Writer's Block

Gah, why did I have to pick the one Eng 101 class that was all composition? It's horrible. I have a 'descriptive narrative' essay due on Sunday, and I'm just not doing well. I can't write anymore. I'm thinking I was never a good writer to begin with, but I could at least think up things to write about. I have to muddle my way through this class somehow, some way, but there's nothing there. I'm a blank page w/no pencil.

Rob bought a new used computer today. It's very annoying because these spyware pop-ups keep appearing saying the registry is corrupted, but if you buy this program & download it, it'll fix it right up. Hopefully he'll be able to play WoW once I get all the downloads & updates installed. We're going to go & get him some virus protection of some kind tomorrow - we should have picked it up while we were at Wal-Mart earlier, but I wasn't thinking.

Tomorrow we go w/the in-laws to the Goulash Pot for birthday lunch, woo. The mil is another year older. That woman is never going to die. I ought to give her my 'Always a Pallbearer, Never a Corpse' t-shirt.

English essay achieved

I hit upon using my lj entry from way back in last Noremember to write a 'descriptive narrative' essay about my trip to BodyWorlds. So the professor wants 2 pages, 12pt font, double-spaced. After formatting, my lj was 13 pages. Yowza. So I had to slash & burn 11 pages worth of writing. Ah well, such is the life of writing. It all ends up on the cutting room floor.

Whenever I get out of my accounting class, I feel as though all the wrinkles in my brain have smoothed out. I feel like a blank slate, only all my chalk is missing. I got a D on the last test, but I'm holding down a C average in the class itself, and I'm right in w/the other student averages, so I guess I'm doing ok. I like knowing how everyone else is doing so I don't feel like such a moron. The past 2 math quizzes have been fairly easy. It's like, "Hail, Geometry!"
