Ode to the evil 0.5%

The only thing worse then not getting the grade you wanted is only missing it by 0.5%, and the only thing worse then that is having it happen twice! Now I am no math wiz and I understand that math is a very precise subject, however why do they teach us in elementary school how to round numbers if you can't apply it to anything important? I mean seriously 0.5%, that just hurts, 1% okay you were just a bit off still painful but the only thing you can do is kick yourself for not being quite good enough, but with the 0.5% that's just plain cruel!


Alright I'm done ranting...For now. So I'm finally finished school, just waiting on one more grade..If I get jipped on that one too, I really will cry!


Have you ever noticed that once you finish something that's been consuming all of your time, and you finally get a chance to sit back and relax, you end up doing everything in your power to be as busy as possible and end up being more exhausted at the end of your vacation then you were to begin with?


The next thing on my list is to have spinal surgery this summer. I know not everybody's (or anybody's) idea of the greatest summer ever, but after my right leg went completely numb and tinglely on the weekend, the sooner they start fixing the problem the better. When I called my doctor to explain my plight, they just made sure my breathing was fine, so that you know I wasn't dying or anything...Don't ask, and when I asked them about my leg they just said..."Oh yeah we expected that to happen." very casually! Well then! Next time it would be nice if some one filled me in on what they EXPECT to happen to ME. My leg is feeling better now just slightly tinglely and bearable, but the sooner I know when and what is suppose to happen this summer I think I will feel much much much better.



only 0.5 %.... :(

and the story begins.....

The Paperback Princess

Once upon a time:
In a world that never was
And a land that has always been,
There lived a princess on a rock
In someplace right inbetween

She could swim like a fish
And fly just like a swan
She can fill your heart with longing
With an eerie wordless song
And she'll weave you a brilliant arras
Of the loveliest fairytale
That has no beginning
And has yet to find an end

But first you'll have to find her
And journey beyond your walls
Out into the land of dreams
She's the one who waits for you
For dreamers will always dream

The story she'll tell you is her own
A story from this world and the next
A tale of a journey, and a treasure
Found and then lost and found again
A tale of sorrow and love
And of love and sorrow

If you listen very carefully
You'll see just why she waits
A solitary figure, a lost soul
Caught between a world that never was
And a land that has always been

 

The Paperback Princess Returns

With the end of school coming to a close and actually being almost finished, it doesn't seem as exciting as I thought it would be. for one thing I'm already bored. Life doesn't seem interesting unless you have an endless pile of work to do and feel pressured to get it done! and boy do i know how stupid that sounds. but it will be nice to have time to have a life again and soon my friend will be in town to celebrate his graduation cermony where he finally gets his masters degree in medical physics. So it will great hanging out with him and making him the largest floppiest funnest cake in the world. What else are friends for?
But with the end of school means more time for me to write, or to actually start writing, and tell you the on going saga of the paperback princess so stayed tuned!
