How I'm Spending Spring Break

This week is Spring Break (woot woot!) so I'm back at home for the week. It's been really nice to be home, especially because I've gotten to spend so much time with my mom. However, I still had to bring home schoolwork...in fact I had to bring home a lot more schoolwork then I was originally planning to. See I was supposed to take all of my midterms and quizzes and such before spring break, but that didn't work out because professors got sick and things are the syllabus got changed last minute, so I had to bring home a bunch of crap to study. On top of that, because I was so behind in almost everything last week, I brought home all of that work to do too so that I could go back to school at least somewhat caught up.

Right now my big downer is this paper that I have to write for my English Lit class. It really wouldn't be too bad except for the fact that 1)I didn't too amazing on the last paper, 2)I was supposed to bring the professor an outline before spring break so she could help me, and 3)I missed the class where we did a close analysis of one of the poem's I have to write about and therefore don't know what points she thought were important.

Oops. So now I'm sitting here in the library at UNLV attempting to write a paper that I really have no idea how to write. I have absolutely no motivation to do this and can think of a billion things I'd rather be doing at this very moment. Which is in fact why I am writing this blog post. I also have to go put more quarters in the meter soon or else my car will get towed. That's not too great since I don't want to leave my stuff in this library and I have to be back here by 4:00pm to meet up with Karina (yay for best friends!).

I just realized that last sentence really had no flow and made no sense, but that's ok. At least I can recognize my horrible writing mistakes. Before I waste anymore time sitting in this library, I think I better get off the internet and actually accomplish something. Sadly I can only spend 2 more hours here before I have to get the car back home so I might as well take advantage it and get some work done.

Wish me luck and enjoy the lovely spring! :)
