I'm going to finish it soon. Really, I am. I have to, because the president and former treasurer of the club is going to come look at it and probably scold me for doing a shitty job. She's one of those annoyingly efficient people who's into "getting things done on time" and "being efficient". Whatever. Actually, she's quite nice and probably won't yell at me at all. I'm just bitter.

By the way, I think I misplaced that period after "efficient" but I'm not sure. I'm a tutor in the writing center and it scares me sometimes the things I'm unsure of. I mean, I know in terms of dialogue, etc, the punctuation goes inside the quotation marks. But what about when you've got a phrase?

Sigh.

I wish I could just place all the grammar knowledge regarding the English language into my head without having to actually *learn* it. Same with foreign languages. I love the idea of being multi-lingual, but the actual process of learning languages is just torture to me. I so admire people who can do it well and enjoy it.

Anyway. So, the budget. The main problem is that I have to ask for way more than we actually need, so that they'll give us the right amount. It's annoying, because I have to come up with justifications for all the money I'm asking for, and the extra money I don't really want is hard to place. Perhaps I'll tell them that we're planning to buy some kind of large, expensive educational toy. Perhaps a giant calculator, a la the keyboard in Big? Ooh, or maybe one of those keyboards? That would be cool. Kids need music education, right?

I feel dishonest asking for money we don't really need, but that's just the way Finance works here. I'm merely a cog in the machine. Or something like that.

Well, I'm off to figure out dinner. It's our first really hot day of the year, so what am I goign to do? Order Mexican. I enjoy being illogical.

Burrito . . . yum.
