Emily needs…
It’s funny, because all these people are posting these things on their blogs, so I searched Google, too, for “Emily needs.” And the first two results are other people’s blogs, doing the same thing. So I’m not counting those.
1. Emily needs eating companions around noon on Wednesday
2. Emily needs a gangsta
3. Emily needs almost 24-hour care
4. Emily needs to snap out of it
5. Emily needs to be told “No, there are certain things that just are NOT allowed”
Interesting. Apparently I’m a problem child. And an Australian Idol star.

Here and Back Again
Well, I bought it.
And tomorrow I’m going to return it.
At least I found out about a handy reference web site. You see, the guy at the camera store used resellerratings.com to see if the company whose web site I had found a good deal on was any good. It wasn’t. Seems it was mostly a scam. So, after begging and pleading and he refusing to lower the price for me, I bought it. Figured that I had done a fair amount of looking online and this store’s price was pretty good. So I got home, took a few pictures, got pretty excited… then went to the web site that the salesguy had used. And what do you know? I found the same camera on there for about $40 cheaper. I was still debating, but then I discovered this website had free shipping. But I had just paid a ton of money for the tax… so all in all, I’d save about $100. So I just ordered another Canon Digital Rebel XT. Because I’d rather have the $100 than a store have $100.

The writing wasn’t so bad
In retrospect, the writing of my 10.5 page term paper wasn’t so bad. It’s the editing that I can’t seem to bring myself to do. I’ve never liked re-reading my own writing. I’m one of those kids who never even looks over her test before turning it in, except to skim and make sure I didn’t miss any questions. Never re-read my essays. I just hate doing it. And with this long of a paper, I just can’t seem to bring myself to start. I’m daunted by it. And I’m the one who wrote it. I know that once I start, it won’t be so bad. But I think I’m scared that if I take the time to actually read it, I’ll realize how awful it is, and have to do a ton more work. But I can’t bring myself to hand it in without reading it over at least once, either. So now I’m off, to skim-edit my term paper that’s worth a good chunk of my grade. Actually, I just checked my syllabus to see how much it’s really worth, and the syllabus doesn’t even say. So I could be throwing away 50% of my grade, or 5% of my grade with my lousy editing. Bah. It’s worth the risk, right?
