2560/50000, yeah! A strong start - good job, self. Keep up the good work and we'll have this challenge finished in no time! I think if I have time later I might write a bit more, get that wordcount up to around 3400. Yeah, that's two days worth of work, but if I have that then it means I can write less one day and still not be behind. (Could I do that during AVID? I shouldn't, because I've got so much Hamlet to do omg, but I probably could, I bet... two journal entries each, Five Conversations Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Didn't Have (And One They Did), and How Rosencrantz Met Guildenstern; find literary devices for those last few quotes; type up all the words - death predictions, analysis chart, soliloquy translations, performance analysis; revise the essay that's very important. That's all, I think.)

Still, even if I do have loads and loads of work (oh yeah, got to finish the outline for that novella I'm writing this month, that might be important, huh?), I'm not letting it get in the way. I will complete this challenge! I will not let anything get in my way! And I will remember, one week from now, that I told the entirety of AVID 12, half my physics class, all my friends, and my very favourite English teacher that I was going to do this challenge, so I can't quit or else I'll look like a total loser. AVID 12 already thinks, "omg Aloxa, you're so amazing," and I want it to stay like that, damn it, it's good for my self-esteem. (Not much else is, really.)

I should just drag my laptop to school with me, jfc. Too bad it's an ancient thing and I don't have a carrying case for it and it won't really fit in my bag. ...though at least the new power cord for it should come today! Keep thinking positively, Azu, things'll turn out the way they're supposed to :D

I don't know why I ever worried about not being able to turn out enough material for my project. I mean, I only wrote five pages of Hamlet fanfiction, that's got to count for something. (And two pages of journal entries. And three full-page images. And four pages of soundtrack descriptions. And three pages of triple quotes. And three pages of character analysis. And two pages of soliloquy translation. And miscellaneous other pages that bring the page count up to twenty-six. ...oh, and a four-page essay on top of that.)

Now the hardest part is getting the damn soundtrack to burn to CD properly. Which isn't working out so well for me, so far, because apparently iTunes cannot burn a proper CD. It worked out just fine; it's just that my CD player couldn't play it. My computer could, though, so it's fine. Couldn't find a paper sleeve like I wanted, though, so it's in a plastic jewelcase. Idk how I'm going to cram that into my presentation cover... maybe I could ducttape it in? I guess.

It is now 10:30 and I should have been in bed like an hour ago, so I'm going to go do that now. On the plus side, I don't have to get up early to finish any homework, because I already finished it all! :D (I'm still getting up early, though. How else am I supposed to fit in 1700 words?)
