It's the end of the world, as we know it.

So I still haven't decided what to do with my paper. I know, he said start it weeks and weeks ago, but I was an english major and papers are how I do. I'm thinking something involving web 2.0 because clearly that is what I'm interested in. I can't help that browsers make all of these social networks and folksonomical things incredibly easy to access. My del.ici.ous and twitter are part of Firefox. I totally dig that. Now, just to find some scholarly way of putting "I totally dig that" into a paper.
Not to mention the html project. I haven't been worrying about this since I have some vague html knowledge and I know C and Java for pete's sake. That will not help me here, I gather. Regardless. Panic is unbecoming.
The pathfinder that was due today with no penalty turning it in until Friday? Uh buh. I have been sincerely shirking my duties and feeling generally okay about it. I refuse to get all anxious and ill when I'm already all viral and ill. If I screw this up, then so it goes. Yes, I could have applied myself and done much better. Story of my life. I have only thrown myself full-heartedly into one thing ever. I was really good at it. But see where that got me? If you do not know my past with Jon, this is over your head, but suffice to say: trying does not guarantee success.
Not trying does guarantee mediocrity. I'm kinda cool with that. Lower expectations and whatnot, right?
Right.
Note to self: Remember to take Lisa O'Connor's class (625) next spring. Instructional something or other. That sounds helpful and I love her.
