am so!

I am so working on my essay for my Shakespearean lit class.

This is just a break, to stretch my legs and get a snack.

And that episode of Buffy I watched a bit ago, that was just a break, too. I needed to, uh, stretch my brain a little bit. And get a snack.

And earlier, when I was reading blogs and compulsively reloading my inbox (even though it automatically reloads itself) in hopes that I'd get a distracting email? Well, it's important to stay fresh and alert. And get a snack.

The most productive part of my day: reading all those online essays by other students writing on the same play (though not the same subject, since plagiarism is bad, y'all and I didn't dare run the risk of butting up against a similar line of argument). Not that I found a single thing to use, nor did I hope to. No! But reading some one else's work, uh, recalibrated my standard a good deal lower. That's a relief.

I'm getting right back to it now. Really! Just got to get a snack first.

Against the advice of all the voices in my seething brain squealing "NOOOOOOOOO!," I just used Word Count and discovered to my astonishment: I'm halfway there. That's a mercy, anyhow.
