"You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." --2 Corinthians 3:3

It's times like this that I wish murder were legal

That would be a good song name... Anyways, has anyone ever just had a day where they wish they could just yell at people and use as many swear words as they wanted to get their point across and no one would care? I'm having that kind of day. There are these two girls in my class that I just seriously want to yell at and then beat their heads against their desks. I just keep thinking that they only have two volumes: loud and louder. And two levels of obnoxious-ness: obnoxious and then slit-your-own-wrists-to-escape-the-annoyingness obnoxious. Graduation is in 67 days, give or take. I can't wait. That's 66 days too many as far as I'm concerned.

Paper Update

So I wrote until about 12:30/1-ish last night and completed my paper. I was actually proud of it. Now, I don't know what my grade will be, but I'm hoping that it's an A.

If anyone is bored enough to want to read my paper, you can find it: here.

this is what happens when you put off writing a paper:

And yes, that is a rather sizable bag of peanut-butter M&Ms amidst the flurry of papers. I needed brain-food.

So as you all can see as displayed in the image above, I'm trying [unsuccessfully] to write my current English paper. It seems like a moot point to be putting forth such an effort on it when the momentous amount of work I put into the last one went unrewarded. But, alas, I am a perfectionist and I have a constant need to be the best so I'm going to try my hardest to make this paper the best of the bunch. The rest of the people in my English class can suck it.

I have until tomorrow morning to finish a paper that is only about 1/3 done. It's 10 o'clock at night. That gives me roughly 11 hours to finish this paper minus the time that I will inevitably have to go to sleep and get ready tomorrow morning. I'd probably give myself until 2 to finish this paper and that's pushing it because I need my beauty sleep. But I also take forever to finish papers. I'll probably have this thing written by midnight [God willing] and then I'll go back to proof-read it and realize that it's crap and make a rash, late-at-night-decision to rewrite the paper and then I'll be up 'til some ungodly hour of the morning rewriting a perfectly good paper that didn't need to be rewritten. I'm betting that Murphy's law is going to kick my butt with this paper.

How's that for optimism?! [facepalm]

No. I will write this paper, it won't take for-freakin'-ever and it will be good. I will get a well-deserved A on this thing and I will be pleased with my work. <- Positive reinforcement.

Wish me luck.

In Which Ink Posts Another Emo Post

I'm sure I'm not the only teenager in the world who feels like school is an epic waste of time. I'm probably one of many--but right now school is not only a waste of time it's a monumental stressor and something that makes my heart feel like it's breaking. No matter how hard I try on assignments [namely English, because I love it] I can't ever get anything right. I just wrote, what I thought was the best paper I've ever written, and I think I got one of the lowest grades in the class. My teacher didn't see the point I was trying to convey, she thought the reasons backing it up rambled and that it was disjointed. Yeah I only worked for like three days straight on the damn thing and it sounds disjointed and not-well thought out. Sure.

And now I have to go to history class, which might just suck. Because it's history. Ugh.

Snow, School and Other Random Things

I haven't posted anything in a while...Nothing all that interesting has happened, to be quite honest. We've got a crapload of snow. Last Friday/Saturday we got about a foot. So no school Monday or Tuesday, had a 2 hour delay on Wednesday. And now the white madness if back for round 2 and school is cancelled today because it's been snowing for about 4 hours straight with the threat of freezing rain once the snow stops. Just great. We're supposed to get anywhere from 7 to 20 inches. I refuse to watch the forecast, so I don't know the actual estimate. So now I'm just sitting at home, eating chorizo and watching Project Runway. Avoiding looking out the windows because all this snow is just depressing.

I should probably work on the homework that my teachers gave us for the snow day. But I'm having issues figuring out what exactly to write for my English paper and I'm avoiding history like the plague because I'm sick and tired of American history. English isn't so bad, because I'm good at English; but I get the feeling this paper will be interesting. We're supposed to write our view on tattoos and piercings...and my view of them is positive and I think teenagers should be able to get them. If I didn't it would be kind of hypocritical because I have a peircing and will be getting another probably in May and hopefully my first tattoo over the summer. [laughs] I probably won't have a problem writing this paper...but I still actually have to have the motivation to write it.

Ok, and now, my final observation. Is anyone else who's on Facebook really tired of the doppleganger week trend thing? Where people change their profile pictures to that of a celebrity whom they resemble. It's starting to get on my nerves. I refuse to take part in it. Mainly because I don't think I've ever really been compared to a celebrity. A friend of mine once told me that I look like the girl from Gran Torino...which makes no sense because I'm not Asian...I'm Hispanic. But ok. I'm just waiting for everyone to change their pictures back so I'm not looking at Jennifer Aniston or Oprah or whatever when I'm trying to talk with someone on Facebook...
