Rewards

So who wants to get me The Sims 3 plus Pets as a graduation present so I have something to do while I'm in Buffalo for a week waiting for a wedding? Please?

I keep telling myself that I won't ask for (or buy with the few dollars I have), The Sims 3 until I finish my fifth book. Mostly because it'll be a way to reward myself in a small way and then I won't feel bad playing it for hours and hours a day, rather than writing. That game sucks up so much of my life it isn't funny.

So tomorrow marks the beginning of the last week of my college career. There's that pesky Monday the 30th hanging out as the last day, but I count this as my last official week. I'm not going to want to do anything on Monday except be done. My finals will be fairly painless aside from a math one lurking in the distance, so that means that next week will be my packing and fun week while Senior week will be my frantic packing and freaking out week as I try to make sure I have everything of mine that needs to go home and everything that needs to go with me to Buffalo.

And then I'll sit around for a week, waiting for the 19th when one of my friends gets married.

If I make my deadline (which I sincerely hope I do), and finish my fifth book before graduation, then that'll mean that the week I'm in Buffalo I won't have anything pressing to do. At least, I don't think I will. I'm not putting it past myself to suddenly want to tackle the rewrite of my second book or a whole new book entirely in the prequel category of my world.

OH MY GOSH and The Sims 3 plus Pets just dropped to 25 dollars. I need money. Someone, please? Give me a job or pay me to do something? Ugh. This whole process of growing up is hard.

Meanwhile, in the life of me, I've been plugging away at my fifth book and it feels like it's moving along fairly well so far. I'm maybe a third of the way through the book so that's good timing and if I keep up this pace, I'll be able to have it done by graduation. That would be awesome.

In other news, my sister just finished her weekend of performances of The Miracle Worker, in which she played Ann Sullivan, the caretaker and teacher of Hellen Keller. It was a great show and good gracious my sister is a talented actress! It's a shame she doesn't see it herself. She was absolutely mind-blowingly amazing in her performance and had the audience going right along with her. It was really cool to see her be the lead in such a complex show where she has to effectively carry the cast throughout the whole play. She really got into the role and brought it to life, and I think she did Ann Sullivan justice.

Welp, I'm off to keep writing till about 3 am. One day I'll learn to sleep like a normal person.

Happy writing!
