I'm procrastinating. I should be writing my huge paper that's due in two weeks (which is really a good chunk of my remaining school work for the term). I started an hour ago and I've written 400 words. The paper is supposed to be like 5000. Ah, I think I better keep writing.

Things have been happening though! That's why I want to update. Phil still hasn't emailed but I'm not worried about that. He's probably busy. Like I should be. But I started to tell someone about the crush I sometimes I have (it's like having the flu - it comes and goes, and you wonder what the hell happened) and it turns out the guy is eleven years older than I am. Um, he was graduating from high school when I was finishing first grade. Ew. Then one of my friends who never drinks showed up drunk. Plus, things have just been moving along. My advisor was sick, I fell asleep during the movie I was watching... the one that I was watching for my paper. Oh well.

I started a journal I draw in. It's an outlet - an escape from my writing on nice lined paper. So I draw in pencil crayon and write crazy things next to my little sketches. It's cute. I need a pencil sharpener, though. I seem to have come to school without one and the only one I'm aware of is one of those electrical ones in the department office. It's scary and eats lead. Fine if it's a cheap pencil, but these are my pencil crayons. I need them to draw for my sanity! And to prevent writer's block (like the bad case I had last term that I used as an actually effective excuse to hand in an assignment late).

I think that's all for now. I just am all jittery. I think it's the oncoming need to write papers. I want to get it done so badly that I can't actually sit down and work. It's a great state to be in!
