Does anyone understand this Turnitin.com nonsense?
Because I am utterly confused.
I know papers are due November 6, but what is this thing about October 16 or whatever day it is?

If anyone gets a message from me saying I want to use this picture for Facebook, it's a virus. Don't click on the link. And I don't even have a Facebook, so yeah. For some reason I can't seem to fix it so just DO NOT click on the link.

=( Where did everyone go?
Whenever I go online, no one is on. Makes me almost sad. And also reminds me that I should probably go practice.
Anyhow, I'm volunteering Monday through Friday from 9-3 for the next 4 weeks.
It's long and exhausting, and people think that I should get a job if I'm going to be volunteering for that long instead, but oh well. It makes me happy.
I'm really nervous about college. I asked to meet with one of the violin professors at FSU and I'm supposed to play for him? I feel utterly unprepared for anything and everything. =(
Jessica is working.
Darcy is volunteering.
Lindsey is nowhere to be found.
I'm left to talk with Mitun. And even he's not there half the time.
*le sigh*
I really want to go away to Maine.

I've finally worked on Photoshop as a free-time-activity, rather than a project-activity.
I am pleased to announce, in the near future [hopefully tomorrow], I will be posting this wonderful work of art on Threadless to see if they accept it as a T-shirt design.
It didn't take me too terribly long to make (my back doesn't hurt! Yay!), and it's actually quite amusing.
So...when I do send it into Threadless and they post it, will you all give it fabulous remarks so they make it into a shirt?
Cos that would be flipping amazing.
And it would make me happy.
I think I might post some of my previous T-shirt designs on there just for kicks as well.
I'll let you know when it actually goes on the website.
'Til then...

Does anyone know when the Tartuffe stuff is due? Cos I don't feel like doing it today...
And has anyone else posted their information about composers? If not, I'm just going to do the notes myself...
Somebody save me...
