insulated drapes

so apparently covering my windows with plastic (as per the advice of three or four of my friends) is a BAD idea for keeping me warm. I need insulated drapes. Wonder how much that's gonna set me back.

And why does everyone feel like it hot in my apartment when I am ALWAYS freezing. Geez.

Oh, and happy birthday to someone important. You're still important.


22:22 last statistics thought paper typed and gone. It's funny how you start off with all those good intentions of thinking critically and taking the time to read the chapter and understand it. I even made a point of saying mean things about people who didn't write thought papers that displayed critical thinking...and yet here I am, the end of term, sending off a thought paper with no critical thought, no passion....I hate that. I didn't think this would happen in grad school. I didn't think I would be so busy that I would slack off...I didn't think I would be lazy. I didn't think I would be so lazy that even knowing I would get a poor grade wasn't enough to whip me into a critical thinking frenzy. Not that this is an issue in statistics. No, sup doesn't care. But Self? Woe The Self. Interesting class. Sure wanted to work hard...until I started getting the same grade and the same, completely useless comments every week. "Comma Usage, Page 78, APA" I swear I will snap if this week's paper has that comment. I mean really. I've read the damn section three times now. Maybe give me some feedback that's useful: Like what it is i'm doing wrong! The fact that I go through each comma in the paper to check whether I have used it appropriately and still manage to have thousands of circled comma's post-grading should mean something.

Anyway, I wish Pop were home. Or Smileys. Only gone for a couple of days and I am lonely for male attention. Kinda pathetic. Thank God I am drowning in work that I am uninterested in doing.
