Group Work is My New Hobby

let me just say first...i love the library computers. they have huge screens. i can see my whole Word document. and even two pages at a time...without squinting. its pretty awesome. for real.

so basically i have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. at least it feels like it. and we're halfway through the semester ladies and gentleman. ugh. my shoulder is starting to cramp up. i have been sitting at this computer for two hours. holy crap.

right now the name of the game is group. group work to be exact. and it blows. i have this huge project going on in my tech writing class - i.e. the class i cannot, ever screw up in again - and then i have this project going on in my advertising class. and its with this girl i really can't stand. she thinks she is right all the time. we're working on our draft for tomorrow (well...its not really a draft, because its due. and final.) but she's going on about comma placement...and i'm thinking "are you the English major here? no...you are not. so shut it. up. now. damn you." haha. no, really. i'm serious. she finally left. i mean this whole thing has to go her way. and i opened up a Word doc and started putting it together and its like "are you going to remember do this? are you going to add in that?" hey, lady, i can read. i'm not stupid. let me finish. at least she is gone.

also i have another fiction story due next week. ah!! i just started tonight and i'm kind freaked. i'm writing in 3rd person about a younger guy (31), Charlie, whose wife leaves him with their two year old. i'm not sure exactly what the conflict will be. i'm guessing something along the lines of: "oh my god. i have a baby now. and i'm 31. what do i do?" but i am not male, and do not have a baby...so we'll see how that goes.

last thing, before i jet off to study with some people for my theater test tomorrow. i agreed to help with hair and makeup for the play "5 Women Wearing the Same Dress". and although i know i will be kicking myself the whole week i'm doing it - see me working, doing homework, and going to 2-3 hour rehersals and then shows every night - i'm excited. i feel involved. go me.

mk...my right arm is about to fall off. good night, and good luck.
