Alice is dying
She seems to be dying more quickly than she once was. Now to get her to boot at all I have to go to the boot menu when she starts up and manually choose that I want her to boot from the hard drive. I have no idea what that means. But I think it's not a good thing.

I feel like a bad mother
I just spent the evening cutting out parts of my very first article, so I can present it in my allotted 15 minutes at the writers showcase. I've cut it from 23 pages to 11. I still need to get it down one more page, I think, the problem is that if I cut much more out, it won't make sense. Not to mention, I feel like I'm cutting the extremities off of my baby.
The Battle of Pea Ridge
This is what a Civil War battlefield looks like:
Today, I went on a class field trip to Pea Ridge. The trip was relatively uneventful, and my mini-speech for class went well. However, everyone in the class did a mini-speech, and many of the people decided to do a not-so-mini-speech, and that, unfortunately, is boring. Very very boring. At some points I wanted to poke my eyes out. I wish my professor would have just spoken the whole time. He's boring, but at least he's a decent speaker and he knows what he's talking about.
The trip down there was interesting though. I drove, and I had my friend do the navigating. But there was a mix up of some sort on Google's end, and we ended up going down this little country road (Wimpy Jones Road, for those of you keeping score) which was totally unneccessary and got us no where. Seriously. After driving down it for what seemed like forever, we ended up back on the highway we started from. It was really, really strange.
That's when I made her ask for directions. (Sometimes real people are better than Google.)
The trip was supposed to take just under two hours, but because of our minor setbacks (that is plural, because I only told you the funniest one) it took 2 and a half hours to get there. It was a good thing we left a half hour early.
Anyway, I got home this afternoon, and immediately fell asleep forever... We're talking a 5 hour nap (that was supposed to be only one hour), so now I'll probably be awake all night. Dumb.
This entry is going no where. I have nothing else to say.
These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

What? Famous People?
Today, I went to a "probama" rally. I'm not usually the type to go to any kind of politically affiliated event, but a friend wanted me to go with her... because these two chicks from television were speaking. I don't at all know who they were. All I know is that one was from "Heroes" and the other was from "the Office." I also know that they were both really short. Now will show you a picture.
One thing I have to say for Obama... He's sure got cooler celebrity fans *couAmandaPalmergh* than McCain, that and he doesn't have a Sarah Palin. However, he could have had a Hillary... Then all would be right in the world.

Where does all the time go?
You would not believe how incredibly busy I am all the time. I thought that after last week I would have free time, or at least some time to just, I don't know, do noting. So far that hasn't worked out. I have been working constantly on homework, and between the work I have for my two actual classes, I have no time whatsoever to even think about working on my thesis. Omg. I'm never going to get it finished. I'm going to fail school, and then I will die a sad and lonely life with no sex. That would be a shame.
In other news, I listened to the new Ben Folds album when it came out a couple of days ago. I felt it was my duty since Amanda loves him, and since Regina Spektor sings on the one song with him. Sad to say... I just really don't like his style. Lyrics, yes. Style, no. So... yeah... that was sad for me.
Now I must work on a bibliography... then prepare for my class. After that, I'm going with my roommate on a field trip to a book store. It's supposed to be the best in town. We'll see about that. I'll report back later.
