So, when this theatre thing says "approximately 3000 words in length", am I going to get knocked off for it being much closer to 4000? Because this is even without a lot of the stuff that I had intended to put in there; it's maybe 2/3 of all the stuff I wrote over the semester and a half so far.

Edit: Well, damn. You know it's late when I was somehow thinking that I was only 100 words over, and not 1000. That is way too much. *starts trimming*

Ah, bugger it. I've been actually working on it for about 3 hours, more or less straight, so that's impressive. Because a lot of what I first wrote was rambly as I was writing about the rehearsal I was observing as it was going on and such, so I had to not only type a bazillion pages worth of crap but fix and rewrite it all too.

Now onto the math. Grr. As I don't know how I'm supposed to do this thing as it gives us a bunch of data and I know the type of equation I'm supposed to extrapolate (it's half-life of a malaria drug), but my calculator won't do that. So, umm, I'm just going with the best thing the calculator can give me. Because I still have a lot of history to learn (as he didn't frakking teach anything, as usual), a bio lab to finish, and a 3 paragraph english thing to write after that. The only one that actually might get done tonight (as it has to) being the math, however. Everything else can be done shittily in the morning or during the day.

Last day before spring break, though, yay for that. After this, it's mostly all review for finals and such in my harder classes, and all the major paper type things are done save one more in English, I think. Good.

Staying awake purely thanks to the power of Diet Dr. Pepper and slightly stale popcorn. (It shouldn't be stale as I only made it last night and this stuff lasts forever because it's made in the actual popcorn machine type thing, but it rained late last night and was horridly humid both inside and out and that killed it slightly. Still tastes good, just have to chew it longer.)

At my uni, things were always +/- 10% so anything from 2700-3300 words would be fine :D

Don't you mean you have to masticate it for longer? Whee!
I learned that word recently and have completely destroyed its comic value by using it as much as possible. Plz. Sorry.

Ugh, my calculator died. Is yours one of those awesome graphic ones? That's the one that died for me. I've been stuck using my little old scientific one. Which is all well and good when you're doing trig, but once you hit the fun bastard graphs it kind of goes downhill.

Why am I talking about this? Um.

YAYSPRINGBREAK.

*lmao* I wish Diet soda would keep me awake. Hehe, I'm either awake too much or sleeping too much most of the time.

Sounds like you're going to be busy. I'm so not looking forward to college, and I need to sort my schedule out eventually. Or I'm going to get nervous and just freaking not go again *sighs*

Love your take on stale popcorn - I'd have bitched and thrown it out. An optimist? nice... *smiles*
