So, that speech that I was supposed to work on last night . . . didn't finish it. Once again, I told myself that I was going to get up early and do it. And considering I had a couple sources already, I thought I'd be able to do it. And then I didn't wake up to my alarm. So, when I finally did, it was another mad dash to reasearch and put together a speech. And when it was 5 minutes until class and I hadn't even begun my formal outline . . . I figured that I wasn't going to get it done. So, I skipped off to class and cornered the teacher and asked nicely and sweetly if I could only give one of my speeches today instead of having to do both one day. And she said . . . "Oh. Yeah. Sure. That's fine."
WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!! I got out of it!!!! And then I realized that I hadn't even looked at my ghost speech since my mad dash to reasearch that a week earlier. Oi . . . so I poured over the little note-card I made. And I tried to frantically remember what all the keywords meant. Luckily, she had me go last because I was giving an informative speech and everyone else was giving pursuasive speeches. And I went up there and bull-shitted about stuff and I actually ended up going overtime!! Can you believe that? So, now I'm going to be downgraded for talking too long . . . argh. Oh well. It's better than having a shitty speech.
To a certain extent I felt bad for not giving my other one because 3 other people who were supposed to go today didn't show up to give their speeches. So, we only had a total of 3 speeches, including mine. We got out quite a bit early. But next Tuesday . . . we have 10 speeches. I have no idea how they're going to get done. I better get to do mine, or I'll be pissed . . .
But, yeah, so this girl Kathy, she did her speech on Increasing visiting hours for our dorms. And I whole-heartedly agree with her. Currently, girls and boys can't be in a room together after 1:00 in the evening, or before 10:00 in the morning. Why? I guess the administration assumes that we're all having sex. You wouldn't think that I, a gay boy, would mind, seeing as how I could have potential boyfriends over whenever I want, but most of my friends are female, and I can't hang out with them after 1:00, which really sucks. I'm certianly not going to be having sex with them. And for that matter, why should straight people be kept seperate so they can't have sex, but gay people not? It's not terribly fair when you think about it. But they can't very well make a rule that gay guys can't be in other guys' rooms after a certain time, can they? Plus the fact that anyone old enough to go here is legally considered an adult and can make their own choices involving relationships, and the fact that the rule really doesn't stop the people in the room above me, and the people in the room next to me from having loud, annoying sex several times a night, every night, and you have just a big stupid mess that shouldn't even be here in the first place. So, yeah, visitation hours are stupid.
I planned my schedule for next year today. It took a while for Doc to get the computer actually working, so it took 2 hours instead of half an hour, but it was interesting nonetheless. I'm very, very happy with my schedule because I get to sleep in until 10:00 (which I do now anyway, but next year I won't be in trouble for it) and I only have 2 science classes all year long!! WOOT! Now, I used to like science and consider them to be my easiest classes, but now they suck hardcore and require far more work than I'm willing to put into them. So, yay for me being a lazy ass with an easy sechedule to finish out his college career. More to come later, but I must be off to my infernal play practice. Ta ta.
