i'm sitting here not wanting to do my work. i came hom from school and procrastinated by reading a magazine and taking a nap. when i finally got out of bed, i decided that a shower was more pressing than getting started at the computer. right now i'm working on an english assignment that is due friday (for the record, i am saying that reported speech sucks!). if i get bored of this, i could always start the paper that's also due on friday. but since that's kinda due at any time on friday and i'm to slip it under his door, like he'll know that it got there on saturday and not friday evening...!
i'm back into my awful study mode. working til the wee hours, napping in the evenings. snacking on things that are horrid for me. poopy bought me halloween-sized chips (at my request) on the cheap ($2 for a box of 75!). i figured it was good, because then i wouldn't eat more than the packaged 16g of chips. alas, i saw this one coming as soon as i saw there were 75 bags in the box - i just inhaled 3 of them (with onion dip). i had a glass of clamato earlier, and right now i'm sipping at a cup-a-soup. i'm feeling a little salty.
on a completely unrelated note...i've been told that we're too nice. i know it was as a direct result of our *kindness* at the party on saturday night, but it kinda makes me think. what's *too* nice? is it when you do stuff that no one else would do? when you go out of your way to show kindness? or when people start to take advantage of your giving nature? i guess what i'm trying to figure out is that i know that john and i are naturally very giving and generous people (especially time-wise), but when is it enough or too much? sometimes i think we have trouble distinguishing that line, and in more ways than one.
alas. back to reported speech. i said, "reported speech is tedious." i said that reported speech is tedious. she told us that reported speech was tedious. not only was i dealt a crushing blow by the passive today, but i am now being killed by reported speech. can't wait 'til carleton offers LALS 4802: major structures of english modals!
