perfection takes me years.

1. I skipped Government earlier today so I'd have time to post my picspammy project (it's here, btw) and write notecards for today's speech. Do I feel guilty about it? Slightly. I had a lot to do today and not a lot of time to do it. Government class was the only one I could justify skipping today because a) it's boring as hell, and b) we weren't doing anything of importance. But I'll be there on Thursday, because we have a quiz that I can't miss and I think we're starting to review for the first exam. It was really nice not having to go to class, because I'm not feeling all that great and don't get any extended breaks between classes. I may skip more often.
2. My speech didn't go as well as I thought it would. I went over the 4-minute time limit, and wasn't able to present all my information. I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE PROCRASTINATED ON IT AND ACTUALLY SPENT SOME TIME PRACTICING. But I'm really excited about the next speech (which isn't due for two weeks, but I've learned my lesson and immediately started researching after class), which is on something from the year of our birth; mine is 1990. I really wanted to do the Olympics that year, but apparently none took place. So I looked up significant events that took place during that time and found out that Jim Henson died in May. THIS IS THE PERFECT TOPIC FOR ME. I LOVE THE MUPPETS A LOT.
3. I haven't had a chance to study for my Astronomy exam yet (will do a little bit tonight and tomorrow in between classes), but I found out yesterday that we can use one sheet of notes for help. This is great, lifesaving news. We took a review test and the professor said everything that was on the test, plus a few other things is all that's going to be on the exam. So I'll write all the answers down and use those as my notes. That way I don't have to hardcore study for it. I'm hoping I do at least okay on it; I really can't afford to fail this class.
4. Obama phone bank tomorrow night! And I may or not be going to a debate party on Thursday.
5. I missed all of Prison Break last night because I was busy finishing up my speech and forgot to tape it, so I'll have to watch it online later this week.
6. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN ALL DAY TODAY, AND IT ONLY RAINED WHILE I WAS IN CLASS. FAIL, UNIVERSE.
