Just two more days, finals will be over, and Christmas break will begin. This if Finals Week and I plan to obliterate them all and make all A’s. ….who am I kidding, at least I hope I do. In the mean time, watch this video from a new show called The Sing Off, this was one of my favorite performances by the group NOTA.

I finished the book I checked out yesterday!

I started reading around 7:30 PM yesterday and finished at exactly 12:00 PM today. 15 and 1/2 hours is by far the fastest I have read any book in my life. I had read most of the Twilight books within a day’s time, but I read this one in less than a day! I know it was much shorter than Twilight books, but these chapters were very very long and it was not a “story” it was REAL information about history, yet bored I was not.

So go me! Time to do that report though…which now is what I’m dreading. I’m feeling motivated though, and quite frankly I just want to get it all over with so I can study for my French final exam and do my make up work for AP Psych. Continue Reading»

I guess it’s safe to say that I’m totally inconsistent when it comes to being responsible, or should I say “academically responsible,” for a lack of better terms. Oh blimey! This time last school year I wrote this blog, and it is beyond ironic that it was about doing a big research paper in like a day as a major end of the semester project, much like this dreadful book project I’ve been rambling about.

I am consistent though, with always being last minute (although this time it’s not exactly my fault) and rushing to get something done dreading the possibility if I don’t finish.

I got a book today. I will be reading it until the sun comes up, and I will be up again until the sun comes up doing the “scholarly report.” Kill me now and on my grave stone engrave the words “A Trier” because gosh darn it I do try…yet I always come up short. Continue Reading»

Update 12/11/09 : Went to the library yesterday….found a book to read. Go to the lady to check out a book and I didn’t have my wallet! That meant no Library card, which also meant no book, which also means I’m screwed even more. So yeah…. Also, yesterday, I totally bombed a test. I dread knowing the grade I got…my semester is ending horribly.

I’m a little annoyed. Remember the book project I mentioned here? Well I started on like Tuesday last week reading a book, and then I switched my book because it was beyond boring. The new one I started reading: “American Nightmare: The History of Jim Crow” was really good and I’ve been reading it every chance I get. Today in class, I find out that the book I’m reading is not sufficient because we’ve yet to cover the topic I’m reading about!

Are you freaking kidding me?!

The teacher was never clear stating that the topic is something we’ve covered, he simply said “Pick a topic and/or event out of your textbook.” So that’s what I did.

Long story short, the assignment is due Monday. So that means I have to find a book, read it and do the “scholarly report” which, I might add is not your typical book report. Teachers really annoy me sometimes. So the rest of this week and the weekend, I’ll be consumed into whatever book I find, which sucks. Continue Reading»
