A Day Inside
Today, I ventured outside my single for about....3 minutes-max (and that was only to get dinner from the Villiage store-which turned out to be closed for Easter Break) Why. you may ask did I live like a professional hermit today? God...didn't you read the "Only-Child" post....No,but really. I have that pesky 8 page paper due Wed. So, last night, after fun, I sat my ass down and read, and read and read about art and photography. "Oh, this is pretty cool" I admit to myself silently. "Wow, this is a good photo for 1867" I thought again. Pages and pages....then I had to stop.
Where the fuck is my paper topic?
What the fuck am I supposed to write about?
How the fuck am I supposed to grasp the entire nineteenth-century phenomenon of Photography and it's connection to art in 8 pages and make is decent? (meaning, get an A which apparenty the British never give)
So, I continued to read, hoping a ray of light toting a potential thesis would bless me.
This morning I awake, after calling the day quits at about 230Am (Hey, I got to sleep before 3-making progress!! :smiles:) but anyway, I get up at 8am randomly. Why?
No clue.
I sit at my computer, grab the 300 page books entitled Art and Photography and sift thought it's smelly and stained pages. Yuck! (I never did end up using the book, my paper may suck as a result of that, but I draw the line at using an old decepit books that were constructed when Elizabeth Taylor was at the height of her beauty. Yup. That long ago.)
So, I move on to the other papers and to the half of page I managed to bullshit last night. I mess around on the net for about an hour, blast music in my ears to wake myself up-but by 9, my ass is back in bed. Dead ass tired.
I do not wake again, until 1pm. Gulty ass hell, and only a day and a half to finish the paper before going into a stress related coma.
And guess what? Today was alandmark day: the first time I have ever finished a paper in one day. (not in one sitting-who does that??). I am proud of thy self.
I made a deal with another girl in my class, Sam to meet with her at Rostars tomorrow so that we could reviews eachother's papers. I have missed those vanilla lattes!
Today, I ordered in, and asked my American Flatmate Sarah to order w/ me. Another first: for the first time, I actually sat down at the 6 seated dinner table in the kitchen here. Wow. We ate our lackluste Papr John's chessesticks (W/ NO Sauce provided-wtf is wrong w/ them? I just gave thier asses 21 american dollars for 2 boxes of cheesesticks, potaote wedges, and a large pepsi!) Not to mention, I decided about 5 minutes after I ordered it, that it was a waste of money (I could have just eaten frosted flakes and called it a a day but NO, I wanted real food for once. Ha!
Nonetheless we ended up having a good convo. However, I did find out she voted for Bush (In the states, I simly would not tolerate this, but in london, do as the londoners do: tolerate) and she is a Poly Sci major (see, I KNEW none of those people really ahd sense) But she is really nice, and I just so happened to ask her if she had seen many typical sites, she said no, and she suggested that me, her and Sam go around London Easter break to the Tower of London, Madame Tussad's and London Bridge....so I hope to go with them and
ooo good news! I have a digital camera! Yay! Ecstatic. At first I felt bad...."do I reall need a digital?" I asked....now I am convinced. It is an investment I said. And my cousin agreed with me (a first) and she will be sending it prompty when she gets it.
So, yes, that was my day inside to today. I would say a pretty good day, very productive indeed! :nods: lol.
oooops, 255am, time for sleep!..so much for that progress I was making....
