(I missed you journal! I will never leave you to spite another again! I promise!... hopefully. Hehehe)
So, I actually did get to four pages. And look, it's not even 1:30 yet. My four pages are a little disjointed, but that can be fixed easily enough once I get my thesis in order. I feel like I'm actually making my points this time around, probably because I have a better idea of what I'm arguing. Yaaay. My roomie has actually gone to sleep before me, which is a rare sight indeed. I think it has only happened three times, counting this time. But I'm going to sit here and listen to more game music because I'm in that sort of mood. I also seem to think that it makes me write better for some reason.
I sort of started reading through the course catalog again today, to see if a CompSci-English double major would be at all possible. I'm still not entirely sure I'd enjoy CompSci here, since it's so theoretical and stuff... like everything else here goshdarnit. Heh, I should never have given up CompSci in the first place. I'm not sure what put me off it, but it certainly wasn't anything on the level of completely not understanding it at all sometimes. I sort of know in the back of my mind though that if at the end of next year (well, halfway through, actually) I still want to major in Computer Science I am going to have to transfer somewhere else. And I've got no idea where I'd transfer to. Heh, I'm still holding out hope that I'll bring my GPA up this quarter rather than down... it's a silly sort of hope, but I'm still holding on to it. Especially since my average score on the quizzes for Bio were a good ten points higher than the class average. That should make up for the dismal grade on my first paper, so I just have to hope this one isn't due at noon. If it's due at noon, I'm pretty much screwed. And my evil TA still hasn't e-mailed me back yet. I hope he's asleep, and will wake up before noon tomorrow so I don't drive myself crazy. I'm going to have to get up at 9 tomorrow so I can make sure the paper's in working order by 11:30 or so just in case. I can pull it off... afterall, I wrote that last paper in about two hours. All 6 pages of it. Which obviously wasn't a good idea. Whoa.. that was an abrupt change of topic. Aaanyway. I think I'm going to go brush my teeth and go to bed, and try not to dream horrible dreams about this paper eating my soul. Then, after it's done I'm going to start working on my calculus challenge questions so maybe I can bring my grade in there up to a more respectable A-. I'd be so proud of myself if I got an A- in there. Next quarter's going to be tougher though, since all the kids that are doing badly are going to drop, leaving me and all the people bound by their majors to finish a year of the dreaded calculus monster. Heh, CompSci here doesn't even require the third quarter. But I am taking it anyway, because it's the only class I kind of sort of like (aside from drama, which I guess doesn't really count because I am supposed to like the artish classes). It's probably because the answers are either right, or they're wrong, and you can't take points off for arbitrary bits of grammary evilness. Why on earth am I trying to double-major in English then, you may ask? Because it's the only major where the classes look interesting. I mean, aside from astrophysics. But astrophysics requires a lot of other stuff to get there. Stupid mechanics, standing in my way.
Right... I'd better go because I feel like I'm keeping my roomie up with my typing, and it's too dark in here to really read any more. I finished "On A Pale Horse" today, though. Which was a really good book, and a really surprisingly quick read. It only took me three days, and that was with papers due all the time reading it one or two chapters at a time. Mmmm, I need more good fiction. Mmm, I hope I get into Contemporary Science Fiction and that it's a cool class. That would make me a happy person. Heh, guess I get to find out tomorrow. Eep, there's another reason I need to get up early, I need to register for lifeguarding, too. I'd better send myself an e-mail. Ohh, next quarter is going to be so nice, I think.
