"Only minutes ago I was reveling in the madness of my extreme procrasticnation. Some might argue that I still am reveling in that madness as I am sitting at Perry's Pizza writing this update instead of my paper. I would disagree, and here's why. Before I was afraid. Afraid of the week ahead of me. 2 rough drafts and 3 final drafts due. That's what gave me the fear. But since then I've adopted a new attitude. I see this onslaught of papers and the terrible week as a challenge. A challenge that I will rise to. Some might think that the best thing to do would be to get started right away and quit putting it off. This is wrong. I'm smart enough to recognize that you can't go into something like this unprepared. No not at all. So I've decided I must do the following. #1. Quit shaving. #2. Build a writing fort. Something tells me everything's going to be just fine. "

For A Good Time

time 10:28 pm feeling strangely, good reading The Rascals from Haskell's Gym, haha wearing pj's music the CHICAGO CD! ready for gettin' my car back! next bedtime

Whew! Nothin' like getting in a car accident to start the week off right! Man! I'm glad I did that! I feel so...refreshed, invigorated even! I highly recommend it.

HAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT. Like I'm really happy about it. BUT whatever, worse things have happened. You've got to Keep It In Perspective. Yes folks, what you read is truth, I have shattered my good driving record...I managed to get hit by this guy on the way to gymnastics today, definitely my own stupid bad driving that did it BUT let's not dwell on the past shall we?! Let's just say we're getting what we can fixed, everyone is OKAY which is what MATTERS and I have the best friends, servicepeople, sweetheart, and family in the world! THANK YOU (you know who you are).

Speaking of amazing people, I told Diana I had to sign off to 'get some work done' and what am I doing? Updating. Pathetic, isn't it? If it's not one thing it's another. But, you can't win 'em all. I'll just have to fake my way through this test tomorrow.

Well I don't have much to say anyway, just thought a freakin' car accident was a monumental moment in my life. Or something. Definitely a BAD thing but WCYD (What Can You Do). Other than that, I've had a really good day! We had another bogus 'graphic design field trip' that cost me 12 bucks!, and showed our projects in GD2, but somehow it was all fun. Stacy is back from Mono-land so that is part of it, we love Sunshine Stacy. Of course in class I didn't get any studying done, because Jeff demanded that I be entertaining...so I quizzed him and 'rent-a-friend' Stacy about sports, thus negating my possible study time. OH WELL! You see, I'm just trying to help everyone out.

So yeah, thank heavens for spring break next week. We are needing that big time! And somehow, somehow I will get home. I need a helicopter! OH WAIT that could be a REALLY bad accident...

Alright, I'm out. Note to self: avoid car accidents. Also fake 'field trips' that'll charge you to see the 'science museum' but really you'll just see the basement.
