Nov. 13th, 2012 11:14 pmOkay, so, I don't know who started the "abbreviate EVERYTHING" trend, but it aggravates my nerves. I understand doing it in texts. When it carries over to actual speech, though, argh. It's the one thing that throws the generation gap between me and Heather in my face. Between her, A, and Marilyn (who's awesome, by the way--why can't Heather be dating HER? XD;), I hear, on a daily basis: totes for totally, probs for probably, BT dubs for by the way... and there was another one. I can't remember now. But it's like UGH. STOP IT. Use your words. -_- I feel old for complaining about it, but still.
Group project progress has moved forward a bit. We have a story now. Jack is being annoying because he's a little too obsessed with our ability to get the Kogi civilization exactly right, but we're writing fiction and we're allowed to take liberties. Anyway, five of us are writing backstory for a character and I forget what the sixth person is doing. I'm writing backstory on the main boy character, which means I have to find out exactly what goes on in training in the caves, and then try and flesh him out a bit. And I have to make up a name. Yeah. Going to work on it tomorrow, because I'm tired and don't feel like I'll be able to concentrate on it. I feel like I'll be out as soon as my head hits the pillow. This whole project would be so much easier if we didn't have to write about this group of people. Then again, I guess that's why it's our final project.
Broke my headphones yesterday and ordered a new pair today. Dad said he'll glue the plastic that broke back together, and if he can do that, I'll just have two pairs, that's all. I taped the HELL out of them. I keep having to add tape (I used masking tape) because the way I taped it, the pad doesn't sit on my head properly unless the tape's really stiff, and it doesn't stay that way, so I have to adjust it.
Heather may not be going on her field trip after all due to some scary health issues she's having. She's gotten close to fainting three times in three days. Today she didn't go anywhere all day except to Muddy for some food around 6pm, and I'm not even sure she actually ate much. She slept all day. Her field trip is to Baltimore, and she's worried about what will happen if she still has issues down there. She's going to talk to one of her professors (who may also be her advisor), Health and Wellness, and probably the dean, too, to see what they say. They know about the problem, and her marine bio professor can't force her to take the trip if there are medical problems.
Completely unrelated: Just watched a rather long clip (a little more than half the episode) of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. MY CHILDHOOD. I miss that show so much. And Rockapella. <3
