Oookay, then!
Apr. 13th, 2004 12:07 amSo I went away for the weekend to see the relatives, and the relatives were very nice to me. There was much chocolate consumed. And, for the first time, I won the egg-cracking contest! You see, all the relatives on Da's side get together for Easter lunch, and each member has a hard-boiled egg with their name on it. So after everyone takes their egg, they turn to whomever's sitting next to them, and one cracks the points of the eggs together, and the other cracks the blunt sides together. If your egg breaks on both sides, you're out and you eat the egg. Well, I cracked both my older sister and my mother's eggs to achieve victory. Pretty cool.
When I got out of bed Sunday, I knew it was an important day, so I looked out the window. Seeing all the snow there, I said, "Merry Christmas!" And then I remembered it was April. Stupid Michigan weather. No joke, it snowed before and on Easter Sunday.
Today was a return to the swing of things. I had both of my finished drafts critiqued and told that they needed minor tweaks to be A-class papers. They've been tweaked and are hopefully ready for the final product. So I've been hammering at my 8-10 page draft, and I've managed to put down a solid five pages, soon to cross onto the sixth page of work. Still have a ways to go, mind you, and I'll be talking to my Chaucer professor tomorrow to see if I'm missing anything really important that can help me plant the last few pages on it (the draft isn't finished yet, so I can't take that, but I can take my ideas.)
So enjoy your chocolate, those who celebrate. Tomorrow I get to hit the grinder, not just with classes, but a business meeting and the election night for our chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi is tomorrow night. I'm running for the Vice President's office, and so I'll be a bit nervous. It's that time of year, where everything comes flying at me so that it all falls into place before the semester ends. But even then, I think I've managed to get most of the stress off myself. Now if I could only fight off the urge to procrastinate so much...
...meh. As much as I want this semester to be over, I'm not sure I want to know what the summer entails. Could be a riot, though, if everything pans out correctly. Either that, or it could be a nightmare. We'll just have to see how it all ends.
