Yay, Halloween!

So, I'm super-excited about this Halloween party Christi (one of my best friends in the world) invited me to. It's tomorrow night, and I'm going to be Catwoman. The costume is improvised, but I think it's passable. I can't wait to go. I think it'll be good for me to get out of my room and ignore homework for a night. =] I'm certainly looking forward to having something SOCIAL to do!

Thanks, Christi!

Love,
Chels

Rethinking Again

I'm so incredibly conflicted right now. Part of me feels called to the teaching profession, but I absolutely hate these education classes. Is it worth it to stick them out and have access to the classroom, or should I turn my attentions and efforts elsewhere? I have no idea. Ideas? Suggestions? Anyone?

A Few Observations

I have finally hit that fork in the road where I feel I absolutely need to make a choice. I can either continue with Troy's English/Language Arts Education program, or I can choose something different. I'm considering several options right now.

I'm leaning heavily toward an English Major with an emphasis on Professional Writing, and a double minor of Print Journalism, and English with an emphasis on Creative Writing.

OH HELL NO

Turnitin is giving me a heart attack. I suppose that this all comes back to the procrastination thing, really. The server where my class's portfolio is located is trying to EPIC-fail, and I have to have this turned in by 9:59 a.m. So, yeah. This is NOT good. I should be SLEEPING. But what am I doing? Having a panic attack because I can't get this stupid website to work like it should. I think the powers that be are trying to send me a message that I need to get my ass in gear and finish my next protocol before the last minute.

Procrastination...A Powerful Addiction

I am a TERRIBLE procrastinator. I've been putting things off my whole life, I swear. I was ten days late for being born, for Pete's sake! x_x Yes, I'm serious. I was supposed to be born on February 14, but I was born on February 24, instead.

I have to wonder if this was some kind of thematic omen right from the beginning...?

Anyway, I'm supposed to write a two-page paper on Sir Francis Bacon tonight. That's going to be fun...NOT! I also need to print some things for Writing Across the Curriculum, but my black ink cartridge hates me right now. Go figure. I'm no activist or anything, but I can not BELIEVE how much stuff we have to print out for that class. -facedesk-

Anyway, I need to get my glasses out of the car and start my reading.

What's the point of this post, you ask?

I'm simply posting this as a reminder to myself that I need to stop putting things off until the last minute because the stress is taking a serious toll on my health. More later!

Really Annoying

I hate how time just flies by, and I don't notice it passing at all. It drives me crazy. Also, I hate that no one ever has time to show me where the UPS store in Troy is.

-sigh-

Ugh. I don't know what to think right now. I'll refrain from any major life choices in light of the fact that it has been a really, REALLY hard semester.

Personal Blog

Since I have an official blog, as an author, I decided to make a personal one as well, so I can run commentary on things that don't necessarily have anything to do with my book(s) or my life as an author. This is more about me as a person and as a student. It's very difficult to be an author and a student at the same time, at least for me. I don't really budget my time well, so things get crazy really easily. Anyway, I hope to have another post up soon!

Thanks for reading.
