Goddammit. Every time I turn to the MSNBC homepage, there's a big, bold, red breaking news banner with some massive shooting on it. Later last night... or early this morning... there was a two-community wide shooting spree in Alabama, and this time it's a German school shooting.

...I'm up finishing my presentation that's due in about ten hours. I'm attempting to make my ideas sound not stupid and, well, not stupid. This would have been more helpful if I could have found information about Modern English verb classes and not having to cobble things together from Old English and Anglo-Saxon and bits of Modern German.

Also, it dropped 40 degrees in the last six hours. I made a last minute caffeine run in shorts and a t-shirt around 11:30 and I'll be wearing considerably more clothes. At least it won't freeze the downpour we just had?

AHA. I just need to print out the documentation, and keep myself caffeinated for the next six hours and I'll be somewhere close to passing Undergraduate's Very First Conference Presentation.

Motherfucker. I forgot my citations. Okay, citing, printing, and keeping myself caffeinated. Though I was so spectacular after this I have nothing because I did it while procrastinating on my presentation. Yay?

I'm done with my project about English verbs. I just have to print it and make it into pretty packets and not freak out in the next *glances at clock* two and a half hours.

Though if the author of one of the books I was citing ( APA! ) wasn't long dead ( Joseph Bosworth ) I would kill him myself for writing his page numbers in roman numerals. And while looking up to find out when he died that there's a digital version of the book I could have used instead of the very elderly brick.

Of course, the very elderly brick has the actual part I needed, the grammar sections, while the digital one does not for some reason.
