I hate annoying last minute assignments. And I hate assignments that I put off until the last minute. I mean, why else would I put them off if I didn't hate them??

I am the most behind in following the news than I have been in maybe four years, and this is the year I have to regularly spout out my opinions on current events. But current events discussions don't even register a blip on the screen of goddamn school assignments that loom in the not-too-distant future! BLAH! NOT A BLIP!

But I went to the first rehearsal for the district youth ensemble band thing for which I auditioned. And that was OK. And I got a Ferrero Rocher chocolate -- fo' free!
