Some one said that they didn't like the blogs as well as the journals but i think the opposite. I liked the journals but i like the blog even better. I made it easy for myself because i set my blog as my homepage. That made it easy for me because whenever i got online, which is a million times a day, it was easy to just type out a post. I think that i might even keep up with the blogs after i have to. I might start a new one that's not even public. just like an inline diary i guess. I think it will be interesting to go back and read it a couple years for now, and maybe eventually share it with others. I don't want a physical journal because someone always seems to find it and read it!
I have no more classes. And i don't have any real exams. I only have one regular art history test next week during an exam time. I am stuck up in Richmond without a car. I have to find a way home to get my car so i can drive back up, take my one test next Tuesday, and move all of my stuff out of my dorm by myself. I have nowhere to park my car, which is a big truck. I plan on going to belle isle every day the rest of the week but ive herd that it is going to rain. Basically i am going to be bored as shit for the next week and i am going to go completely broke. As soon as i get home i have to figure out the situation with my work so i can get back on the schedule as soon as possible. Summer is starting out with alot of stress.
I was scared to use the pictures on my oral presentation but i just decided t do it. I was pretty sure they would be effective and they were a good visual that showed exactly what my research was about. I didn't think about how they might be offensive to some untill i get in front of the class. I realized that though i had no problem with them, some people pay have a weak stomach or even a weak heart. Another thing is that the pictures were projected onto a huge screen instead of my small computer screen. I didn't even look at them up on the screen since i was talking but i bet they were even more graphic at that size. I think they flowed pretty well into my presentation, even though the presentation all together didn't flow very easy. At least they bought me some time!

i don't think my oral presentation on Friday was as bad as my last one, but it was still pretty bad. I don't even remember it i was so stressed before and i was like out of it while i was presenting. At least it's over with. i really hope that i never have to do an oral presentation again! or that i just get over being afraid of them! i don't know what it is i just reallly reaallyyy realllyy hate them. Oh well i guess ill just have to deal...

my sister sent me this website (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/) like a week ago and its sad how much I've been playing the games on it. I keep my roommate up because i click the mouse so hard. There alot of things like this that i spend time on, time i should use for work. like the peacock picture I painted yesterday for my friend...
I just filled out my planner/ to do list for next week and i have ALOT stuff that needs to get done. I will have absolutely no time at all for things like these. At least it will all be over soon. I can smell summer
The peer revision was helpful once again. It told be what i knew of already knew but what i needed to be told. I should of started off with better topic. This paper wold of been much much much easier. I was just trying to do something different , but it did not pay off this time at all. At the beginning it really did make sense to me like at least in my head it all fit together, i just can't get my idea and thought across clearly. I am currently sitting in the laundry room, still trying to revise my whole paper.
what kind of questions lend themselves to academic research? not the one i picked! I had a feeling it wouldn't really work out and should of not been dumb and picked s better topic. I liked my topic it just is way to broad. I just went at it completely wrong. I reeeealy wish i could just start over. I basically am doing that anyway. I am spending today on my 2nd Draft because i have to post it by 11:59 tonight. It really will be like another first draft. So far i am still trying to come up with a concrete topic/question that i can find good sources on. uhhhgg
