So, guess who had a long weekend? Guess who spent said weekend playing video games instead of doing her research paper? Guess who ended up doing the whole paper on Sunday night? Did you guess Nimbusoak? YES! That's the correct answer! You win...A MILLION DOLLARS! Kidding. You get no money
Yeah, I'm a fool. Friday we had off for Workshop (whatever that means), and my parents left for the night. Well, freedom has a bad effect on me. I don't think I ate anything without sugar all day, for one thing. I ate mostly cookie dough and pancakes. I made a big batch of pancakes, but no one would eat them, so I just had this massive bowl of pancake batter that we had to throw out. I then spent the whole rest of the day playing PS2. I mentioned this a while ago,but last year the only thing I really liked to do (besides watch anime) was playing this game called Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. Tragically, I got into it just as our computer was breaking down, so every time I wanted to play it became an epic struggle of man versus machine as I tried to get the disk drive to recognize the disk. When we replaced the computer, it didn't have the graphic capacities to play the game, so that was it. BUT we got our PS2 out of the attic over Thanksgiving break, and my dad bought the PS2 version of the game for about $3 on Amazon (it's old ), so now I can finally pick up where I left off with my life. So pretty much I spent the whole day eating sugar and playing Emperor's Tomb, then I stayed up till two watching Futurama (ahh, Nimbus, what were you thinking?) Saturday is sort of a void in my memory, which is probably bad. But Sunday night it occured to me that my research paper about the NSA surveillance scandal was a) due tomorrow and b) not even started. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the night in Essay Due Tomorrow mode, which ended with me running into length formatting issues and having a total meltdown. But I finished it! Yaay.
There's probably a lesson to this story about self discipline and planning, but the fact that I'm on theO instead of doing my math homework would suggest I didn't learn it. But, hey, Christmas is coming. I've felt pretty awful this year because the level of stress I was dealing with, but I just don't care any more. I just need to get through a few more weeks, and then it's Christmas! That feels so-ooo good. This semester sucked, but it's almost over. I'm so relieved.
To the winners of my challenge, I have not abandoned you! Your prizes are coming very soon. Bear with me. And I will be writing a new post for Elemental Academy soon. I'm, sorry I didn't do it yet.
Can't remember if I mentioned this, but I'm doing this creative writing class where you have to peer-edit other kids' writing, and some of it's really good, but some of it sucks with a capital S. One story I read last week was written just like a Stephanie Meyer book, I swear. I'm having fun with it though. I'll have to post some of my stuff later, that is, if anyone wants to read haikus about what a nerd I am. Love you guys, see you all later!
