:: quick facts :: saturday, october 11

it's been a crazy week. sure, it was short, with the whole break from school. but sometimes that just means things are accordianed together into hectic chaos. that was this week. i think my tendancy to procrastinate contributed to the events transpiring as they did. first off, i've got a class in which the sole purpose to to learn how to write a lit. review in apa format for psychology journals and such. this week, i was supposed to finish summarizing 25 mind-numbingly boring articles on ptsd and turn in a rough outline from which i'm supposed to write a 10 page paper. the fact that a task this large intimidates me to the point where i just put it off combined with the fact that i never write with an outline (because i procrastinate and make it all up last minute) caused a serious motivation problem, which led to me doing it all this weekend. on top of that, i agreed to set up a screening for invisible children (see "good places to spend good money" to the left), and so this week has also been stressful trying to set that up too. but it payed off. i got to see a good friend from high school who is now touring with invisible children and we got to hang out and reminisce of the olde days. and the screening went well. not many people showed up, but the few that did were really interested in setting up more screenings for them down the road. i also got to meet two other cool folks, nick and jenni, and it's always cool to meet cool people. and they really are super cool. tomorrow brings a football game and more shenanigans, so we'll make it brief.
