i'm on a highway to hell...

which is what I'll be if I don't start doing homework. Why is it so hard for me to get to work? I'll set everything up so my cd player starts, I have a glass of water, the pillows are comfortable behind me, and I'll look down at my clipboard to do notes, and then I'll notice that my room is dirty, or that my binder needs organizing, or that my feet are cold, the cd stopped, I have to text jamie, blah blah blah. And it bugs me but it's so hard to stop.

I had hoped to have the outline for my music history paper done last Thursday. And now, I'm leaving it aside, again. I think my problem was trying to start it early. At the latest, it's due the end of November, but I could hand it in as early as November 18th to get bonus marks. I'm always for bonus marks, especially when it's for something like handing something in early. However, after getting my midterm in that course back, I need it more than ever. I got 68%. Not cool. It's worth 20% of my total mark, but that means at most, I could get 86% in the course, and that scares me. All throughout junior and senior high I hated 80's. I hate being average. Getting back on subject, if I can do the outline next week sometime and get it okayed by my teacher, I can start my essay the following week and have it done by the 18th.

And speaking of not doing homework, instead of doing anything that I had to do tonight, I worked on part of my Hallowe'en costume. I'm going as Angus Young from AC/DC (didja notice? the title? I'm so clever). So I made my guitar. Well, S and I cut it out and attached the neck to the body yesterday, I just did all the painting/stringing today. It needs a bit of work, as the neck needs more support, and I'm missing several key parts, but this is basically what it looks like:

angus's signature SG!

S and I are going to Value Village tomorrow to finish our costumes. He's going as Ace Ventura. Hehe. Pictures of our costumes as early as Saturday night/Sunday Morning, as we are attending a party.

Now off to clear my bed, think happy thoughts, and play a little solitaire without solitude.
