Finals experience Winter 2013

Holy moley... I got no sleep last week. Lol. I had so many papers and all sorts of things to do that I was so lazy and waited till the last minute for. It was kind of a terrible idea and I don't really recommend it, but I happen to work best when it is last minute and rushed and I'm under a lot of pressure. When it seems damn near impossible to get done, thats when I will start doing it!

And that pretty much works for me but it feels like crap when its happening because its like "ohhh my god I have to rush idk what to write about I'm not sure what to do, I can't stay awake." Bleehhhh type of nonsense. Once I finish all of that though, I feel like I just fought a dragon and like I am the smartest human being on earth.

Now I'm just going to brag a bit about the classes I took, because its not like these are blow off classes that are automatic A's these are quite difficult. And I'm not like a straight A student, but I'm a good student and like I said these are tough classes. I'm an English Major, so I had pretty much all English classes, so it was a lot of writing.

I took a tv writing class where you had to write an entire 60-page episode of a show you developed with a group whose idea you liked. I also had to write a short film, which wasn't quite as hard but it was still a little difficult. It ended up being 5 and a half-ish pages.

I also took a class where we analyzed the show the Wire. That was pretty cool. If you were to watch any episode with me I could probably analyze all of the characters and the entire season, as well as major themes as a whole.

The most impressive sounding thing that I've done is my Chaucer class. I had a 12 page term paper along with 4 other 3-4 page papers that I finished right before the final exam. Chaucer is not an easy person to read, but we also had to read it in Middle English and I did it and understood it! You have no idea how smart that makes me feel. It isn't really that difficult, its basically English in a German accent, but still it is something that I did and it happened lol.

So yeah like I said waiting till the last minute and pulling all nighters is bad.  Kids, don't try it at home... but for me I think it worked. Kind of bold of me to say before I got all of my grades back... but I think I did fine. My term paper for the Chaucer class was particularly Brilliant and I really want to know how I did on it. lol.

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
