Dec. 4th, 2005 08:13 pmSo, okay. Yesterday, I drove away with the car still plugged in and wrecked the extension cord.
Today, I was going to get things I needed for a portfolio, and after I brushed the snow off the car, I realized that I had locked. The keys. Inside the running car. My sister and I were sharing it before she left, and she seems to have taken the spare with her. My apartment keys are on that key chain, as well as my bus pass and my meal card. My building manager was not home to give me an extra key to my apartment.
Luckily my mom was in the city, and had a miracle extra key.
I've been at school every day for the last three weeks or so, and I'm still not done. I have four final projects, a portfolio, a lab, and two assignments due tomorrow, of which I have completed two and a half projects and the lab. Monday is the last day of classes, though. That's a 'YAY!', but my finals schedule is not the best ever.
Here's the thing: I accidentally did insanely, insanely well on my midterms, so now I feel this PRESSURE to continue to do so. I mean, I've been doing pretty well for myself, but.
Every year, I say that this is going to be the year I actually study for something. The year I put more than a sum total of three hours into an exam. (Last year, this actually happened: I put in four hours for one. You have to understand, engineering is not exactly a cake walk.)
After that, I have three Secret Santas due, and the Female Gen one at the beginning of January. I also really need to get the O11 one up and running -- I'm thinking sign ups close December 20th, stories due at the end of January. Either that, or I'll push it off to after Christmas entirely, and hope people aren't all ficathoned out.
I should say that I'm going to be silent for a while, but I am the procrastingatingness procrastinator ever, so there will probably be MORE pointless LJ entries.
But, as a favour? If you see me hanging out on AIM, could you kick my ass?
