THE BLOG LIVES ON!

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.s. Leave a comment!
p.p.s. Procrastination is bad!.....sometimes.
p.p.p.s. THREE POSTSCRIPTS?!

(by the way I won't keep adding more postscripts as posts go on, I'm just really excited right now)
