Finally, Christmas vacation is finally here! But, of course, that means more time to get working on this Maureen Dowd research project. Speaking of Maureen Dowd, I now know that i must always refer to her by her full name. Sounds better and more professional i guess...maybe more respectful towards the author. Oh and I keep forgetting to add a picture of her...well there she is up there now. I also haven't really said anything about her besides the fact that she's a writer for the The New York Times and has written the book Bushworld: Enter at Your Own Risk. So since I'm still trying to figure out this whole reading situation, for now i will focus more on the author and her history.
So where to start? Well, she was born in Washington D.C. on January 14, 1952. That Must be why she's so interested in following the lives of political figures. Oh cheese, this is a little side tracked but I use to always be confused between the difference between the capital of Washington D.C. and the state of Washington. For the longest time I didn't realize their was a difference between the two. To be honest I know the capital is on the east coast but i don't know in what state...o.k. I'm going to find out right now to end my not knowing-ness.
The capital of the United States, Washington D.C is in...o.k., it's been five minutes and I'm really confused now? Is the capital not in any state. That's so confusing...o.k. I'm going to keep looking.
....wow, o.k. so it's been a while now and I can't figure it out. From the many google searches I've been reading, it seems as if Washington D.C. is not located in any state. But how is that possible, that makes no sense. This country is made up of states so it has to be in some state, if it wasn't how could anyone get to it? O.k., to stop with this side track, I have to ask, does anyone know where the capital is located in the east coast?
Back to Maureen Dowd's life now.
Other then where she was born, Maureen Dowd has four other siblings and she is the youngest of them all. In 1973 she graduated from Washington D.C.'s Catholic University with a degree in English literature.
O.k., this is boring me. I would go through her whole life story but, hello, that's what the research paper is for. Well, I'm being a little lazy actually because all i really want to do is eat and watch t.v. and sleep and talk to my friends
I mean, can you really blame me? I'm an honor/AP student who gets very little sleep. That's not even a force. I sleep so little and I'm never not tired. I deserve a break! I mean, I have homework for the whole vacation anyways...I DESERVE TO SLEEP, EVEN IF IT'S JUST FOR A DAY!
To compensate for my wanting to my well deserved break....my one day break since i have homework for the whole vacation which i refuse to also do on Christmas day...I provided wed sites to help me remember where i found my information of her on.
Well, I will update my progress perhaps some other time this week. I mean, I'm still going to have to read for this project and other subjects i have homework for, I'm just going to put this blog on hold. So it's VACATION TIME FOR ME!!!....well until after Christmas.
