Happy Inauguration Day!....and midterms

Today is the day Obama becomes, well now is officially president of the United States. Just to comment, his speech was not like his other speeches. I was almost confused. There were no "yes we can's" at all. It almost felt empty. But then when I thought about what he was saying, I mean he did say a lot about what our country needs to do to "Lift ourselves up." That was a new one. I don't know why but that line stuck out to me. His message is still the same, but it seems like the "yes we can's" have now shifted into a solid plan of action. It's always been serious but I guess its now more serious serious, which is good because this country needs a serious president in charge. inauguration

I was reading some of Maureen Dowd's articles and it's amazing how she followed the political campaign the whole way through. I actually knew what she was talking about with things that happened. I don't think I've ever cared so much about what was going on in politics. Well that's also probably because President...(is it Mr. now?)...Bush has been in office for eight years.

Well as for my reading progress, I should be almost done with everything...

I will be almost done today if I read non-stop until forever. So that is what I will do....after I finish other homework, plus this week is midterm week.

No More Crying

Here's what it is.

I am sick of my own complaining. I am annoyed that I keep saying I'll get things done (although I do mean it when I say it) and then I only get a little done. I have a lot of work to get done, but you know what, boo hoo to me, I'm being a cry baby and I never use to be like that.

I'm not doing the work I know I can do. I'm wasting my own potential. Why can't I be the me who gets everything done a week before it was due. What happened to the me who would never complain about anything but would get things done, and get it all done extremely well. Well I'm still me and I need to need to snap out of this mental vacation because that's not getting me anywhere. I'm holding myself back.

Well enough is enough.

I WILL FINISH MY RESEARCH THIS WEEKEND. I WILL PASS EVERYTHING IN ON TIME. I WILL GET A GOOD GRADE BECAUSE I CAN.

Period. The end.

First Project Meltdown of the year!

It's the new year and I am extremely worried (This post is mostly a rant because I've been thinking about it way to much this morning and I need to get it out). I have no clue how I'm going to do this. I had two weeks to do all my homework. Two long weeks and somehow it's Friday of the last week of this vacation. Like I don't know what happened. I was suppose to be done with my history reading and homework and mini project since last Friday. That's what I planned. But no, I finished it today...an entire week later.

This is extremely not good. How am I suppose to get through a whole book and 11 more months of articles? Like I really do not know what to do right now. Like not only do I have to read but I have to do all those bibliographies and what not. AND OMGOSH I have to pass in work from a while ago so I have to remember to pass all that stuff in.

I am extremely overwhelmed right now...I need to buy a planner, the agenda books are not working for me, it's too small, my life can not fit in that small agenda book.

AND I CAN'T FIND MY PROJECT BINDER WITH THE MONTHS OF ARTICLES IN IT AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL WEEK which means now I have to reprint everything....

joy...
