Nov 29:

The plan for last night was a daring one: work on my CMST essay on a Friday night. Schoolwork on fridays is one of those things that generally has a very low success rate. But I was optimistic. I thought I’d be able to pull it off, concentrate, get down to work, whatever. And then it all sorta started looking a little bleak. But guess what? I wrote 1200 words. Which falls neatly in the 1000-1500 guideline for my essay. Who’d have thought? The only difficulty is that not a single one of the words was for the essay. Instead I started writing a play, which in my current opinion has a good chance of being pretty good. So yes, that is exciting. In fact more exciting than getting a good start on my essay, or partying hard all night long. The fact that I didn’t start writing the play till 1:30 am and went to bed around 5:00 is maybe a little disconcerting since that means I wasted a very large amount of time before that. But I can take it all in stride, and just be happy about it. Super-super-happy! But now I really have to focus on me damn essay. Super-super-focus! Yeah, good luck with that, eh? I got a SWHAT shift at 22:30 tonight, so I would like to have gotten a good start before then.
