Stress Up To My Eyeballs

This is partly my fault really. We had three or more weeks to do a book in my Digital Design for Artist's Books class, but being the chronic procrastinator that I am, I put it off until the week before it was due... more specifically, it was put off until Saturday and Sunday. I think I did a pretty good job for having done most of the work in two days.

The story was one that I wrote a while ago for a Spanish Creative Writing class last semester. I liked it, however, I had to adapt it to a picture book... which meant I pretty much changed the whole story. I think I like this one better. Maybe I'll post them side to side and have you all decide.

All I have to do now is cut and adhere the cover and then I'm all set. I hate some of the illustrations, but I can't change that now.

For more added stress, I have a quiz in my next class. It pretty much sucks because we had to watch a movie on our own time... who does that? Why not just watch it during class time? Seriously though, I haven't seen it yet and my prof. says that there are some questions about the movie on the quiz... just my luck.

On Friday, when I had all intentions to start my book, I had to do a stupid annotated bibliography... I really don't see the point in them. They don't help me at all... but I understand that some people swear by 'em. That's not me though. I had to finish it by 11:59 and turned it in a 11:52... bad timing... but at least it was done. That's the class where I constantly watch myself because the prof. knows my mom.

I do understand that if I hadn't put off any of this, the feeling of hoplessness wouldn't be that great... but it's a habit that I find is very, very, very, very hard to break.

On another note... the new Nancy Drew game comes out tomorrow. I already pre-ordered the download which I'm regretting not pre-ordering the boxed version so I could have played it during the weekend.. but maybe that was best not to have it on Saturday because of the all the stuff I had to do. I commend my foresight.

Anyway, a good friend of mine already has. She didn't preorder it but bought it at Best Buy... which I think is against the rules, but whatevs. Needless to say, I'm not talking to her until after Tuesday... that's not cool in my book for some reason. :) Just kidding... but not about the ignoring her until Wednesday part.

I think it's safe to say that any homework this week will be put off even further due to the game. I blame HerInteractive and Nancy Drew. It's never my fault!
