Dear School,

Please stop piling up a million assignments due all on the same day.

No love,
Me!

... so I realize that it's only a possibility that Mid might be flying up, and that May is a good five months away, but I'm already thinking of possible things to do. :D

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." -- William Faulkner

PS: I'm free!

I AM TOTALLY FREE AS OF 10 AM TOMORROW. And as of tomorrow my countdown is down to the single digits! This is very exciting I'm telling you!

After my exam tomorrow I plan on stopping by to pick up Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I'm looking forward to reading a book that isn't school related, seriously.

Three more days until I'm free. It cannot come fast enough, seriously. I'm also not looking forward to spending my birthday alone in a store for eight hours. NOT AT ALL. I'm secretly hoping my boss will ask if I want to switch days

Oh, Criminal Minds, how I love you.

These are the things that are on my schedule until the 16th:
- Essay/final project due for crisis interventions on the 9th
- Final exam for Crisis Interventions on the 11th at 8 am
- Final exam for Political Science at 8 am, plus final project due for Qualitative Research Methods due before 1 pm on December 14th
- Art History final exam on the 16th

I'm almost finished the essay for the 9th, and I'll be making the video for it on Sunday so I'll be able to check that off. I plan on starting and getting a big chunk done on my Qualitative Research Methods project on Sunday and Monday, maybe get it finished by Wednesday. Wednesday happens to be the last day of classes, so I'll have all of Wednesday night and Thursday to study for my exam on Friday.

I hate how they're so close together

... how is it that I've been using Microsoft Office 2007 for a few months now and I've only just discovered that it has an option that will help me with getting the right in-text citations correct? And that it'll make my works cited for me? I'm such a geek, because I found that out and went "How cool is that?"

Seriously, thank you for making my life that much easier!

I leave with a quote, because I'm a dork and love the ones they use at the end of Criminal Minds:
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

This is probably one of my favorite MLIA posts:

Today, I was going to my friend's house, and we were in the car with her step-father. My mom called my cellphone to ask where I was, and I told her I was in a car. She asked who I was with, and I replied 'Some guy who offered me candy and a good time.'
From the front seat, my friend's step dad yelled, "I told you to shut up back there! Don't make me tie you up!"
Best step-dad ever. MLIA
