I think all I have done today, besides going to class, is play Cafe World and upload my fic to Archive Of Our Own. (Note to self: February 1.) I have 37 stories up there right now, which isn't bad. I purposefully didn't port a few over, because I didn't like them or they weren't long enough to suit. Going through all of my fic has not exactly instilled me with the feeling that I'm a great writer, but hell, I haven't actually WRITTEN anything in how long? A disgusting amount of time.

Now before I go to sleep, I promised my little sister I would edit her essay on the Death With Dignity Act in Oregon and how it compares to the Terri Schiavo case. It is taking every ounce of self-control I have to not completely rewrite the damn thing, because even though Rachael believes the DWDA is a good thing, she's arguing against it because that's the position her teacher takes. It's nice to see such blatant political pushing in a high school English class. I told her she should argue what she believes and if the teacher fails her because of her stance, bring it to the principal and get her officially reprimanded, but it's due in the morning so she didn't have time to, you know, be true to her own ideals.

There is so much wrong with the education system in this city. Well, the nation, but this city specifically.

I'm starting to get tension headaches again from clenching my jaw. This is not entirely unrelated to my sister's essay, but it does predate it.

I got an A- on my Personality test. That's 1/3 of my entire grade in the class. I am satisfied with that.

I have another test in Botany in, uh, nine hours. On the practical side of things, not the book-learning test I aced. I'm not as optimistic about identifying foliage.

I have about 150 pages left of Fool's Fate. It's at a really depressing point right now. I had to put the book aside for a while. I'll probably finish it tomorrow.

I promised music, and I found out yesterday that Death Cab For Cutie has a new song out. It's on the New Moon soundtrack, which... ugh, but: it's new DCFC, so I'll take it any way I can get it.
