hello!!!!
so....i'm writing a paper again. thats why i'm writing in here! i started working on this at today, and i haven't really taken much of a break, although i've only gotten one page out of ten done. it's really hard because we're not supposed to say our opinions at all. everything has to be taken from somewhere else, and everything has to be notated in footnotes. it takes forever and i have so much i want to say, but the only way i can say any of it is to find someone important that thinks the same thing as me. but the source has to be authoritative and the un website sucks and the libraries suck cuz half are closed and the reference people dont work weekends. basically the only research i have all came from the web. there's a lot of it..i have like 20 un documents and some other stuff, but it's not really what i want. unfortunately i have to have this thing almost completely done by tomorrow for office hours. gah!!! i'm gonna be up late unless some genius strikes me and i can suddenly write. it doesn't help that i'm not sure quite how i'm organizing this and what my topic is. the only good thing is the fact that i only need to get a C on the paper since i'm taking the class pass/no pass.
i found this really great internet radio station and i've been listening to it pretty much all day.
we had our summer symphony concert last night. it went much better than i expected it to, but it could've gone better. it also could have not been like 105 degrees inside that stupid church. oh well...david kinda ignored me which i dont really like since i try to sound good at the concert and get noticed. oh well.....
i have gotten a lot of bio studying done like yesterday, so i'm not too worried about that. of course i still feel the need to study more but...
i'm so excited!! summer school will be done on thursday! and then i'm headed off to my cousins wedding. i'm not really excited about that since there's nobody i really know or can hang out with there. but i'm staying in my aunts apartment and it's all sweet...there's a hot tub and a pool and it's near the coast and they have a huge plasma tv.
i also get to get dressed up in my new dresses = ) yay!
ummm......yeah....this paper is so frustrating
this is not my specialty...writing papers like this. it's especially hard too cuz she was never really that clear with what she wanted, so i'm still not sure i'm going about this the right way. i'm trying to include lots of resources and such, but i dont know what to say once i've listed all the revelant international treaties and declarations.....hopefully there's enough to take up several pages and I can then attempt to explain how they work and show some examples...and then i will pray that those take up like 5 pages so i can be done then! ah...10-12 pages is a lot. although it is double-spaced which means that it's really only 5 pages. when i type papers, i type in 8pt-single spaced font so i feel like i need to write more...like the fact that it's less than half a page long right now, but when i make it the right size its a little over 1 page. i should go, but i'm just so frustrated with it
maybe i'll take a little break
more than this, since i'm still typing and sitting here doing this....
yeah
later
