writer's block

a few weeks ago, in my hardest class, dance teaching techniques, my professor told us that are final projects were going to be due early. at first, i felt annoyed and rushed, but then i realized that after it was done, the final week and a half of school would be cake! the next two days after this announcement my remaining classes had almost identical announcements! and, my dance teaching tech. professor decided to give us a final paper and exam on top of our projects. why is it necessary for me to have finals almost two weeks early???? i'm convinced its a conspiracy against me! hahah.... but then again, it seems i'm always convinced the world is out to get me somehow! haha!
so my dance project is finished, i present tomorrow, and i should be witting my paper, because i'm only on page three of the required eight. but i can't seem to create enough filler bullshit to get my point across. i'm not a writer, and so writer's block comes very easily to me. i also just assume that every knows exactly what i'm talking about. i wish i could just have a discussion about my paper instead of actually having to write it!!!! i may go insane writing about my dance teaching philosophy... BAH!
funny that i can always write a long post about almost nothing, but i can't seem to write my paper about my passion! i'm secretly hoping that blogging may unlock something deep in my brain and allow me to get this stupid thing done! yeah... i doubt it too! ha!

lent... and more of life...

SOOOO.... my friend meredith and i decided to go on an adventure for lent. if you have no idea what i'm talking about... wiki it! or just rent the movie "40 days and 40 nights" with josh hartnet. basically during lent, you choose to give up something (usually a vice) for 40 days, starting on ash wednesday (this past wednesday) and it ends on easter sunday. that's more or less why mardi gras is such a huge party day, because its the day before lent starts! in the movie, josh (yes we're on a first name basis) gives up sex... well meredith and i are only giving up facebook! it should be a huge adventure! we had other people change our passwords and everything. i'm already missing it. which goes to show that this is really something i needed to do. i clearly spend too much time on facebook for my own good. i'm hoping that i'll be much more productive and maybe even more adventurous... i'll certainly be blogging more to sort of replace the void facebook has left in my life! wow! that makes me sound so lame.... freaking facebook left a void... yeah... this is most definitely for the better!!!!!
moving on to other adventures...
i registered for my last 4 college classes only moments ago, and i could not be more thrilled to truly see the end. i'm not sure why, but i just feel more free. i still don't have a plan for my life after graduation (which of course scares me), but i'm starting to be okay with that. i know that i have options, and time. i also know that time will continue to fly, so its a good thing i'm a goal oriented person... all i really need is a good idea and i could be set.
life as thrown me some interesting curve balls lately, but i think i'm starting to get the hang of this batting thing! i'm done with all this stress caused by things i can't control. it really takes the fun out of life! i've taken my deep breath, i've counted to ten... i'm ready to start living my life again!!!
