I am itching to get more adorable furry rodent and rodentlike pets, but I have neither the money nor the means to do this. By "means" I'm referring only to my mother's permission. My mother, the Pet Nazi.Oh well.
I have only a couple hundred dollars left of the money that was to last me until the end of the school year. This means I'll have to either get a part-time job (eeeyurrrrgh, I'm having trouble forcing myself to get my assignments done on time as it is), or go ask Daddy for an advance on next year's school cash. I prefer the job idea, since the last thing I want is to feel even more like the spoiled, white middle class only daughter I am. But anyone who's kept up with the life I've presented in this diary over the last year and a half (anyone? .. ha) knows how much of a pussy I've tended to be when it comes to finding work. Ugh. Well I don't really like that side of me, anyway. Might as well work at changing it.
I finally finished the manifesto I was supposed to hand in over a week ago. It was far too little work to've put off for so long .. what's the matter with me? Heh .. I don't know if it's any good, though. And I'm hoping that if I hand it in tomorrow, my tutorial leader will go easy on me and only knock off one letter grade. Oh well. Any mark at all is better than a zero.
Then there was this social science essay that I did horribly on. It's funny ... I'm always thinking that my wordiness and intelligence will get me through these things, but really, I forget that in university they actually want evidence that you've read and absorbed the course material. Then there's all that other crap like the quotation format, and the appendix or whatever, which I never really learned how to do. I think I even have a book that explains how to do those .. you'd think I'd actually take a look at it, wouldn't you?
I can be so irresponsible. I don't like it. I'm too old for this. Enough is enough.
Oh, my manifesto, incidentally, was about the benefits of a vegetarian diet. After rehashing all of the things I'd known for ages about the cons of meat consumption, I'm suddenly feeling this intense reluctance to eat meat. We'll see where this goes. Maybe I'll actually start applying my knowledge to my own life, for a change.
Hmmm, it seems my gerbils enjoy green pepper. I recently put a few chopped pieces of it on top of the gerbil mix in their food dish, and they're in there munching away. How cute.
Grapes are tasty. I think I'll buy some tomorrow.
I'm going to go now, for fear of more complete non-sequiturs.
