I did that last semester- with both my term papers, just in time. But at least I got them done. but it was stressful. I hope that I can get it done so I can at least have a day to relax and give my brain a break.

I told a friend on Facebook that I was trying to find my motivation to write my paper and he sends me this:

Okay, here's some motivational quotes! "Unless someone like you cares a whole lot, nothing's going to change, it's not." "In the end, it is not the words of our enemies we will remember, but the silences of our friends." "Creativity is intelligence having fun."

It made me laugh.

Hee. Yes, sometimes having a thoughtful saying helps more than people would think. I believe in you, Cloud.

I probably should sleep as I need to be up early tomorrow to try to get a few things done I'm lacking the energy to do at the moment. But I'm not tired.

If you need to sleep, you should sleep. Even if you don't feel tired. Sometimes just turning off all the lights and laying down signals our brain that we should sleep. Nothing quite like darkness to make your body just drop into a sense of calm.

@ Cloud - That would be lovely. I just need pings if any sort of problem comes up in the thread. Since I want to always ensure this thread is safe for anyone.

Zira: Yeah - I may finish the episode that I just started, so I'll be around sort of till I finish that. :]

Poet: I can do that as best I can! ^_^

I'd volunteer, Poet, but I think I'm still too much of a newbie to carry any weight or be any help, really.

Cloud: Starting a show is a completely valid reason to stay up :V

Zira: Haha, yeah! I'm trying to get as caught up with it as I can - I think I'm only one show behind, and then the finale, which will have to be watched somehow when I'm at home, I think.

What show is it?

NCIS - one of the shows that I watch that's actually currently airing.

I was about to ask that question after I replied to my mail

Hi Lexi! Nice to see you

Cloud, I've heard the show good. I've never seen it, though. I'm terrible at keeping my attention on tv shows, sadly.

Heya Lex! How're you doing?

Zira: It is a good show. I'm just getting used to the fact that one of the actors decided it was time to move on and left, so there's a hole that hasn't quite been filled - they have replaced her, but it's not the same. I have the first nine seasons on DVD... >.> <.< I'm not obsessed. Haha! :P

I haven't heard that show before.
I'm good! How're you guys? :) and Zira feeling better? Planks are killing me.

Cloud: Haha. I understand the frustration. It isn't like kid's shows where things just abruptly change The actor is gone, and there's no supernatural reason why they are suddenly a new person. No, they are gone now, and the show goes on without them.

You're allowed to have all the DVDs :V If you like them, you like them

Lexi: I am feeling better emotionally. Physically, less so. And Planks?

Zira: Plus she was there from Season 3 to half way through Season 11. So we really got to know her as a character and how she works with those around her and then... she's just gone. O.o Sure it's still a good show, but it's weird without her. Like hey, at least she's not dead - as typically with this show, if an actor wants to leave, they kill off the character. Her character is still alive, so that's a plus, yeah?

Haha, it's one of my things I'm doing - I will have all of them on DVD. Because they're awesome and that way I can go back and re-watch them whenever I want to without having to be online. :]

Lex: It's a cop type show that deals with the military and stuff. But it's good. The shows IMDB page. :) It's a show I never saw myself liking, but I really got into it, and I love the characters and how they interact with one another. :]

Cloud, yeah. Leaving the character living is a good thing. Maybe she'll come back later. Who knows?

Yeah, who knows. We'll see. I kinda doubt it - with the tensions that the actress just up and leaving causing them to have to re-write whole shows because of it. But we'll see. :)

Abrupt changing are weird. I never care for them though cops and military? I like them! I'll try to watch it sometime :) thanks for the link! I have no DVDs because I don't have a DVD player at my home the one we had was washed away with flood and it was too much of a bother getting a new one. We had to break walls and stuff and it wasn't worth it

Emotionally good is good yup planks (exercise) my hands start shivering and I can't breathe. I can't keep it up for a simple 30 seconds

It is hard. And it'd be worth watching. The characters are pretty cool! And you'll get it when I say 'Gibbs Slap' if you do watch it. I get that from that show. You're welcome. Oh, no, that's not good! :( I watch DVDs on my computer.

Cloud: SHe might show up if they want to shake things around in the show.

Lexi: Yeah, emotionally better is nice. Planks sound hard, though. But if they help you, a little discomfort is worth it, right?

Yeah, we'll see. It could happen - even if is just for like an episode or something. Who knows. :) Just make us all go "Wait?! What?!?!"

It's worth it :D Once I'm able to do it well then I might actually be able to do some push-ups
They should have killed that character just my opinion. Was there any reason for her disappearance?

No.... No no no no.... I'm so tired of them killing off characters... No! Please do not say that!!!! DO Not say that. That is highly upsetting to me... -.-
You do not know the show at all... SHE does not deserve to be killed... She had to take time to find herself after her father died and the position that she had with NCIS got moved away because of new leadership from where she was from - it's confusing and I can't give much away. But it had to do with her not being sure who to believe or trust anymore and needing to take time to find herself.

It was an ending that fit her... SHE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE KILLED!!

Man, pushups... It's been a long, long time since I could do a pushup. Even the cheaty girly ones. My arms are stupid and weak. I need to start walking again...
