First Study Guide
2010-Sep-15, Wednesday 06:40 pmI'm fairly sure that I've convinced all my classmates that I'm insane... this is mostly due to the fact that I have typed up the entire study guide and the added to it. In total it's about 17 pages (depending on font type, margins, etc). And here it is, all complete and done as I can get it without my eyes popping out. One day I'll look back on this and chuckle, but at least it's an interesting subject. Now...I've gotta go and defrost my brain a bit -..- I'll write later, sunshines.
ECI - Paper 2
2010-Sep-11, Saturday 05:36 pmOK, after four hours (give or take) of my re-reading the text, typing ideas on the text, staring googley-eyed at the text, cussing out the text, and then staring at a dark room, it’s finally done. Admittedly I was not as prepared for this as I had hoped I’d be. Obviously when the teacher says to read over the essay, what he actually means is to read and take notes and compose thoughts and ideas into written sentences that you will later use in your *insert ludicrous number of pages* paper won’t beat the tar out of you =..= I really do wish he’d just go ahead and actually say that as opposed to scaring us.
Anyway, here it is for ill or nill. My second English Comp paper. It’s supposed to be a 3 page summary of Margaret Mead’s “Sex and Temperament”. Interesting material when I’m not trying to dissect it.
I think I’ll go and pack my head in ice now =..=

Wasting Time before Class
2010-Sep-01, Wednesday 08:53 amSo, I’m sitting at school. Like I do every morning. I race to get ready on time, and then I rush off to school. I get here, usually around 7:50 in the morning. My first class, is at 9. So I sit in the hallway and wait for when it’s time to move. I usually just check e-mail and mess about on FaceBook. I tried reading once, but srsly -..- at this hour, I cannot retain information at all. And it’s not like text books make for amazing reading material anyway.
I’ve been playing about with iMovie a lot. I finally figured out how to import video from my camera directly to iMovie! I was so happy to find out that all I needed was that USB cord that connects TomTom to my computer for updates. I had asked a few people, but they either had no idea or said I may have to get a new camera /shudder. The process is pretty long if you have a lot of material to edit, but it’s worth it :) I’m still not quite sure what I’m doing, but I’m learning by doing….just like always.
I’ve really got nothing else to say. Or at least, I can’t think of anything short to say, and it’s almost time to start packing up. Usually, around 8:45 I head over to the class and loiter outside, waiting with my classmates for the 8 am class to be over. I’m about 10 minutes away from doing that… Oh! That reminds me. There’s this widget that I got for dashboard called ‘tea time’ … I think. And it’s basically a timer that goes off to remind you to tend to your tea before it gets cold o..o it can be set for anything though, so I tend to set it for 10 minutes and then let it remind me that I need to stop typing and get moving :)
I can hear the class next to me wrapping up, so I may as well wrap this up. I’ll type later, Sunshines.

ECI - The First is Always the Hardest
2010-Aug-31, Tuesday 10:18 pmOK! I am done stressing and slaving over my paper! I’m going to turn it in tomorrow and that’s just all there is to it. My teacher will probably hate it/me, but he asked me to write about something personal and I don’t do academic writing about personal stuff TYVM. So here it is.
Aaaand that’s all :) For better or worse. I’ll type later, Sunshines. When I have more energy -..-
