LOVE ESSAYS!!!!

Alright since I eat so much while I write essays. (Snacks ya know!) And I'm working on my essay right now I have come up with a brilliant way to write. Ok so here goes
1) your writing and your at a stand still so you..
2) lay down on the floor and start doing some situps or pushups or pullups or SOMETHING
3) you cant stop til you work out what your going to do next with this essay
4) figure it out and get back on the computer
I think this is going to help me a ton so far its been good and I don't feel so bad for snacking the whole time .. or as bad lol :) So yeah sorry about this tangent that actually has nothing to do with my actual essay! :P

Our 2 Min Hate

So I heard the other day that during a campaign gathering the candidate mentioned bombing Iran and the crowd cheered. That made me think back to the 2 minute hate scene in 1984. It made me a little sick. We think our society is so different but it seems like Orwell's predictions aren't as far off as they may seem.

Vocab

My dad & lil bro are watching a gun show, I don't know what it actually is but its talking about guns and they used the word adventagious and College English you jumped into my mind. This would be a good vocab word!! Also I was at pratice today and I used a metaphore that related to essay writing it made me laugh a little bit but also made me sad I mean what kind of lame perso thinks of essays while GG is talking about our ending stunt serries! I just dont know I guess I do! :)

Working- Citation

Can the citation given to me from a database be trusted? I hope so. That would make my life a lot easier.

Things Just Got Real....and It's Not Even 2 AM Yet

WOW so I just realized that the FINAL DRAFT of the argument essay is due Tuesday. I thought it was the 2nd DRAFT, as in we had one more draft yet to do. Nope, I actually have to be DONE, Finished, Finite, there is no "Da Capo" this is "Fine". I am a bit taken aback right now.

Yoga en la manana?

So i have decided that since we all stressed and pissy at the moment, Stariha should start a morning yoga thing once a week in the morning...it would be great because: 1) yoga is fun 2) yoga is relaxing 3) uh yes, we just should...also i was thinking about track the other day and how we always used to do yoga with Stariha and how relaxingly awesome it was! so, yes...that's my idea for the week.
Happy (almost) 2012!

Break... Whatever that Means

Well there's one more week of break and I have no homework. Actually let me rephrase that- I haven't made any progress on any College English homework which is the only class I have homework in. That sounds good and dandy if you didn't know that there are 4 different assignments in that class to finish in this next week (which I'm sure you are all aware of). Is anyone else having a hard time kicking their butt into gear? I have tried multiple times to get stuff done but I just can't focus! Part of me thinks "Oh it's just break" but when I look at it I was having the same problem before break. I can't write anymore, I just can't elaborate on topics, I'm stuck. I had a hard time doing that in the first essay and wasn't surprised when I got a lower grade than I'd like. With the argument essays I couldn't think of what to say and wasn't surprised at all when she told me I need to develop my ideas further. I think I'm just burned out. I hate to say that but I really think it's the case. I'm not talking Senioritis because I'm honestly trying to work but my mind has just quit. It sucks. I want to good I really do I'm just having a hard time putting my thoughts together and can't seem to think clearly! A break would be good but I am on "break" and clearly it's no break between friends, family, and homework demanding my attention. I need to be completely isolated for a week with no one and nothing. Then I may be ready to return to my usual functioning self. One more thought- when the heck am I suppose to have time to fill out scholarships?? Sorry for that rant.
