So. Much. American Foundatins Reading.

My computer works again!

It had been eaten by 15 viruses (at least, I didn't watch the scan after 15), thus not letting me get on the internet...

And then I was sick for over a week, and just didn't have the strength to make it to the computer help desk. But once I did... trust me, I don't regret it! Not only did I make a ton of computer-geek friends, my computer is cookie/worm/trojan horse/virus free! (or, at least, we hope so) The main thing is that I have my internet back again. And my e-mail. Yeah, trying to communicate with my teachers (and randomly, my RA) about being sick on the flipping SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL was not easy when having no access to the internet.

Seriously? I've missed more classes than I've been to. (Bangs head violently on desk a few times). I have so much make-up stuff it's not even funny. As of right now, I know that I have to read over 124 pages of American Foundations text (OOO NOOOOOOO!!! Which I have an exam on Friday.... UGH), 3 essays for Book of Mormon, another hundred pages of English text to read, two English papers... (I haven't actually talked to my english teacher in person yet, these are just the things that I've missed, not the extra make-up work....) and I have absolutely no idea what I have to do what Intro to the English Studies, although I suspect that it's nothing. Mostly we just have people who've made a profession of "english" come and lecture us, at least, that's what I've gathered from sitting in ONE CLASS...

Good news? I gathered from the internet that there is going to be a Pre-Professional Writers conference next week!!! YEAH!!!!!!! Apparently, if I go (which I plan on), I get a note from Bro. Harrel (my intro to the English studies professor) to excuse me from all my other classes :D I'm so stokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkked. (yes, I just said stoked. Sue me.)

I'm being a nerd and submitting two poems to the conference... I guess there's a certain workshop where ametuer writers just read their stuff... I know my stuff isn't good enough, its just crap from last year in creative writing, but I'm still submitting something so I can at least say that I tried to be active in my cause :D I'm so excited to go... :D :D :D

Gosh, I'm so tired, but I have so much work to do... I'm trying not to get overwhelmed, however, so I'm allowing myself a little break (okay, I haven't really done much, but I started getting really stressed, so I thought a little venting might be good, via blogger)... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
