It's funny how appealing housework becomes...
when you have a paper that you have no desire to start due. I never noticed how dusty the baseboards were in my bedroom...but I feel the urge to clean them now...

1. I thought you were done with school - or are you in grad school now?
:hi:

I just finished working on a work report so I won't have to do any of it tomorrow when my kid is home for Columbus Day.


Oh, and we are watching the Steeler game.

3. Grad School
it's only 3 pages but I hate reading the articles that I'm supposed to critique, they are just really boring. I find myself reading the same sentence over and over...it's due Tuesday night but I know if I don't finish at least half today, it will be Tuesday afternoon and I'll be scrambling to put anything down on a piece of paper.

Maybe I'll just wait until the Giants game is over...:yoiks:

2. Get to work, you slacker!
It's either write the papers now or learn how to say, "Would you like fries with that," in an appealing manner.

5. You know what a BA will get you?
A nice trucking job hauling freight from coast to coast. You'll be home once every three months and start talking like a hillbilly. Now, no more goofing off, ya hear me? Don't make me come over there and take your TV away.

8. Ooh - that reminds me of a dream I once had
I forgot I had to do a paper to graduate - it was a paper course, and that was the only basis for my grade. I realized with about a week to go in the semester that I hadn't even chosen a topic, and the available topics were DEADLY dull and dry, and I had absolutely no clue where to even start. I woke up in a cold sweat.

YOU BETTER DO THAT PAPER!!!!!!
