Paper's Due Tomorrow And I'm Talking Funny

There aren't enough cuss words in enough languages to express my distaste for my paper. Even Muse's little ode to the F-word isn't going to cover it.

I've made progress, yeah. Question 1 is finished, Question 2 needs another hour of work, Question 3 is 4 definitions and a hand grenade from being blown apart, along with the rest of the paper, and don't even ask about Question 4.

Probably some really concentrated effort (read this as: No Internet connection to my computer) would get me done fairly late tonight, but I think I'll crash earlier so that I can get up early and pound the damn thing to pieces.

Hopefully by tomorrow morning at 11 I'll be able to send the little f-word b-word off to the professor. And I WOULD take the rest of the day off, except that (hee hee) I have math homework AND four stories to read, three to review. THEN the rest of the week is mine.

By the way, I got caught at another British-ism today. I was going on about my paper to this guy, (who coincidentally is going to pull an all-nighter to finish his) but I was saying that this paper was taking the mickey out of me.

He called me on it, saying he'd never heard it before. It means that it was wearing me out, and I explained this...and then realized I had done it again. British English jumping into my Midwestern dialect.

I am blaming Muse for this one. I've been listening to their interviews from different countries and stuff while on my breaktime from The Paper, and they're all British, and so you can probably guess where it came from this time.

It doesn't help that I've heard Matt Bellamy's voice more this month than my own mother's, but Mum's not cheap to call with the phone card and he's free to hear on Youtube all the time, so there.

I did it again. It's in my subconscious. Next thing you know I'll be spelling check as cheque, and lever as louver, and eating Marmite (no, I don't know what that is, but apparently it's some sort of spread made with olives and Matt Bellamy has stated loudly that he HATES it with a passion. Which means I'm going to HAVE to try it, if only to find out if I side with the drummer (who loves the stuff) or the lead singer.)

Hey, at least it's not Vegemite. Wait, that's Australia...

I should get back to working on my paper, but I'm taking an hour off. After that difficult math test I think I deserve a little break here.

Gotta go-Heroes starts in 45 minutes (YAY)

Cheerio (dash it all) (look, I can't stop! I can't stop!)
