I had to fight to get out of bed yesterday morning. It was about 9:30 when I finally managed it, because I remembered the To Do list I'd made and how few things were crossed off.
I hunted around for something to eat (we really needed to go to the commissary), then eventually wound up working on homework. I didn't get all of it done, but the proliferation of things To Do makes it hard. I won't go into detail, but I will say that it's a lot. A whole lot. I'm
wasting using valuable time writing this blog entry, but I do it for the sake of entertaining my readers and recording my life.
My essays aren't fabulous, but I think they'll do. My other credentials are all shiny, so a slightly dull essay shouldn't mar the total package much. That reminds me of the first time I met Ms. Trice, my guidance counselor, the day we signed senior contracts. (Must check with her about that....) She was looking for the people left on her list, and she said, "Okay, now I need to see Estela and Lindsay." I pointed out Estela and identified myself, and she said, "Lindsay, I love you." It's only because I look good on paper, but still. That was nice to hear.
Greg came over to watch movies last night:
Bad Boys II and
The Truman Show. BBII was long, plotless, and incredibly violent. I have a new reflex now for ducking when I see a bullet go through someone's head. I mean, really. I never wanted to see it, I didn't like what I saw, and given the choice I would have watched something else. But that's how movie nights work: he picks one, I pick one, and we try to be finished in about four hours.
The Truman Show was still good, especially after reading a bunch about it from the
Internet Movie Database. Like, in the scene that shows the arches above the town, the motto is Latin for "One for all, all for one," which is basically the premise of the show/movie. My favorite scene is the one where young Truman tells his teacher that he wants to be an explorer. She pulls the map down and says, "There's nothing left to discover!"
Sigh. It's already past three o'clock. I have a bunch to do due to the
Camelot trip on Tuesday, namely RP Chapter Three.
I need a break, without any strings or wasted time. I really do.
