Must. Go. To. Sleep. Dammit!
[mood| 
bored]
[music| "All For Swinging You Around" - The New Pornographers]
I can't fall asleep even though I want to so I can wake up relatively early to do some homework. Speaking of school, thanks to those who gave their suggestions for a minor in my last post. I really appreciate it! :D I still need to talk to my parents about it and get their advice, but Rio said that there's a minor in English that focuses specifically on publishing and editorial stuff, and I plan on working my way up to an editorial position as a journalist, so I'm leaning toward that. Oh, and I need a suggestion for my latest creative writing assignment. The assignment is to write a page double-spaced (basically a paragraph) on a place, with an emphasis on being as descriptive as possible. I was thinking about doing my desk at school since I've become quite attached to it, but I would be nice to have some other ideas. :D
Keeping in line with the whole boredom bit, I found this meme off of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Why yes, I've totally consumed an inordinate amount of sugar within the past hour or so.
As far as a place, I'd do my dresser. Peoples' dressers are so interesting! They always find ways to cram basically their entire lives onto those surfaces. But desk is good, too. :D
