done in like 2 hours, including a couple of brief visits to Facebook, dA, and Memebase, I think I made some good progress. And then my morning class is cancelled on Friday, so if I really "dig deep" as Shaun T always says I should be able to get a respectable 10 or 11 pages done.

This is all theoretical, mind you.

It's not going to help that all the season finales of my favorite shows are on tonight and tomorrow, either. I'm pretty sure all the producers of them got together and said "Let's. Kill. Everyone." Because that's pretty much what's happening

On a brighter note, I get to take my first real art class over the summer Because at the moment I have 17 credits lined up for next fall term, which is kind of a lot, especially since I'll be involved with volleyball and two of those classes are 4 credits. So, I can knock 3 off by taking a humanities course over the summer, and lo and behold art falls under the humanities category. But, rather than spend $600 taking it online from my actual school, I can dual-enroll at the community college which is like 3 minutes from my house and it will be a heckuva lot cheaper. Then the credits will just transfer The class is a watercolor class, actually. One of my friends took a drawing class from the same professor and she loved it, so I'm really looking forward to it. It's 4 hours twice a week though, which is kinda ridiculous for a 3 credit class... my current twice-a-week-3-credit class is only an hour and twenty minutes. But it should be fun so I'm sure the time will go fast.

So I was watching Master and Commander the other night (love that movie, love Russel Crowe ) and got to thinking that it's a wonder any of those people ever survived with how primitive their medical practices were. Getting your arm amputated with a cleaver? No thanks. Replacing a fragment of your skull with a coin? No thanks. Having someone hold up a mirror so you can remove a bullet from your own stomach? No thanks. Then we were in bio lab last night dissecting pig eyeballs and I felt like I was in the movie because my scalpel was super dull and my partner and I were kinda butchering our eye. 'Twas fairly nasty.

But yeah, I'd forgotten how much I liked that movie




The events of the day have reduced my brain to the consistency of applesauce....
