At the end of the semester we have to write 3 detective short stories. I'm trying to get a start on it now so I don't feel unbelievably rushed when all these papers become due. I'm really happy with this one idea!!! It's blending my favorite things ever! I want to just sit in front of the computer reading slang from the 30's.

I guess I had fun this weekend. Didn't succeed in my quest to find a satisfactory pair of black flats. However, I had fun, I guess...and I enjoy Chipotle's burritos. I didn't really do a lot of homework at work yesterday or today...which means...I have A LOT to do tomorrow. I probably shouldn't have done that...and my teacher specifically warned against doing it that way...but I'm a procrastinator. I have a horrible headache and I should probably go to sleep now...but it just seems so early. Oh well.

Next week is going to be busy. I'm trying to go against my procrastinating ways...but we'll see.
I STILL really really hate syntax. I have a test in syntax on Tuesday. It's going to be horrendous.
I went to the dentist today. I hate the dentist too. My gums don't like the dentist either.
I must start on my Old Church Slavic adjectival declensions soon.......
This semester is just so tiring. I don't have a lot of hours. I'm just so tired all of the time. It seems like a common affliction among my fellow students.
