Well, once again I have too much homework and no time to do it... and I'm crazy for thinking I can get anything done when I go home for the weekend. Actually, I DID get over three pages of my contemporary lit paper written this weekend, and I would have finished it, but I accidentally left one of the stories I needed in my dorm. So when I go back to college tonight (I have to stay for supper--Mom's making turkey because there's actually people here to eat it) I'll have to finish that--AND do my criticism homework that I don't understand, AND do my psychology homework. I didn't get any work done at all in my thesis or my criticism project, and I'm going to have to present my thesis, at the lastest, around May 11th. AAARRGH. Jumping out a window sounds really great right now. No, I'm joking... mostly. I'll just be glad when all this is over... and then I can worry about finding an apartment and grad school and a job and



ENOUGH OF THAT! ON TO HAPPY THINGS!

Besides writing my essay, I've spent my time at home watching movies with my parents, practicing dance, seeing a movie with my friend Liz, hanging out with my Aunt Monica who was here, and babysitting my nieces. I saw this old movie staring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope with my parents, and Mom and I both agreed that it's not fair that Bing always gets the girl at the end, especially considering Bob's funnier. Liz and I saw Monsters Vs. Aliens, which was really good, and I totally ship Susan/Dr. Cockroach and I hope I'm not alone in that. Last night I watched Bolt with my nieces, and that was also very good. In fact, I nearly cried. I'm getting too emotional lately. Yesterday we had a birthday party for my dad (his birthday was yesterday) and my sister-in-law (her birthday is tomorrow), and Mom made German chocolate cake. My dad and older brother kind of went crazy over it... my nieces say that Mom should make a different cake next time, though.

Easter was good. We didn't really have any kind of big dinner or anything, though, besides that turkey tonight, but I think that'll just be my parents, my brothers, my sister-in-law, my nieces, and me. Maybe Grandpa will be here too, I don't know. But we did go to church. I love the Easter service because we sing two of my favorite hymns, "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (Aaaaaaaaaalleluia!) and "Up from the Grave He Arose" (he arose!). Yay Easter music.

I'll have no time to waste online this week, and for many weeks following, so I'm going to at least try to not go online very much from now on. You know, the usual promise I make that I usually end up breaking. But I need to focus. I will still update on Sundays, though. I'm in too much of a rut to change that.
