forever, forever ever, forever ever ever?

Sorry it's been so long! Okay, it's only been like three days, but still. It feels like a long time to me. Problem is, there's not been much going on here. I'm going to Edinburgh tomorrow for the weekend to visit friends (i'm SO excited), so I won't be on here again until monday or so. I'm on my second paper this week, and it sucks, and I can't make myself finish it, and it sucks, and I have no work ethic, and did I mention it sucks? I've only got a page and a half, but it sucks. And I need to finish it by the time I leave tomorrow morning at 9am. Good thing I didn't wake up until 2 this afternoon... See, there *are* good reasons to sleep in!

I've really been missing my drum and guitar lately. There's a guitar here, but it's not the same, and the action is really high on it and the strings are mediums, so it is hard for me to play, especially without a pick. My right thumb hurts from strumming! But I did get to sing a little tonight uninterrupted, since the house was nearly empty. I sat in the conservatory alone and belted out some of my favorites as loud as I wanted, and it was really nice.

I haven't left the house today. Not even to walk outside. That is alarming, but they had fish for dinner, so there was no reason for me to drag myself to the dining hall. I can't wait until I get to pick what I have for dinner again. And my mom's cooking... I'm getting misty-eyed just thinking about it. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family, but my mom's biscuits (the real, Southern kind, not the british "another word for cookie" kind) and her vegetable soup and beef stroganoff and lasagna and fried chicken and ... I need to stop. Can't type through the tears... :)

Anyways, I've only got this paper and then I'm done with papers for the term! That should make me want to write it, but it doesn't. I'll finish some more of it tonight, then work on it sunday night/monday morning when I get back, hand it in to Jane for proofreading, get it back that night, edit it Tuesday morning and turn it in. It'll be fine.
