Because when writing papers, I must also write random thoughts
Ah... today's actually been a pretty productive day, all things considered. I got things done while sitting outside (in addition to talking to my sister for twenty minutes. She finally got her license! About time.) I have a thesis for my Fragments paper. Which is a major, major victory. I mean, it's only taken me since... last Thursday, I think. So now all I have to do is hope very much that I can pull ten pages out of this. I think I can, I think I can...
It eventually got a little chilly outside, though. (After I sat there talking and writing and taking pictures of a bee that landed on the bench and hung out for a while.) So I went to Harper, which is nice because it doesn't eat your soul. I think it might actually restore bits of it. So I sat in there and wrote some more (I'm up to about three pages now, but it's all very disjointed and summary-like). Sadly, Harper closes at five on weekends, so I got kicked out. On my way out, though, I was reading the spines of books, like I always do... and quite fortuitously walked past the section of Japanese history-type books I'd been unable to find by searching online. Victory! (Though I soon discovered that my bookbag was too small to hold my computer, camera, power cord, two other books, iPod, and notebooks, as well as these.) Harper library is still my hero.
So, I decided it'd be best for me to get more work done before heading back to the dorm, since it wasn't going to be quiet or anything. I took my sweet time getting to the Reg, though... I even sat down by Botany Pond for a while and wrote... though mostly I took pictures of the ducks and birds. I did hit another good point for my paper, though, I think. So, you know... progress. I think I also inadvertantly entertained several random families that were walking across campus. Oh, and Alpha Delt is so in trouble for getting Wonderwall stuck in my head. They were playing it loud enough that you could hear it all the way across the quads. I'd have this particular problem fixed if iTunes wasn't randomly deciding to garble my music. I thought it was because so many people were connecting to my library at once (yay, Reg during finals week. Perfect for pirating music.), but that didn't seem to be the problem. So now I restart the computer. Darnit, computer people, why did you not fix my sound card like I asked you to??
Edit 1 [6:12]: At least restarting helped. So, since I'm keeping myself here until at least 8 or 9, I'm going to be bored. However, since it's finals week and there's a ton of people in here, the wireless is overloaded, making it totally useless to try to sit on AIM until someone decides to IM me (especially since I have to stay invisible to keep people's buddy notifications from exploding every time I get bumped off the wireless and reconnect). So, if you're bored, e-mail me on my gmail account. Hopefully I won't ramble at you to the extent I did to poor![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sketchyheart yesterday... she got the full brunt of my Riza-musing... which went around in one giant circle, and eventually ate its tail and probably confused me more than I ever should've been confused about it. Yay!
Edit 2 [7:08]: Oh crap, fandom. Just hush up about Riza, okay? I can't believe I'm tired of it already but...yeesh. It's obvious none of us know what's going on. And honestly? Like, one in fifteen of your theories make the slightest bit of sense. Stop just... stop arguing about it. Please. Because I don't have the self control to make myself stop reading them, but I don't have the time to argue with people I don't already know. Alas.
Edit 3 [8:03]: A bee, and birds, because I took pictures while I was outside today. It's probably best that you not click if you're afraid of extreme close-ups of insecty-things, though. Hehe. Also, a new icon came from me sitting in the Reg photographing the wrapper to the Luna bar I'd grabbed at Bart Mart. It said "you are my beacons" before I realized I'd torn it right across the e, and if you moved it just so... well. It amused me. Random amuses me.
