You can NOT live without it!

Anyone who uses Wordpress needs this plugin, it is the Twlight: AutoSave plugin. A cookie is created while you are typing an entry, and then when something goes wrong and your mile-long entry is gone in a flash, Twilight: AutoSave has your entry stored within a cookie which is accessible for a week (long enough to go back in and save it!)

Anyone ever mess with Movable Type? Rose has had been talking, (well writing about would be a better way to state that) about it, so i decided to mess with it today. BAD experience. First off, It took quite a long time to get the program (I guess thats what it would be called) installed, then running. Then I attempted to export the database from wordpress and import it. Guess what! It didn’t work. I’m quite content with wordpress, but I am still interested in Movable Type. If anyone knows of a tutorial or walkthrough of how to convert wordpress posts to MT posts, please share with me.

EDIT: I already know about MikeT of Codemonkeyrambling’s tutorial. It failed to work for me.

Anyways, on a more non-techy note, I am half-way through finals week. I was able to finish my speech, and managed around 8 minutes in length (pretty good without using notecards). Tomorrow, Friday, and Monday are the days I am dreading the most. Spanish finals, days of preterite, imperfect, subjunctive, and perfect past tenses and then future, subjunctive, imperfect the oh so wonderful tenses of the present and future! I am dreading it. I was planning on taking Spanish V and VI next year, but I’m not too sure anymore, considering my poor ability to remember tenses, but luckily I can understand and somewhat speak and write it.

Out of curiosity, which of these appeals to you more?

Ciara's DogRobby's Dog

The one on the left is our families dog, Sasha, and the dog on the right is our my sister’s friend Robby’s dog. There was a poll on MyYearbook and Sasha won by close to 83%. I just want to see if the same views hold true elsewhere.

A week later and I’m…

DONE! :D
The stupid essay that I spent forever working on is FINALLY done. 17 pages of The Scarlet Letter and Nathaniel Hawthorne. I can’t lie and say I enjoyed working on it—because I didn’t. In fact, I have a vast majority of my stuff done and the rest of the semester should be smooth sailing.

As for finals, heres the crap they’re making us do

Spanish IV

  • Speaking - 5 situations
  • Grammer
  • Translation
  • Writing
  • Listening

English

  • Final Essay (Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter
  • Final Speech
  • Listening & Essay
  • Regents (23rd and 24th)

Note Taking

  • Finish Notes
  • Finish Worksheets on Theory
  • Finish Makeup Dictations
  • Final Exam, Wahoo! Monday

Drawing and Painting II

  • Finish Billiard Balls in Oil
  • Finish Rose in Oil
  • Finish Judy Garland in Acrylic
  • 100 word essay - EASY!!!

So the next week shouldn’t be too bad, but I will actually have classes when the next semester starts. Instead of

Pd 1/2 - Spanish IV
Pd 3/4A - Note Taking
Pd 3/4B - Gym
Pd 5/6 - Lunch/Activity
Pd 7/8 - American Literature
Pd 9/10 - Drawing and Painting II

I will have

Pd 1/2A - Chemistry Lab
Pd 1/2B - Gym
Pd 3/4 - Chemistry
Pd 5/6 - Algebraic Trig.
Pd 7/8 - Lunch/Activity
Pd 9-10 - American History

Should be a nice change, but It’ll take some getting used to. I’m a creature of habit.

The Procrastinator’s Creed

Written: January 6, 2007 at 9:21PM EST

  1. I believe that if anything is worth doing, it would have been done already.
  2. I shall never move quickly, except to avoid more work or find excuses.
  3. I will never rush into a job without a lifetime of consideration.
  4. I shall meet all of my deadlines directly in proportion to the amount of bodily injury I could expect to receive from missing them.
  5. I firmly believe that tomorrow holds the possibility for new technologies, astounding discoveries, and a reprieve from my obligations.
  6. I truly believe that all deadlines are unreasonable regardless of the amount of time given.
  7. I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.
  8. If at first I don’t succeed, there is always next year.
  9. I shall always decide not to decide, unless of course I decide to change my mind.
  10. I shall always begin, start, initiate, take the first step, and/or write the first word, when I get around to it.
  11. I obey the law of inverse excuses which demands that the greater the task to be done, the more insignificant the work that must be done prior to beginning the greater task.
  12. I know that the work cycle is not plan/start/finish, but is wait/plan/plan.
  13. I will never put off until tomorrow, what I can forget about forever.
  14. I will become a member of the ancient Order of Two-Headed Turtles (the Procrastinator’s Society) if they ever get it organized.

This is me all over!

Currently in Freak out Mode

The semester’s almost over and like I thought, the workload has suddenly increased. This weekend, a five-to-seven page essay on Nathaniel Hawthorne and The Scarlet Letter. It’s not that bad, but the fact that it determines whether or not you get out of high school increases the stress factor. Right now, I have three pages done and I’m not even half way done with the essay yet. I just want it to be over!

So, I am off to smash my head into something hard, (then finish my essay :sad:)

stressed
