Daily Mantra: “School is a weird thing. I am not sure it works.” -the hottest McHotty himself…Johnny Depp.
04232008_copy

The title says it all. Today I MADE myself sit down and write my term paper. I knew, in my whole heart of hearts, that if I didn’t do it today, I was bound to pull an all nighter at some point in the next 2 weeks, and at this age….it ins’t cool anymore because your parents aren’t there to make you hot cocoa or tea or popcorn, order pizza, or drive your paper into school for you the next morning while you sleep in. You know, I am not really sure what in the world nuclear power plants have to do with Social Work, but maybe, just maybe, I might find it useful someday, even if just to say, “Hey…I had to do it, Kid…you have to too.”

Yeah, I’m at that same point with school, too. The end is in sight, but it’s SUCH a struggle to get there!!! Good luck with your last few days and WAY to go getting that paper written! You’ll really thank yourself later. :) :)

I’ll be honest…I’m thankful I’m done with school and have NO desire to return. But, with that said, you’ll be happy when you’re done, so just keep plugging away. What are you studying anyway?

Even the simple photos are terrific!

Love the processing here. And yes hands down Johnny Depp is the most hottest hotty mchoterton ever.

Wow, beautiful shot! I must agree, you do learn some odd things in pursuit of a degree. I decided that it isn’t all of what you’re learning, it’s showing the commitment to finish what you start that is most important.

Love your title and your mantra. Someday it will all be worth it, if only to impress your kids when you watch Jeopardy. :-) Great shot–isn’t it wonderful to finally see things blooming?

1st: Beautiful picture! As always!

2nd: Term Papers suck… one reason why I never finished college!

3rd: Johnny Depp went to High School with one of my friends sisters. They hung out together and she even went up to Vancouver when he was shooting 21 Jump Street! I have an autographed picture of him – to me – from 21 Jump Street… I’ll have to scan it and post it for you! I LOVE him too!!!

I don’t envy you in school. It’s such a relief to be done! Hang in there, though.

jess - April 23, 2008 - 11:17 am

OK that is officially my favorite quote. EVER. Sigh… if only I was a hot hollywood starlet, maybe I’d have a chance at Mr. Depp. *swoon*

This is a gorgeous shot too, definitely a work of ART. And yes, school sucks. :p
