7 to 7

Well, in 7 minutes, it will be 7 am. How wonderful. I told myself I wouldn't go any longer than 5 or 5:30, but I wanted so badly to cross an entire line off my list instead of just one number. I really do think that was my biggest sense of motivation. That and if I still had to pretend like I was Bristol Palin tomorrow, I was going to fly to Alaska and either jump off an iceburg or provoke a brown bear. Ay. BUT BOTH MY AMERICAN NATIONAL GOVERNMENT ESSAYS ARE DONE!!!!! I AM DONE WITH THAT CLASS!!! Except for editing, but whatever. The second one that I just finished will probably have quite a bit of editing to do, but I do not care. It is done. And I can go to bed with that much more of a feeling of accomplishment. Except literally in 2 and a half hours, I have to go to that class to fill out the eval. Won't that be fun *devilish grin.*

I have written 11 pages in the past 35 hours. Sick. But awesome. Unfortunately, that doesn't even put me at the halfway mark, but the rest of the papers are actually about things that I care about. Writing these first two essays was like running a machine with a wrench in it; it'd go smoothly for a while, but then I'd get stuck. I anticipate the others to run more like the taffy makers in Frankenmuth... nice and smooth. Maybe even strawberry flavored. (Oh gosh, I get cheesy when I'm tired) Busting out 3 pages advocating for abused children is a lot easier than writing three pages pretending I'm Bristol Palin and at all interested in domestic, economic, or foreign policy. Basically, I'm pretty sure I got the worst done first. So hopefully it will be downhill from here.

So here's to exam week: writing my butt off and forming companionship with a washing machine in the laundry room, ping pong breaks, locking myself out and running outside in my socks, dance interludes, midnight breakfast, and downloading Eye of the Tiger as motivational paper writing music. Here's to the sleep that I'm not getting, and the break that I am anticipating. And here's to Aladdin's nippleless, animated gorgeousness and Grandmother Willow's wisdom. And here's to THE LIST that is slowly but surely, getting crossed off.
