Still behind...

Well I'm still behind...wanted to e-mail the paper yesterday and I'm not done writing it yet. I felt guilty spending the entire weekend cooped up in here while my aunt and grandma were here so I took longer study breaks then I really should have. Plus I also went to the barn for about an hour and a half...then we went out to lunch on Saturday and church and lunch today. Plus despite my intentions to stay up all night last night I just couldn't seem to do it. I may have no choice tonight, so here's hoping I can make that work.

I discovered a neat trick though that will com in handy when it comes time to edit my paper...text-to-speech. If my old Mac OS had it I wasn't aware of it but this one def does. I can't figure out how to access it directly from Word...but I can copy and paste say into this textbox and then select it and click speech > start speaking. I am thinking that will cut down on my typos that I don't catch since my brain just reads them how they are supposed to be and Word doesn't catch them because they are real words just not the word I wanted to type.

My mom and I were talking today and she agreed to buy the Adobe Production Premium software package for me! Its only $400 for a student compared to $1700 retail! Then, we were talking about how people in big cities are thinner because they walk everywhere instead of drive. So she's like maybe we should sell the house and just get an apartment in a bigger city somewhere and I was like San Francisco...those hills would shed the pounds fast! And she's like I want to lose weight, not die so she decided she'd like to move to Colorado haha. I'm sure she was just kidding and this will never come to fruition, but it would be cool to move somewhere exciting. Since they moved me around as a kid I don't have any strong ties to anywhere really and I'd like to have input on a city and home choice if I'm going to still live with her fo awhile (which I plan on until I know for sure where I want to settle for good and what I want to do with my life).

Ok back to work for real now...I am quickly reaching the point of no return and if I don't have the paper done by then I have no hope of graduating this month!
