Almost free..

I am almost free of school for the term. Almost. First I need to write a 5000 word paper on environmental crime in 24 hours. I can do that right...? Did I mention I don't have much research done..? *sigh...*
11:50am on the 13th - I'm sitting... I'm about to work. I swear. Must finish my long article that's really informative and will be terribly helpful when I actually start to write.
11:53 - wait wait.. I need coffee!
11:58 - Mmm... yay warm coffee (I picked the wrong seat... I'm next to the door and it keeps opening and closing with a blast of cold air every couple minutes... though I'm sure that'll be helpful when its 10pm tonight and I can't keep myself awake...)12:58 - Good timing. I finished that article. Yay! And my computer wants me to restart so I'm gonna go let it do that while I get some food as I am hungry.
1:11 - Mm... soggy storebought sandwiches. I don't usually buy pre-made sandwiches but I wanted something semi healthy and that's as close as they've got. And chocolate milk. Now I'm onto an article by a man with a last name of La Force... which makes me smile.
1:56 - La Force was of no help to me. Let's see what Finkle has to offer.
3:59 - I want to die. Ugh. But I think I'll actually start writing now. I know what I'm gonna say I think. Or at least I have a pretty good idea.
4:42 - This is the most unorganized thing I've ever written. I'm just writing the paragraphs right now, I'll fit 'em all together later on. (265/5000!)I'm not sure how much more of this cold air I can handle... I'm seriously eyeing that table over on the other side... but that does require packing up all my stuff...
5:04 - 427! and I need a bathroom and get-coffee-break!
5:15 - Coffee's gross. And I'm cold. Back to work.
6:20 - 969! I stalled a bit in there too... could have gotten more done.
6:40 - Ok. Not funny. Business boy just sat down across the way from me. See... now I'm grinning like an idiot. Oh dear, now I might just have to move using the excuse of the cold door as my reasoning... I also may just go home soon. I'm tired and my back hurts. And I want to put my foot up... we'll see. Let's try and get to 2000 before I leave though.
6:57 - Facebook got rid of the "is" in the status box! Exciting. And no, I'm not on facebook. ;)
7:55 - Ok. I'm at 2108. I think I'm doing pretty good. Almost halfway there! I'm heading home now. Time to brave the cold and the slippery sidewalks!
9:40 - I'm home, warmed up and fed. And I really just want to go to bed...
11:10 - 2895! Yay. That makes me super happy. And sleepy...
11:20 - 3001. I am exhausted so I'm going to go to bed. I'll get up a decent hour tomorrow and finish this up.
8:30 on the 14th - Morning. Ugh. I should have just gotten up after a few hours: I tossed and turned all night. But, the swelling in my ankle is going down! I can see my ankle bone again.
9:48 - 3797. I am actually pretty confident with where this is going. Haven't used 20 sources yet though, I might just have to throw in a couple facts here and there just to make sure I use them all. Must go get some warm liquid.
10:46 - 4207 - I'm having a really hard time spelling environment this morning. And I got hot chocolate and then forgot about it... now its cold. This is exciting, I have never written this much before and its really not so bad. And I haven't even touched on procedural problems yet... or developed a thesis. :)
12:14 - 5102! yay! Ok, now to put this in APA format... I don't know it so it could take awhile and how do you put cases in APA? You don't... I know.
1:30 - So APA does not have footnotes and I had done it all up in footnotes as I went along. Ugh. And there were alot. I'm just gonna leave the cases as footnotes or maybe I'll do him up a list of cases at the end or something...hmm...
2:09 - Completely done! Yay! That really wasn't so bad. I got sleep even. Haven't eaten since Wednesday but regardless, its done. 1st term is over!

Hi Ho...Hi Ho...

18th - 9:40pm -> This weeks major work is the two papers I have due on Tuesday. One for History of Sexualities and one for Imperial Russia.
I know what I'm writing for the Russian one so I'm gonna start that one first. After I have a warm shower and pay some attention to Jack.
11:10pm -> So I've showered... sent h4h emails, made tomorrow's phone call list and eaten chocolate cake. Yet the essay remains untouched, I tried to claim I couldn't work on it anymore cause it was on lsgb's computer but that fell through when she sent it to me...
11:40pm -> I'm thinking of just going to bed. I haven't been feeling so well lately and I"m really tired (I feel asleep on the couch this afternoon admist my little brother playing hockey in the same room!). I'm hoping its just cause I didn't get much the last couple weeks and not something else, though the rest of the not feeling well symptoms point to something else and it would not be good. But anyways, I think I'm just going to go to bed and get up tomorrow morning and work finish my Russian Paper, go to class then h4h meetings and then write the other one. Yeah. That's my plan. Sooo... night!
19th - 11:45am -> So I got some sleep, but I'm still tired. I've also worked on my paper. I have about 3 pages to go. I can do that. And I will after I order mine, lsgb's and Islander's textbooks for our philosophy class!
2:00pm -> Soo, I've got only two pages to go. Yes. It took me three hours to write one page. But I had to make some phone calls and prepare for tonight's meeting.
3:45pm -> Heading into campus now for meeting, then I'm gonna go for coffee downtown and work on the papers. Its looking like a long night.
4:15 -> This makes me cry.
8:25pm -> Delegating is not my problem. The problem is that people can't do things right so if I want it done right I have to do it myself. On the other side of things... my papers are both half done. Skipping back and forth between the two is probably not optimal but oh well.
10:50pm -> Still only halfway done both of 'em. I was just told that's like having one whole one done! I wish. Its gonna be a long night and I'm already falling asleep.
20th - 12:15am -> Done one! YAY! And I can barely keep my eyes open. Bed now perhaps and then finish the other in the morning...?

Reading Vaccine

Regarding the title... I don't know. I couldn't think of anything that combined the two subjects dicussed in the following post.

The university has been doing measles, mumps and rubella vaccine clinics for the last little while. I considered getting it but I haven't had the chance to go. Today I was mentioning this, the moment I said "maybe I should get that", Lsgb and Islander simultaneously yell "yes". So apparently my friends think I should get it cause I keep getting sick. Maybe not such a bad idea. It'd be just my luck for me to one of those things and then end up ill for weeks on end.
**Apparently I have already had this, in high school, so no need to get it then. Which is good cause I'm not so fond of being stuck with needles.

In other news, my textbooks for Russian History finally came in. Which means I can catch up. I skipped the Russian History class this afternoon so I could get to work on the reading. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing but I have 19 chapters in one book to read and about 250 pages in another. Should be fun.
It's 3:10pm on the 25th.... I'm on chapter 2. Let's see how long this takes!

4:50 - Just finished Chapter 5! Now I'm going to clean up the apartment a bit, eat something and head out to my work staff meeting.

8:15 - So, back from the staff meeting. I hate staff meetings but it wasn't too bad, I got to see a few coworkers who I like and I haven't seen in awhile so that was good. Now its back to the reading for a bit.

9:00 - House and Bones season premieres! Yay! And company. Back to school work later on.

12:35am 0n the 26th- Company is gone and I have yummy cookies to eat and a good fill of Dr. House. On a sidenote, I researched the Oxford Seminars on LSATs today cause well the plan is to possibly write next July or so. But I definetly will not be doing one of those since they cost ALOT. Okay, going to go read a bit, haven't slept much lately so I'm unsure of how long I'll be able to stay awake.

1:30 - Ok. I'm not going to get work done. I'm too tired. So sleep. I'll get back to it tomorrow. Night all.

6:45 - So I'm up. This is ridiculous. My day off and I'm up already. But I couldn't sleep due to a few things on my mind and the searing pain in my lower back. Oh and the ridiculous hunger pains. So to the reading it is.

11:00 - Woo! Onto Chapter 11!

11:45 - I replied to some emails. And ate a cookie. Now I feel icky and must shower before getting back to my reading.

1:00pm - So lawschoolgonnabe needs her Business Law notes. That I have here. And she's far away. So I have to type 'em up and send them to her. They needed to be typed up anyways and this will be all the studying that gets done for our test tomorrow on my part.

2:45 - Okay. Notes typed. And my living room is a disaster. There are books and paper everywhere! It looks like exam time hit. I want to clean. But if I do... then I won't get any reading done. And I only have eight chapters left! and those 200 pages...

4:45 - Done up to Chapter 13. Going to a cheap dinner and a movie with M and ClivesLover. Even though I really shouldn't cause I have a ton of work to do.

11:30 - I'm home. The early movie we were supposed to catch did not happen. I should have just come home but by the time the bus got me here it would have been pointless. So, going to call my mom and get back to the reading.

3:15am on the 27th - Almost finished! The chapters at least. Really need to study for Business Law too...

6:45 - So, I finished most of the reading and studied for Business Law. Also fell asleep for a bit I think. I'll assume that's where that hour I can't remember went. Now its time to start the long day. So procrastination/distraction thingy for the reading is now over. Have a great day all!
