today i put bullshit aside and hammered out a 9-page research paper about time, fate, and star imagery in romeo and juliet. writing about shakespeare, guys, is weird. and difficult. i don’t know how to do something that has not been done before when it comes to shakespeare.
but the real thing here is, is this gruesome writing process i have now. i noticed there’s a way i do things...
some times i am a straight up indignant little child about my time, actually, how little of it is actually MINE.
i just brood over classes i never wanted to take, and alarm clocks, and making lattes all afternoon. it’s so much time i throw away, and it just seems to no end, to no ultimate product.
it gets to the point of outright despair. and i know that it’s childish, which is what...

last night my roommates and i started a workout routine and actually had to discuss where beer and gin fit into our new fit lives, knowing we can’t give it up, but deciding how to compensate.
disappointing things about today:
1. glenn beck has a children’s book out. this makes me hope children are as intuitive to evil and, well, blatant stupidity as they’re credited. nausea actually took me over when i saw the headline. 2. i had to watch a commercial on the news before i could see the photos of the day. 3. the GEO is maybe going to strike next week, which means no class,...

someone, QUICK, make a blog. or, or, or a facebook page. about plants. and meitosis. so that i will STUDY. not just watch youtube videos of thumbelina.
PLEASE. THIS IS URGENT. AND REAL.
