Day 10 Half n' Half

Yay! Thursday! The way I planned out college schedule this year is so perfect since I only go four days a week to class and a three day long weekend. Anyways today wasn't all that interesting, I had a lecture in the morning and went home for lunch. But since i was working so- so hard this week I passed on my second class. I don't have to worry too much about my physics class, since this is my second time around and I have all my notes from the year when I took it.

I just spend the rest of the day at a friends counting down for the launch of Elder Scroll V: Skyrim. And then watching him play the game until midnight.

So yeah not much done, not much achieve but everyone needs some R n R?

Day 9 Field Trip

The last few days I haven't been down on the sailboat because I am busy with other things, mostly college things. Today for my physical geography class we went down to a local stream (creek which was heavily engineered) to do a stream assessment. We had three hours to do, but even that was cutting it for the amount of data we have to collect. The class was divided up into three groups and then each group was assigned (since i did it once before I got priority and picked for my group) a section of the stream. Then the groups had to fill out 4 of the 5 pages of the form. In my group unfortunately there was a lot of confusion of what must be done and about the numbers. We also ended up pulling out a tire, a safety cone and 11 vodka bottles from the creek.

I admit to slacking off after both of my classes today and relaxing instead of doing work. But everyone is aloud to have a break right?

Day 7 Land Locked

It was interesting last night, since I could feel the freighter go by on board the boat. I didn't really get much done on my novel since, well I had to study for a midterm which i wrote on Monday morning. Mind you last night was also one of the calmest nights on the water I have had out the days i have been on board the sailboat. Due to the fact of living on a boat without a shower and hot water I have decided to wake up earlier so i could go home and get ready before heading off to college. By doing this it also gave me more time to study for my midterm which we had 3 hours to write and a lot of questions to answer.
After lunch I was able to add more to my novel and a little bit more after my last class while i was waiting for my club meeting. It is progressing slowly so far. 2840 words when I should be at 10,000 by now. I am trying my damnest to reach the number of words i need to write a day, but since my novel is a non-fiction about real world issues make it a lot more difficult. I understand that and that is one of the reasons why i am writing to improve the world. But inorder to have to possibly published in Jan I need to finish the novel in November and of course all the other things I need to get done for application for UBC.
I am also going to spend the next two days on land (today and tomorrow night) because of my classes since i have a field trip coming up on Wednesday.

Day 1 NaNoWriMo

It is strange, I was thinking about what I was going to write about for National Novel Writing Month this year two months before it even started, and now I am having trouble figuring out where to start. Add the fact that now I am a landlubber until I graduate. Which in my opinion sucks, since I love being down near the ocean. I am also going to have more time to work on some parts of my portfolio during this month since as of November 2nd I am boat-sitting for a month, to see what it is like living aboard a boat. I'll be staying on a Cal 28 (I don't know the year, possible 1960-1970s) with the cabin level with the deck. So it only has standing head room through the center of the boat, I have to watch so i don't bump my head.

I was planning on also starting my novel today but could think of how or where to begin. Ironic, I can write about almost anything except the thing I want to write about the most. I guess the fact of having an exam in the afternoon didn't help the fact.

But I did write a guide/outline so I have a rough idea how I want to lay it out. Heh, gosh I am soo busy.
What is NaNoWriMo + Full time college + University Application = Not enough time in a day.
