Day 957---Technically 958

Late post, folks. Been writing my Conservation Biology paper that's due TOMORROW...and I only started it tonight. Meh, it's only 1000 words, so it's kinda easy. That, and it's a review paper, which means I read an article, summarize it, then use 5 other articles to support/contradict it. Simple. I'll work on it tomorrow after Psychology.

I hope Psych's canceled again.

So far, I'm 20% done with the paper (really, it's more 25%, but I'm hoping to go over the 1k minimum), which isn't shabby for 3 hours of research and 1 hour of writing/dicking around. I'll have about 4 hours to get the rest of it done, so if I can write 250 words an hour, I'll have free time somewhere in there. Oh, and 10-15 sentences have to be about the other articles, which isn't a big deal at all. Yay for procrastination.

A note about this whole situation: I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! I work best under extreme time constraints, which is terrible, but true. I was actually banking on an all-nighter tonight, but I got lucky with how easy this is turning out to be. To anyone who is in college, or is planning on going to college, please do yourselves a favor and get papers done early. It blows to have to do them quickly.

Anyway, time for sleep.

Day 952

So, Day 952 is going fairly well. Started my day off with a nice breakfast of Maple and Brown Sugar Quaker oatmeal (yum!), and watching a couple episodes of Bones before I did my hair. I'm going to straighten up my room a little before going to school (though it's just for a lunch and a Psychology study), then I'm off to the Copper Country Humane Society for APO service hours.

I love my Big Brother, Gwen, for that, btw. She's pretty freakin' awesome because she'd rather play with the cats than walk the dogs. I love some of the cats at the Humane Society, and wish I could take them home so I could live with them, but, alas, no such luck.

Oh, also, Tech's 11th Annual Drag Show is tonight! So excited, because I think my Master will be wearing makeup for it...which is always kinda sexy. Okay, distracted. Pardon my ADD.

ANYWAY! I ordered a book a while back, called "Run Your Butt Off", which is basically an exercise book that takes one from their computer chair to running (they advertise it as a 12 week program, but the authors stated in the book that one should take as much time as needed at each stage in order to get comfortable with their abilities). I'm on Stage 1, which is 30 minutes of walking 4 days a week. Not that I don't do that already. So, yes, my fat ass is gonna get off this chair now and get ready for going out and about. Au revoir!
