not wanting to study

Okay, well my title should tell you everything about this post.  I have a 5 page report due in a couple of weeks, and I should be working on it.  However, I really do not want to do the report at all.  So... I figured I would procrastinate just a little bit longer.

The report, as I said, is a minimum of 5 pages with a minimum of 5 sources.  Of the sources, only 1 can be from the internet.  We have to have the cover-page and all that fancy junk and the report is supposed to be in ALA format.  I think... I need to double-check on that.  The report is due Nov 6.  My instructor said if we turn it in early, he will grade it and give it back to us.  Then, we can fix it and turn it back in for a better grade.  So, I am supposed to write about ankylosing spondylitis and how it pertains to radiology.  In a nutshell, ankylosing spondylitis is arthritis of the spine.  It attacks the joint spaces and ligaments connecting the vertebrae and calcifies them, effectively destroying the joint space.  The entire spine appears on a radiograph as if it were completely fused together.  The patient will have a decreased amount of mobility and will constantly be in a great amount of pain.  Look, here I am, writing my report...

I am not really worried about writing the report, it's just sitting down and actually studying enough to write 5 pages.  Once I start writing, I know I'll be okay.  I usually get fairly decent grades on any writing assignments.  It's just the studying part.

So the Fresno Falcons hockey season starts this month.  The Falcons had their preseason games against Stockton and the first home season game will be against the Bakersfield Condors on Oct 24.  I was looking at the roster for the Falcons, and I'm pretty happy with our line-up.  I'm hoping they can do a little better this year, though.  Last season, we had a good team, but we couldn't make it happen when it really counted.  We'll see what happens this year.

I know I kind of changed my writing style in this post, but I have a little bit of a reason.  Not a big one though.  My friend's roommate and I were talking about writing properly and how texting is not even close to being proper grammar.  When I get a letter from someone, I notice the grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.  I'm not a stickler on these things, I just notice.  (If you saw my previous posts, then you should know I really don't care)  Well, she went off on a tangent about how it is so horrible and how we need to have proper grammar.  I can understand if it is a handwritten letter, or even typed.  However, when it comes to texting, I just don't think I should have to worry about all of that.  It's not like I have a lot of room anyways.  So, this post is for her.  Well, the punctuation and grammar and all that.  I hope she enjoys it as it is very annoying to go back and check my every sentence.  lol  Oops, I don't think I can have "lol" in my post... Oh well...

Well, I'm going to leave with that.  I have a report to write, with proper grammar.  Have fun!
