It is sooo warm here today! It reminds me of the beginning of the year. Super nice outside, but the dorms suck because they have that stuffy hot feel/smell. I'm sure you all know what I mean. But its just so nice be in your room with the windows wide open......aaaaah.....it almost makes all the stresses and worries go away....but not quite. I had to work this morning from 9-12, which super sucked. Thursday night I got like 4 hours of sleep and then last night I was up hanging out until 3 and had to get up at 8. Arg....I almost couldn't get up. That isn't even the worst part either. I worked today for somebody else and when I agreed to work it I didn't realize that I work Sunday too......4-8, none-the-less. 4-8!! I don't even have homework that I can do while sitting there. All of my work is typing and researching......puke on that. I really need an escape from it.....gaming usually does it fine.....I'll find something tonight I hope......alright I'm off to see whats up in the dorm......peace....

And so concludes another Corey Research Paper Marathon. Yesterday at 8pm I had not started researching for my 6 page minimum research paper, nor had I writen anything. Granted it is the first draft, but I still had to have enough backing in my paper to make it legit. So I got done researching and typed until 3:30 a.m. Then I got up at 7:30 this morning and finished the paper(6 and a half pages, a thank you), wrote my bibliography, and typed up my 2-page outline.....all by 10:30. Man....that was a close one....I didn't think I was going to finish it or even have enough research to type up 4 pages......but I squeeked by once again....aiight I gotta shower and eat lunch and then its off to work and class!

----Sitting in Intro to Literary Studies, quickly analyzing "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
Dr. Scholtz: Well, think about it. This poem is obviously about nature and the seasons...when plants are budding, are the buds green or gold?
Me: Actually, I thought they are more a brownish color.
Dr. Scholtz:Corey.....Shut up.
And That Was That....
I was asked to comment on the Beastie Boys dissing the prez. Quite frankly, I'm so happy that they gave a taste of what is to come that I don't really care what the lyrics say. But as far as they go, the beasties have been very anti-war since the beginning of time. I remember in 98 or 99 when they recieved their MTV award for best music video (or was that most creative?) they made a statement about keeping the peace. Thats the way the b-boys are. You know how many free Tibet concerts they do! And all the charity stuff, free concerts and whatnot. So thats what I think about the new song.

oh yeah, and i got an email from my prof saying that the due date was pushed back to friday!!! YAY!!!
so I'm at the library right now. I was really stressing out because I have a research paper (first draft) due on thursday. Big problem! Especially because I hadn't really decided on what i wanted to do....and hadn't researched anything either. So I got here, checked out a book and started to write stuff down. Well....I went through two ideas and nothing panned out like I thought....so I was even more stressed! Suddenly, though, I great idea popped into my head! AIIIEEEEE!!! I couldn't get on a computer and (for all you non-writers out there) it is tremedously difficult to just free write, without typing. So I ran to the circulation desk and checked out a laptop and got it all step up. It is sure a good thing I did this because that idea didn't work either. But as I was just typing whatever popped into my mind, I stumbled upon a great topic. I got a little bit of an intro done and then decided to just go ahead and type up my outline. So I have two pages of outline (and some other musing and random stuff that I had to remind myself) and still haven't started researching. The only problem is, I'm here without a disk.....wait a minute........PRAISE THE LOOOORD!!!!! What I was going to say, was that i emailed it to myself, but I would have to retype it all again.....but I just remembered that I DO carry a disk with me in my backpack!!!! Maaaaan.....it's a good thing I typed this post, because I would've totally forgot about that disk!!! Cool peanuts!!
HOLY CRAP!!!! The Beastie Boys have provided a previously unreleased, just recorded song. It's in reply to the possible war. Check it out dudes.......brand new B-Boy song....you CANNOT go wrong!!
lets see....what to say....what to say....I'm back at school now and it is really stressful. I realized that my semester is done April 11. APRIL 11!!!! You have NO idea how much stuff needs to get done before then....ugh...it gives me a stomach ache just thinking about it. I've made steps towards making this less stressful tonight, such as beginning to research for my first speech, planning my class schedual for next year, and having my compostion proff push back a due date for a paper. Still, though, I wasted a good 2 hours tonight playing games....but I think it was worth it to do stuff with my friends here....otherwise I just become holed up in my room....and that stinks.....ummm...after supper tonight, me and my future roommates (if we get the suite, that is) were messing around and throwing snow at each other, and I got tackled from the side and landed in the snow....Yup, my glasses broke again! Same lense as last time, but this time I was able to fix it myself. I gotta be careful with these I think....I've been lacking in my posts...sorry about that....it may get sketchy for a while here, but I'll try to do better than some of those other blogs, which I won't mention. One last piece of info I got for ya before i go to bed is my present girl situation. This week could be interesting. The girl I asked out at the beginning of the year has started talking to me again. Even better, she is in music methods, low brass class, and needs to get a lesson from a trombone player. Thats where I come in! Yup, she asked me to do her lessons. hee hee heeeeee! hmmm....I just lost my train of thought....so this blog will have to be finished later....but you can imagine what I was going to say....
