I just spent the last some-odd hours of my time [I want to say two, but I lost track] copying down study guide stuff for my Physical Science class. For the test. Tomorrow. Gah. And as a result, my writing hand is totally cramping up. Gah gah gah.
Dr Gray called me out for using an internet convention in my short story today. I had someone shouting, and since they were shouting they were in CAPSLOCK, and she said that it's totally internet. Huh. Now I have to go check every single one of my books. She didn't say it was bad, but... Apparently I have strange unheard-of style things in my papers. I wrote something like "She. Was going. To die." and some helpful soul told me they'd never SEEN [shout!] anything like that before. Huh. And then I got a confusing [and this is a direct quote]: "You answered all my expectancies." Huh? Okay! I feel good now! Right.
I really need to be studying for my test, but... I don't wanna! I'm tired. I'm sick. My arm hurts from writing. All I feel like doing right now is perfecting my House sketch [Fangeek? Check!]. Wahhh.
Oh! That's another thing. On my paper, I had the word "Cryyyyy!" Apparently no one knew how that was pronounced. I had meant for it to be a long, drawn-out jeer type word... but people were pronouncing it literally. [Craeaeaeaeaey. I think.] I realize now that I have a lot of conventions that I know well, and that others don't know at all. I need to work on that.
