punkins and the worst hours of my college career

Well, how do I start this? punkins or worst day? We'll go with the bad news first? I guess, so the good news can make you happy at the end :)

Well you see, I had a business plan assignment, that I have written about and I thought it would be easy and it turns out that it wasn't, not at all.

It was due today, so of course I worked on it here and there thinking oh, it won't be a big deal. I came back Sunday evening around 4:00 and started working on it then I took a little nappy poo then went to work at 11p-2:15a. Then I went to bed about 2:45 and got up around 8 to see if someone ever wrote me back because I wanted to see if I could get someone to switch me shifts so that I could work on my project from 10-1 instead of all night.. well.. that didn't happen so I went to work from 10-1, and I was going to skip my 2:00 class (mind you I have only ever purposefully skipped class twice in my entire college career! Once was PE where we were going to have to go up 12 flights of stairs, not happening!, and the second time was my night class because it was my friends 21st birthday and I wanted to go!) Well anyway.. I WAS going to skip my class.. but I looked at the slides and we had something due during class, for points, which we NEVER have.. so I went to class... I got back around 3:30 and started working on my project again at 4.

Then I had dinner from 5-6 with my friend Lacy, then worked on it pretty steady until 11:30p. when I decided that I was entirely too stressed and sleepy from working the night before. So I went to bed, and told myself that I was going to get up at 5am, well for some reason I woke up at exactly 4am with no alarm going off, nothing, so I got up and started working on my project. It's a pretty good thing I did because I worked from 4am until 7, took a shower, started back up at 7:30 and worked nonstop until 10:45.

I got to the computer lab at 10:50, printed it out and realized that it was landscape instead of portrait. great. (which meant I also submitted it to my teacher in landscape.. hmm hope I dont' get counted off for that) So I put it to portrait really quick and hit print at 10:57am, and of course my table of contents was completely off, but I didn't have time to fix it so I just left it (Is he seriously going to check to see if they are right?) anywho.. I ran to class and was probably like a minute late.. but it was all good.. I got it done. I have NEVER in my life been rushing like that on an assignment. It was so difficult and I really underestimated the time that it would take to do it all. I'm sure I didn't even do it right at all and I know I spent 12+ hours on it. I'm pretty sure it's more than that.. but that was just over the past few days.. anyway.. then I had class from 11-12:15, and a test at 2:00.. yeah it was a pretty horrible day and now I'm super sleepy but still need to work on homework so I can catch up and never feel rushed ever again. It was a lesson that is for sure. Never ever wait to do something, I'm telling you take it from me. Just do it a little at a time.. it's so much easier.. I hope I remember this when I'm workinng on 900 other projects this semester.. and next :( I am SO sorry about all of the run-on sentences.. I have a major problem with that. I don't understand how I get A's on papers.. bleh..

Anyway.. I told you it was kind of depressing and I'm sure you all don't really care, but anyway now onto the Punkins!

I was determined to carve a pumpkin this weekend. I even printed out some awesome templates from here. And here are instructions on How to Carve a Fancy Pumpkin!

So here they are. Liz's is on the left (Cat in the Moon) and mine is on the right (Frankenstein) They are pretty cool looking if you ask me :) I think it would have been cooler if Liz would have shaved the moon a little deeper but it's still pretty awesome! You should try it!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
