This is worse than an R.L. Stine book.

Things I have done this week:
1. Was accused of plagiarism by my English instructor.
On Monday, we turned in our classification essays. On Wednesday, we got them back. Mine had an A+ and a note reading that the information presented was beyond a lay person's knowledge of the subject and either I needed to declare myself an expert or provide sources. Or else, I "will can be accused of plagiarism."
Did I mention I wrote my paper on perfume? And that we handwrote these essays in class? And that I sit in the front row?
2. Found out Randy Newman was wrong but still didn't get satellite TV.
Last Friday, our installation was postponed because of lack of available techs. Today, we managed to get one out to our house. He took a look at where we want the receivers installed, then he walked the perimeter to check the sightlines. He came back in the house and said, "Ma'am, I'm real sorry--this is kind of embarrassing but--" he's too big to crawl underneath our house. Apparently, the duct work is done is such a way that blah blah blah he can't go. So now we're rescheduled for next Friday with "special request: small tech."
3. Made Tanis think she was going to be murdered.
Hahahaha.
4. Watched this video about Super Mario Bros and related too much.

ps- the nintendo video was awesome. I'm pretty sure that that is the same inner voice I've been hearing (curse words and all) since I started playing video games when I was 4.
