it's raining.

Yesterday was the real "last day" of my spring break :( Both Graham and Monica are around this weekend, so it's gone back to being super-stressful around here. I no longer can get the computer to myself for long periods of time, stay up until midnight and wake up at noon (like I did last night), or spend the days bumming around in my pajamas doing absolutely nothing. Plus, we "spring forward" an hour tonight, which is totally going to mess up my already-screwed up sleep schedule. Great.

I had to be actually productive yesterday, since I hadn't done anything school-related the entire week. I printed out a few sources for my research paper (which I've decided will be on realism in The West Wing - an absolutely ace topic, given it's been something on my mind lately since I re-watched the last two seasons and has actual sources for me to cite.) I didn't do the research proposal yet, but it won't take as long now that I've got a topic in mind, so I'm planning on doing that during my break on Monday. I'll annotate the sources sometime this weekend, along with reading those stupid, unrelated-to-the-class essays and writing summaries and answering questions about them. But I did watch The War Room and Annie Hall last night for my Film review, both of which were incredibly good. I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time picking a film to write a journalistic review on.

The Office was pretty meh this week, but ( American Idol was surprisingly good. )

I'm still sick, by the way. And I think it's getting worse, which is absolutely great when I have to go back to school. Really.

DOOOOO IT. My support of Joshua has nothing at all to do with the fact that I'm still on this West Wing kick, and would totally break my season 2 DVDs if I didn't have a) a mountain of homework that this sickness is preventing me from doing by giving me a lack of energy and b) to go to school tomorrow. NOTHING AT ALL. He's only leading SVU's Olivia Benson by thirty-something votes, and I doubt he's going too get very far looking at who he might be up against in the later rounds, but still. I think Josh would be very proud to hear you did your democratic duty and VOTED FOR HIM.
