It

I sent the new guy a text. And he answered. Kind of normal, but also kind of weird. Before he would keep texting about nothing; today it's one, maybe two. It's possible he was working and not really in a position to play, but it's still not what I'm used to from him. He did ask what my schedule is like. So we'll see what develops.

Still haven't cracked a single book for my paper. I think there's something wrong with me. I'm not usually so bad about getting this sort of thing done. Usually I have all sorts of research done by now, with pages and pages of notes and some idea of what I'm going to write about. The paper is due on May 17, but each person in the class has to give a presentation about their topic. Presentations start a week from tomorrow. I don't know yet when my presentation is, and I have no idea what I'm going to be talking about. Or if I'll need to bring anything. I don't really work too well without hard deadlines. I just hope that I won't have to throw a presentation together in 24 hours. Yes, I'm a slacker, but I know that I'm not alone. A lot of people out there are just like me.

So instead I make the books. I finished one yesterday and started one today. I also worked on another one that I'm hoping to have finished by Monday. Making books is actually kind of fun. It's kind of like putting together a puzzle, except I get to pick what the pieces look like. I also feel like I've been let in on a big secret so it feels kind of special.

I guess that's it: boy: meh. research: yech. books: yeah
