Fever 1793

Ok, so, today, I finished my acrostic project. Basically, I had to make an acrostic and then plaster it on some poster board related to the topic. So, I finally finished that at home today, the day before it's due. However, this reminds me of a past project. One that will haunt me for the rest of my life...

*cut to wavy flashback*

Ok, so, in 6th grade, I had to do a project. It was based on the book Fever: 1793. Basicly, I had to do a bunch of stuff: Write out summaries of the chapters, do some little character thing, fill out a packet... All that stuff.

However, thanks to Ian and his antics, I could never get any of it done. So I ended shoving it all off to the day before it was due. Pretty much ALL OF IT.

So I spent the whole day working on it. I HATED IT. It was the worst- well, not the worst. One of the worst days of my life. I think I got a 73% on it. Oh well. Better than a 0%.

*cut back to real life*

So please, PLEASE listen to this plea: Don't wait until the day before for ANYTHING! Even homework! I do my homework the day it's assigned, in case I have any questions! I was talking to someone who had to start and finish their acrostic today, and I felt so sorry for him. He didn't know what he was walking into.

So be forewarned, my friends. [INSERT GOOD ENDING HERE.]

New Computer!

Ian's giving me his old computer. He just recently built a new one, with separate parts ordered from different places, all high-tech stuff. He's giving me the computer with everything in it. Memory, video card... All that stuff. Can't wait to get it tomorrow.

Gnite, Mark.
