Way too many things to do. Finished the novel for NaNoWriMo...but when I say "finished," all I really mean is that I've met my goal for the wordcount. It's 60,102 words long, but in terms of plot it's no where near to being done (because a whole lot of the writing is pointless filler that will be deleted in a final version).

Humanities essay test tomorrow. Slightly looking forward to it (I know that sounds insane and I'm going to get things thrown at me [and I deserve it] but I like World War I and I like the way that IB expects us to treat things). Nonetheless, will prepare for it.

Spanish story to read. Don't want to read it -- I hear it's boring. Oh well. I find it funny as I am looking through the book that the editors specifically mention having chosen for their "entertaining nature and plotlines which will make students want to read them." Yeah. Right. Have to do the analysis questions for it, too.

Art sketchbook. I'm two pages behind, but I'll manage -- that's something I can do really quickly if necessary.

Chemistry homework, which I probably won't even touch because I don't want to.

Jane Eyre continues to like me, and I continue to like it (though at the moment the characters are being WAY TOO DUMB).

Calculus homework. Don't think I'll do it, either, though it's probably due tomorrow or soon thereafter.

On an off note, I think I am going to try next year, starting on December 25th, to read 52 books in as many weeks, like Steph J did (is doing still, I suppose). I think it's a really awesome goal. I spend so much time writing and reading that I might as well set a reachable goal for it, and I like the idea of working toward something for a long period of time. Soon I'll make a list of books I need to read which I haven't yet -- suggestions are quite welcome.

I think the reading goal is admirable. But given the sorts of books I read, I'd more likely set a time or page count per day. Have to come up with magic numbers before '07 starts. And it could all get shot to hell if I end up doing the meditation program (no reading or writing allowed) or get homework piled on in The College. Y'know?

"(because a whole lot of the writing is pointless filler that will be deleted in a final version)."

Aaaaamen.

And, um... I finished a bit ago, actually. I thought I posted that.
Anyway, if you were here, we would have a party. Maybe we could convince Luke to drive up, and we'd all have a grand old time.

Darn right it's crud!

I remember now that you finished already; my bad!

It would be awesome to have a party. Some year we will.

Maybe we'll have an awesome Stanford party.

My fingers are crossed that this may be so!

Aw, bull. You're going to Stanford, so YOU'LL have a Stanford party. Unless you mean your fingers are crossed for the rest of us. :-)

My fingers are crossed for EVERYONE. I'm an equal-opportunity finger-crosser.

And I might need it. Stanford operates on a semi-quota system, so they can't take too many people from any single area. Currently, at least 5 people from my school have already been accepted on effing sports scholarships. Because your ability to play football obviously says something about how well you'll perform in an educational institution. Gr...the pet peeve of my life.

Dracula! Have you read Dracula?

Oh, and I definitely am liking this idea... I mean, I loved it when AP mentioned it... and I love that it's brought up again, lol.

I haven't! I have to start making a list...and this will be added to it.

I hope so.

Are you SURE you aren't looking at any schools close to FL? (It's ok if you aren't.)

Don't know if this comment was directed at me or Luke, but if it is for me, then the closest I'll get to FL is Princeton. Sorry...

If this was directed at me, I'm looking at UF. But not too seriously. Thinking Oregon as a backup.

It was directed at you. Awww, Princeton's good too, though.
