It's 12:01 am and here I am on this slow old computer of ours, typing a homework I should have finished hours ago. It's actually pretty nice piece, although it's a bit too mushy for my taste. But oh well, what can you expect when the author was writing it while simultaneously having stomach pains due to what she supposes is premature ulcer, and with a brain dried out by a 3-hour long accounting exam followed by a 5-hour case meeting. The setting is so not appropriate for the creation of beautiful pieces of literature. So there. I even had to let Bianca proof-read the final copy, which i apparently printed out without even changing the date of the template from Nov. 24, 2005, to Jan 12, 2006. And when I did correct it, I wrote Dec 12, 2006 instead. Spaceout... And it had such big grammatical errors as would make Sr. Fermin's hair all fall out. I was so 'bangag' that I was even started to stumble on my own words. For some weird reason, the words just don't come out right. Like shipwreck became 'shickwrept' or something like that. I even described hair as 'gold long hair'. 0_0 Imagine the wreck I must have been! Bianca also had to sternly scold me because it was apparently obvious that i had no plans or a deep understanding of how i want the piece to turn out. She said maybe I should think about it for a while, becuase it was a pretty emotional piece. Like I had time! The only free moments i could spare during the past few days I've used for sleeping, thank you very much. But she did have a point. Maybe I'll revise the piece sometime.

About "the piece" I keep blabbering about tonight. Its a take on what Neil Gaiman did for the wicked queen in Snow, Glass and Apples. We're supposed to pick a fairytale and create a retelling from another character's point of view. I picked one that used to particularly interest me: the wife of the prince in the Little Mermaid. I've always wondered about her although she's a very minor character who was even omitted entirely in some versions. And you'll know why if you try to ask me about it in person. ^^ Anyway, the requirement was only 1 page of text, and it was quite a challenge to fit the retelling in 1 bond paper with the required font size of 12 in verdana and 1.5 spacing.

Anyway, you have to forgive my incoherence. I admit I'm pretty tired and am only writing this because I'm waiting for the computer to finish it's loading and printing and what not.

Good night.
