So it's 10:49 here, and I just got back from getting myself some more Cherry Coke to keep running. I shouldn't drink it, but I know I will, and I'll keep gorging myself on brownies, despite feeling both way too full and way too sick. Food is...useful though. Killing myself like this is all part of the paper-writing process. Measly little 5 pager on Stalin. I can write it all on my head, but not on paper, but I need to do it, 'cause it's due tomorrow. Four years of undergraduate academic papers has yet to teach me how to not stress out over even the smallest paper, sort of like how it has yet to beat out of me my own overcleverness, which is why my report cards are a strange dichotomy of B+s, As, Ds, and Fs, with the Bs and As in exceedingly hard classes and the Ds and Fs in pathetic core classes.
I hate this part of school.

Although I have heard it helps to start writing the paper more than a day in advance.
Posted by: Regina at April 18, 2003 6:57 AMI hear that too, but it's a vicious lie. Starting in advance just means more time to rip your hair out.
