so I'm at the library right now. I was really stressing out because I have a research paper (first draft) due on thursday. Big problem! Especially because I hadn't really decided on what i wanted to do....and hadn't researched anything either. So I got here, checked out a book and started to write stuff down. Well....I went through two ideas and nothing panned out like I thought....so I was even more stressed! Suddenly, though, I great idea popped into my head! AIIIEEEEE!!! I couldn't get on a computer and (for all you non-writers out there) it is tremedously difficult to just free write, without typing. So I ran to the circulation desk and checked out a laptop and got it all step up. It is sure a good thing I did this because that idea didn't work either. But as I was just typing whatever popped into my mind, I stumbled upon a great topic. I got a little bit of an intro done and then decided to just go ahead and type up my outline. So I have two pages of outline (and some other musing and random stuff that I had to remind myself) and still haven't started researching. The only problem is, I'm here without a disk.....wait a minute........PRAISE THE LOOOORD!!!!! What I was going to say, was that i emailed it to myself, but I would have to retype it all again.....but I just remembered that I DO carry a disk with me in my backpack!!!! Maaaaan.....it's a good thing I typed this post, because I would've totally forgot about that disk!!! Cool peanuts!!
