Fuck.

Sociology final tomorrow.  Freaking out.

But I tested into a lifeguard class.  Boy, am I sore.


Monday, November 29, 2010

Oh, the frailties of life.

It's finals season.  Which directly follows Thanksgiving break for unknown, but cruel, reasons.

To prepare for my eventual preperation for finals, I did the seemingly impossible:
I gave my friend control of my facebook, and she changed my password.  I will learn what that password is in ten days.

Agenda for tonight ---
English paper.
English powerpoint.
English note cards.
Blue test book.
SPR paper.
SPR slip.
SPR certificate.

Agenda for tomorrow ---
Study for spanish.
Study for sociology.
Test for life guard cass.
Work on psychology presentation.
Glee.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

I have read eight of these titles in their entirety.  Dan pointed out that most people have not read more than six of these books, which when compared to my number I am a little disappointed because I do read a lot.  In fact, I was a little irked that the Harry Potter series was lumped as one book.  I'd like credit for reading all of them in one and a half months, thank you very much ;]  The books that I haven't actually completed don't surprise me at all.  I usually only finish a book the first time through if it's for class.  Other wise I go back and forth through books.

How many, and which, books have you read?  Do you think this list is a fair representation of how much you have read?


Oh, goodness.

I fail at this updating regularly thing.

I mean it this time, though :]

What's up, Xanga?
