Crossing The 10k Threshold

Today was awesomely productive, I write almost 3,000 words, and I crossed over into 10k! Working at the library really helped, and leaving my earphones behind worked too. That way I wasn't in my own little world, and nothing was distracting me other than people walking by me, but that happened intermittently, so it wasn't a big deal. Tomorrow I'm going to my first write-in this year, and I'm definitely going to get as much done as I possibly can.

Novelitis

I got into SAIC!! Yay! Now I have at least 3 schools to choose from! In other news, my word count's a little low, but I'm going to revive it before I get even further behind. Last year was worse, because I quit for a whole week! So this year I haven't quit, and I'm not going to, but I still have a chance to catch up and get ahead.

I'm so mad, I didn't get much work done. I was going to use my extra long free period to work but then I had to organize my profile for when I visit The School of the Art Institute for my Immediate Decision appointment. I've been accepted into two schools! I'm so happy! (Wow, today was bipolar...) I've been accepted into Bradley University and Loyola. Tomorrow, there is a chance that I will have three acceptances under my belt! :-D Anyway, I was just talking about how MAD I was because I didn't get much writing done. I think I might have to go on Sunday to Barnes and Noble, though only if it doesn't interfere with my plans to hang out with someone. At least I got about 300ish words. My english teacher told me that I was an awesome journalist, and it comes naturally to me!! He said that out of all the editorials he read, he liked mine the best. :-) He told e to go to Northwestern and become a journalist. I'm thinking about that now, but I kinda wanted to double major with writing and graphic design, so I don't know. And Northwestern is incredibly hard to get into, only 1 out of 3 that apply get in. I'm crossing my fingers!

8,047/50,000

Every time I pass 1,000 words, I get so excited! But I know that once I get to 10,000, it will probably only get exciting every 5,000 or 10,000 words, from my experience. I need some kind of reward system with this thing, maybe every 1,000 words I can eat a cake? Naw, I don't wanna get tooooo fat this month! Suggestions for rewards would be appreciated!

Anyway, my video that I made for the announments was supposed to be on today, but it wasn't! *gasp* I think they just didn't have enough time, or something. I saved it onto a really weird hard drive thing, so maybe they couldn't get it off in time, I don't know. I'll probably see it on Friday.

I went to the library today, and for some reason I didn't get all that much work done. I did some studying with Sara, and that was just about the most productive part of it. My laptop just is way too distracting, and the free internet at the library is just so tempting! What do I do? I go to check y mail, and I have so much stuff that redirects me to do other things, which makes me do other things too. It's like a chain reaction. maybe I just shouldn't check my mail at all when I'm at the library? I'll just turn off the Airport, even though it's so incredibly easy to turn on again...

and there are people I wanna chat with online! Those people keep distracting me too. I had some great momentum just now, until someone IMed me with a question, which led to a discussion. I think I'm just gonna have to rip out the antennas that receive the wifi. Poor Gideon, my distracting MacBook.

Speaking of the library, when I was in iTunes, it automatically picks up other people playlists, if they choose to share them. I don't know who it was, but someone had really cool music. I was gonna listen to some of his Jack Johnson songs, but then I was scared he would find out I was listening to them, and come after me. O.0

Now listening to: Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

The taste of noveling in the morning is just so delish!

Today was very successful, I wrote 2000 words! I'm going to use Thursday to have a hardcore writing marathon during my double free period. Hopefully, no one will be to distracting as I type, type, type in the A/V lab, especially SOMEONE I know, who loves to chatter and thinks he's soooo important! Arg. I bought a 4-pack of Starbucks Mocha frappucchino bottles, so that will be totally delish, as I can' have myself falling asleep on my laptop as I novel this month.

Fashion!

Was bored last night, so I made this. Song is "Fashion" by David Bowie, and I hope to put it on the school announcements very soon!

As for writing, I've done a little today so far, but I think I'll use the weekend to catch up.
