Greetings from hell. The first paper and the take-home final have both been turned in. That's the good news. The bad news is that I've been trying like hell to get going on the second paper, and I just can't get started on it. Realistically I need to have it done by tomorrow afternoon at the latest if I'm going to finish the final paper by Friday.
The battle plan for now is that tomorrow, after doing any work on the second paper I don't finish tonight, I'm going on a mad photocopying spree getting articles pulled for the final paper. Unfortunately one of the key articles I need I'll have to copy down at BGSU's library, and while I would normally appreciate the excuse to play on the DDR machine down there (which I will), I don't need all that extra travel time when I'm already so pressed for time. Tomorrow will be a Red Bull-free day for me, and I'll sleep as long as my body needs so I'm fully recharged. Then, when I wake up Thursday, I charge straight forward on the final paper and I won't stop until I'm done. That may mean an all-nighter, which in turn would mean no Westland on Friday, but if that's the price I have to pay then so be it. I can always head up to Westland later; this paper can't wait any longer.
Just on a quick note, I did stop at Media Play on the way to campus today and picked up David Lanz' Romantic to listen to while I work on papers here. Now if only I could actually get to work on them ...
