I Haz Washing Machine.
Jan. 6th, 2012 07:58 pm Yeah, that's pretty much it. I bought a washing machine today. It's black, and shiny, and it has a really good energy consumption rate, good spin speed, and a number of cycle options including a quick wash and a half load wash, which will be invaluable.
I feel all grown up, getting this excited about buying something so practical! XD
On the downside, I also wanted to get a microwave from the same site, but the one I wanted was out of stock. So I will have to go into town and look for one over the weekend.
In Other News:
Well, I have 700words left to do of my essay, which is due on Monday at 5pm. >_>; That sounds like not much, I know, and I am actually confident that I will have it finished by tomorrow, but I still need to do a lot of editing and referencing before I can feel happy with it. I spent all day at the library leafing through journals, and while I did find some good stuff, it wasn't as much as I had hoped. Oh, and the one article I really want to read and cite is one that I have to pay $145 for, and let's face it- that's not going to happen. >_<; Not for a first year essay, anyway- I'd consider it for a dissertation, maybe.
I have to say, I would be surprised if I got a 1st for this essay. Not just because I am flailing about with it, but because uni has already told us that they mark harshly. No bad thing, though, if it shows us our weaknesses and helps us do better next time. Also, while I do need to get the 40% pass mark for this, it does not contribute to our overall grade at the end of the course. So if I only get 40%, that does not doom me to get a 3rd over all. ^__^ Which is reassuring, because I think I'll be lucky to get 50%..... I'm just not doing well with this at all. <_>;
Mind you, despite the fact that I am worrying about this and it's stressing me out, I actually can't remember any time in my educational life when I have managed to write an essay BEFORE the last 3 days.... I seem to be hard-wired to need stress in order to produce work. Which sucks. In fact, I take it as yet more proof that on some subtle level, my brain is out to kill me. >_>;
*twitches*
