paper finished!
Woo hoo! I'm on page 23 and only have to write the conclusion - which I'll do tomorrow after I print a rough draft to reread and edit tomorrow evening. Woo hoo! So, now I just need to write another 4-page paper tonight ... puke.
So, about 10 hours ago I was getting started. That ain't bad, about 2 pages an hour. Gee, at that rate, I could write my dissertation in 10 days to 2 weeks. Ha. Hahaahahahaha.
Maybe I'll go wrap little presents instead. I still have tomorrow evening to edit this big paper and write the 4-pager. Blah blah blah blah. But, these are the last papers I have to write for classes here (at the "Just Shoot Me Already" university). Oh, no they're not - I'll have one more big one for an independent study for next term. So, almost the last. But my next big thing is my prospectus, which must be written as soon as I get back from Africa.
The reason I get worked up about them, even though I can whip them out in a day, is that there's so much preparation that goes into them before I sit at the computer. I read 30+ books and articles for this paper today. OK, I didn't read every page of the books that I cited, but that is unusual for me and usually I do. And then I mulled everything over.
OK, so, what do I have to look forward to this week?

- Payday!
- Giving my presentation on Tuesday and being done with it.
- Turning in my papers on Tuesday and Wednesday and writing no more this term.
- And of course, the very best - I get to see my man! Woo hoo! Next week at this time I'll be with him. I get to meet his daughter, and be in Africa, and all good things! Wo hoo!
Hm ... I was thinking that eating today only See's chocolates and a chicken salad was a good idea, but I see the simple carbs have beaten me again and now I'm hungry. Time to scrounge the refrigerator.
