I've done it! Posting for the fifth time is something that most bloggers don't do...they merely start one and then after three or four posts give it up. BUT I WILL PERSEVERE! (yes, that required uppercase. imagine Mel Gibson in Braveheart yelling those words and you'll get a sense of what inner me is feeling right now.)
On to other things!
So I wrote and turned in my first college paper today, which I'm very proud of. Admittedly, I probably shouldn't be too proud of the topic that I wrote it on: an Ethical Reasoning paper on why it's unethical to feed starving people. It was difficult at first to find points to write on, but I finally figured some out and then emailed it off and just like that it was done.
See, the reason I'm so proud of this is that I absolutely suck at writing papers. I took AP Language/Composition in 11th grade, and hated all the papers I had to write because the topics were so confusing and whenever I'd think of something that seemed like a good point for my paper, I'd start writing and then realize I had just written in a counterargument to my point. The teacher also dressed like she was 16 (she was around 30) which gave the class a whole 'nother sketchy edge that I didn't really like. I also took AP English in 10th grade and absolutely hated my teacher. I once wrote a paper for him and he gave it a 5/9 (in AP scoring, that's about an 80) because he didn't like the topic it was written on. Just the topic. Nothing else.
Maybe I just hate English because of the teachers I had. But then that's just blaming it on other people. But I don't really care. It was my teachers.
In other school-related news, I'm now majoring in Computer Science as well as Theater. I'm not taking any theater classes this semester, but I am taking a computer science class that is strikingly easy for me (I took the AP exam in 11th grade and got a 5, which should have placed me out). I'm actually trying to figure out the assignments for the next two weeks so I can get them done, but she hasn't posted them yet. Ah well. I guess I'll just go to sleep. No point in staying awake.

p.p.s. Procrastination is bad!.....sometimes.
