Oh my god he's ALIVE??

Why yes, yes I am! Note that I should be writing a five page paper for English which is due tomorrow, but instead I will wait because, after all, rationalizing procrastination is one of my favorite pastimes. Here's the current list of reasons for procrastinating:

1) My other main essay did pretty well so I don't even really have to turn this one in except for participation points (even though we all know that I will anyway because if I'm anything I am a WHORE of points]

2) Five pages will take me...three hours to crack out if I actually put my nose to the grinding...board [completely forgot how that euphemism is supposed to go] plus an extra two hours for getting distracted by the internet along the way, which means that I don't actually have to start until 8 to get my required 7 hours of sleep

3) I hate my English class and the instructor [there are so many students in that class that UW doesn't have enough professors to provide for us all, so we get graduate student TAs] so much that I really couldn't care less [even though we all know that's a lie]

3 - addendum) My English instructor tells us to put "evidences" in our paper and is infuriatingly grammatically challenged. I have been trying not to actually let any of the writing methods she talks about in class get ingrained in my brain.

4) There are better uses of my time. Like Flash games on the internet. Or minesweeper.


SO ANYWAY, I suppose I should relate some of my most recent happenings, seeing as that's what a blog is for. Or something.

1) I am apparently in a mood for enumerations today so please just kind of go along with all of the random lists >.>

2) I got a job! I am a Student Helper at Harborview where I help stain slides, cover slip those slides [which I am a MASTER at!], and do everything that a non-biology-student could do at such a place. So far I am enjoying it very much and am extremely grateful that I could get such an awesome first job (thank you Deb!!)

3) Hmm, I had something else but I can't remember it. It'll come around.

4) Oh yeah! My summer project will be to build myself a computer from scratch (well, I won't be building my own motherboard and stuff but shush. That's besides the point) because...

a) It will be AMAZING with full HD graphics and [blah blah blah] so that I can play my various games at FULL POWER and revel in the awesomeness

b) It gives me something to do in the summer which I never liked anyway...at UW it's even longer than it used to be, and since I never lived within walking distance of people and my parents hated me too much (hi there lady) to drive me places I had NOTHING TO DO over the summer except "play outside" and "get exercise" and "learn how to spell exercise" (honestly I just had to try five times to spell it right so that the browser would stop underlining it like "ha ha you're stupid you can't spell." It is the worst word in the world for me)

c) I won't have to make you read run on sentences (did your brain explode trying to read the last section?)

d) I want to, and will have money since I have a job! *dance*

5) I have to figure out how to fix my schedule by tomorrow so that I can graduate in four years because the philosophy class I was going to take ended up being RIGHT in the middle of my math class of which there is only one so I can't just move it...now I need somewhere to get writing credit that ISN'T ENGLISH sigh. With a physics major / math and philosophy minor a lot of my schedule is relatively (ha ha like relativity. Puns.) set in stone so this causes a bunch of stuff to fall apart and makes me very frustrated. And makes me write even worse run on sentences (sorry). Blargh.

Righto, I need to do something productive. You know how these things are...one minute you're writing on a blog and the next you're reading about the Vargas regime in Brazil on Wikipedia and simultaneously playing "Sushi Cat" on Armor Games. The internet is like that.
