mydarlingYou know what? Just once in these last few weeks I'm going to Community College, I'd like to be able to sleep in. I can't tell you the last time Mommy or Dad took me in at the regular time - 9 AM on Monday/Wednesday, 8 AM on Tuesday/Thursday; I've woken up at 6:45 AM everyday for the past few weeks in order to leave the house by 7:30 AM, and I've haven't gone to sleep before midnight AT ALL, a true rarity for me. So as a result I'm incredibly exhausted, but weary of taking a nap because I end up taking really long naps and have too much to do this weekend for that to happen. But we'll see how things go.
I don't have much to say re: American Idol and CSI:NY. The "songs from the year of contestants birth" is a classic, but I was disappointed that no one sang "Against All Odds", "Love is a Battlefield" or anything by The Police, which somehow always come up during that week. I was thrilled, however, that Kris did a very, very good version of Don Henley's "All She Wants To Do is Dance" by taking the very simple melody and turning it into something more rocker-ish. And I'm beyond thrilled that Scott was FINALLY booted off, proving that I KNOW HOW TO PICK EM. I was secretly hoping that Katharine McPhee would be their special American Idol alum to perform on the results show, as a little cross-promotion for the fact that she was going to be on CSI:NY right after - until I realized that it would be unlikely, since they're on different networks and in constant competition of one another. But Kat sounded just as fabulous as she did on Idol three years ago, and that little Flack/Angell scene in the beginning of the episode made me feel a lot better about not having Danny/Lindsay to flail over.
I decided to give up on my American History term paper. It was really only acting as an extra credit assignment, and I'm doing a lot better in the class that I orginally thought I would before the semester began, so if I do well with the last few weeks of the semester, I should end the class with a 3.9, around a 90%, which is still good. I was just getting frustrated doing the assignment - I waited until a few days ago to start doing research, and I also had Film research to do, so I didn't have a lot of time to go digging and actually read sources, and the topic I was given seemed pretty easy, but actually required a lot of research. So now I'm just going to focus on my Film paper (which is probably going to be the death of me) and my final paper in English - which is going to be pretty tough because I can only have one internet source and I haven't been doing as well on the other two papers as I hoped I would. *crosses fingers that everything goes smoothly for the next three weeks*
Oh, and I hoped on the bandwagon and got a tumblr - though I'm not sure what I'll use it for!
