keykLJ deleted my post. Ugh.
Basically I have this anthology thing due and it's eating my life. I'm scheduling work for the first time in my life. I have a book to make. I have 8 badly written little essays and I need to do three more by today. The rest of the week, I will be planning out how to make the stupid book and decorating and organizing my silly little pages. I'm not sure how the box of instant cake mix will work for a book since I rarely ever do any activities such as making stuff (even though I really wanted to as a kid). I need to fit those stupid paragraphs onto a few pages along with decorations and stuff, rubber cement and/or sew them into my book, decorate the book, make sure it can survive long enough with falling apart, and right...I need to fix my stupid essays first. I'm not the most fond person of reading books seeing as only a few are able to interest me enough to read them, and writing essays about them is a pain. This is only a rough draft too(although it's quite a big grade). I also have to watch movies, get advertisements, get persuasive speeches, and a bunch of other things other than books. I am not too fond of movies, mind you. Ghibli movies are about all that I'm able to really like. But I need a black and white movie too, and I'm not too sure as to what I'll do for that. It's a Wonderful Life, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jamuko told me is about all on my list...but I hear I'm going to have to watch it again for sophomore year so I'm a bit if-y.
And community service hours! My terrible social skills have come back to haunt me. It's a pain just to even ask a question. I always feel bad right afterwards.
Now to work on my Jane Eyre essay and study for a test. My head is starting to hurt.

Date: 2006-12-04 07:46 am (UTC)Try to have fun making the book!! It'll make it go by easier. :3 One thing I used to do with covers is take some cardboard (preferably a thick kind, or maybe even that foam science-fair-board material would do) and carefully wrap it in fabric (any cheap fabric will do, a solid color or pattern... I had some penguin-print kind that I liked XD ). If you do it so that all the cut edges are on the inside of the cover, and then glue a paper on top of that, it looks nice kinda like a real hardcover book. :3 And you can also add frilly extras like binding it with ribbon and adding a feather or something to make it pretty. XD
Oh, also, I was just thinking about your black-and-white movie thing! Since you haven't done it yet, I'll mention the other movie I thought of. You might have heard of it or even watched it in government class, XD "12 Angry Men". It seems like it would be boring because it's about a jury and I hate government and history-related things... but I actually like that movie a lot. It might be easier to find things to write about it for school, too.
As for community service... it does suck, eh? >.< But as I told Pompi, you might want to consider the homeless dog rescue group in your area. ^o^ Dog people are always very friendly, so even though you do have to talk to them a bit (can't really get out of that for community service :/ ) it's okay to deal with. And it's still less human interaction than you'd have doing tutoring or something. And of course...... doggies are cute and fun!! ^o^
