"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Check List

Sometimes I struggle to make posts long enough. What I mean long enough? I hate when the pictures on the side of the blog are longer than the posts... if that makes sense. So I try to maintain regular sized posts :)

Laundry-washed and dried: CHECK
Clean Room: CHECK
All Online French Homework for the Semester: CHECK
All British Literary History Reading for the Semester: CHECK
All D&C Homework for the Semester: CHECK

Man, I didn't realize how much I have done! I just have one paper to write, one paper to revise, one poem to memorize, the Canterbury Tales intro to memorize, one more story to read, and all my test to get ready for.

Alright, that sounds like a lot I have to do still...

Really I'm just struggling with the papers. They take hours. I don't even want to start. Again, dumb since I'm an English major :/ But my current plan is to just get everything done tonight that I can and maybe have Monday and Tuesday to write and the rest of the week to study... ya, I need to start tonight. Curses.
