Reading Animal Farm, writing a poem for extra credit, and outlining my novel...

I have discovered that writing a novel.... takes a lot of writing.

I'm happy you came to this realization.



Prayers that you don't die from writing.

Writing a book report on [i]Goodbye, Mr. Chips[/i]. Pray for me.

[Chrysophylax]

Oh Man! I loved Goodbye Mr. Chips! I read that book in one day. The book report did take longer, though! Wow, you people seem to be reading all the same books for school that I read in high school!

Hey, thanks for the encouragement AnneLine! The group project will come out alright I think, but there is one girl who has not helped at all and never even came to any of our meetings. I didn't get any work done today, though because I was cleaning EVERYTHING. Although, I must say it is actually rather exhilarating to look at a really clean room! I took pictures to compare before and after because it was so bad!

[AnneLine]

Chrys, I'm glad I was of help! It is SO FRUSTRATING when someone won't carry their weight!!!!! I remember one 'group' project in grad school (GRAD SCHOOL!!!!) where I had to work with one other GRAD student (sheesh, one should know how to work in a pair by that point!!!) and she not only didn't know what she was talking about, she literally put her leg up on the teacher's desk the whole time she was talking, like a stork!!!! We got a 'b' on the project (small wonder!) but the teacher gave everyone in the class the option of re-doing the project for the missing credit. I ws all for it... she didn't want to be bothered! Said a "B" was fine by her!!! I finally went to the teacher and asked as, uh, delicately as I could if one of us wanted to do the makeup work, could we at least get uh, half the upgrade? She looked at me as if I had landed from another planet, and said, only ONE of you wants to make the changes? Uh, yes.... and she shook her head, glanced at the other student (who was the one who mucked up....) and said that of COURSE the 'remaining student' could turn in a revision for additional credit. I did get the "A"... she graduated that semester, and I don't have a clue what her GPA was.... Mind-boggling!

I LOVED Mr. Chips!!!!!!! Lost Horizon (also by James Hilton) is good, too......

Spending time doing some cleanup myself today, but having to pace myself because I have been REALLY sick this last week. One step at a time.....

Back to work...

[Chrysophylax]

I am Freaking Out! I thought I would have all this weekend to do homework, but forgot that I had something big going on at home Today, which I spent all day Saturday preparing for. So now, here I am, very tired but resigned to my fate. Oh, and I even forgot about one of the huge things I have due tomorrow! I have my schedule for the work to do this week laid out in sticky notes on my desktop. Here's what it looks like:

[i]Tonight:

I LOVED ANIMAL FARM.

[Chrysophylax]

I just gave blood! Now it is time for homework...

[AnneLine]

Keep at it -- you're all doing WONDERFULLY!!!! FCC, it is, uh, disturbing, to hear you say you LOVED animal farm with that... piece of equipment in your avatar! !!!!!

[Chrysophylax]

UAGH! My homework is killing me!!!

I am so dying at the moment. However, I am at least kinda getting it together and might be able to survive some of the stuff tomorrow.

Say a prayer! Pretty please..

[Chrysophylax]

It's finally finished.

[AnneLine]

Good for you! Fog videos in another thread as a reward for mission accomplished!!!!

Got to get some housework done (would rather do homework!) and then some writing done for a work-related project. I'm resisting getting started, but you are a good influence on me!

[TheresaThoma]

Have to get lab stuff together here this week. Finish up the Physics HW due tomorrow that I majorly procrastinated on. Plus a bunch of apps. My degree plan An astronomy project due Friday. Plus some other stuff I am forgetting about.
