Then I slept 8:30 to 11:00 Wednesday night, got up, pounded 1000 words out of myself from 12:00 to 3:00, slept again, and got up for the Thursday physics test. How was it? I really can&#8217;t tell you. It was too much of a blur for my memory to log. I <em>can <\/em>tell you that I realized that I was, after the test, more finished with my essay than I was with the multiple choice section. I worked until 2:30 AM Thursday before finally giving in to sleep, oh, that sultry, evasive bedmate. Unfortunately, at this point, I lacked a conclusion and proofreading for the last half of my essay. I took care of that on my laptop in AP Psych and PE.<\/p>\n<p>2964 words. Like a piece of my soul on a .doc. Then again, no&#8230; It&#8217;s the parts of my soul that I don&#8217;t want. The parts that are still up at 2:00 AM. I had picked a topic Sunday night. Then it went through a couple of iterations.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>Comparison of <u>The Aenied<\/u> and <u>The Iliad<\/u><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>Comparison of <u>The Aenied<\/u> and <u>The Iliad<\/u> and <u>The Odyssey<\/u><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>Conventional and contextual comparison of <u>The Aenied<\/u> and <u>The Iliad<\/u> and <u>The Odyssey<\/u><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>Differences between <u>The Aeneid<\/u> and <u>The Iliad<\/u> with conventional and contextual analysis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>Similarities between <u>The Aeneid<\/u> and <u>The Iliad<\/u> with conventional and contextual analysis<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>*Note that on Wednesday night, I learned the correct spelling of &#8220;Aeneid&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So I had to change my thesis a couple of times and I stayed up till the wee hours of 3:00AM. I&#8217;m sure my content <span class=\"strike\">didn&#8217;t suffer very much<\/span> <span class=\"strike\">suffered only a little<\/span> descended into madness towards the end.<\/p>\n<p>I probably shouldn&#8217;t say that. You see, I&#8217;m not a great CWLT student for a couple of reasons. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I don&#8217;t take very clear notes.<\/li>\n<li>I usually sugar crash 3rd period. <\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t retain much that I read unless I have a full night&#8217;s sleep and all of my blood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So that&#8217;s why I didn&#8217;t have much of a &#8220;big picture&#8221; of thought between &#8734; BC and 1700. I did what anybody not in AP European History would do. I showed up in V&#8217;s room after school every day this week in order to interrogate him for information and some analysis clarification of the texts. <\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I&#8217;m a little bit of a worrier when it comes to that class. I&#8217;m also a little worried because <strong>someone<\/strong> blew my cover! V found out that I was an avid &#8220;blogster&#8221; and says he&#8217;s seen it a couple of times. He tells me his informant was a student. Okay, fess up. Who&#8217;s the narc?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay. I promised.
