An Informational Post

So I have a 2500 word essay due on Friday at noon. In my head, that is diddily squat compared to the 5000 word essay I turned in 2 weeks ago. But in my heart, I know it is actually an 8 page paper and something I should start writing. It is Wednesday afternoon and all I have is a weak thesis and a shaky outline. However, I have been very busy getting ready to write this paper. How busy you might ask? Let me tell you.

First I thought that wearing my Hamline sweatshirt might stimulate my brain by reminding me of past papers successfully written at the last second. So I put that on.

Then I thought waking up bright and early and walking into town and spending the morning at the library would be a quiet and distract-less place for me to write.

But after about an hour of that, I got hungry. So I went to the BeanScene for some coffee and lo and behold... they have BAGELS! With cream cheese! Which, let me tell you, I have not seen since my feet left the grand soil of the US of A! So then I felt compelled to write a lengthy entry in my journal about the wonder that is a toasted bagel with cream cheese.

Then I realized I wasn't getting much work done... a hem... So I walked back to my house to get down to buisness behind my computer. But I got distracted by my bed. So I took just a leetle tiny nap and woke up refreshed and rarring to go!

But being in my bed had reminded me of a dream I had about celery. I'm sorry. I dream about celery, yes. I can't help the insanity of my dreams. But anyway, I decided that making ants-on-a-log would help me write my paper. So far, its helping me write this...

I have also given myself a manicure in the hopes that pretty finger-tips would make typing more fun.

Right. Okay. Time to write.

Oh and I also got extremely excited to read in the online version of the Star Trib that an H&M is opening at the Mall of America! Ahh! H&M is a clothing store that sells really cute clothes. Not gonna lie, I've spent hours and hours in H&M during this trip... but no money, oh no... no money. Riiiiiight.

Oh, by the way... Scotland is great. I saw Flogging Molly last week. That was amazing. Shauna, Rachel and I thought of you! I'll give you back your CD in June... hee hee. And I saw my Aunt and Uncle, Max and Pat, in Glasgow one last time before they left Scotland after their two week adventure here. And we called a bunch of our fam, including my Grandma and aunts Margaret and Barbara. And Rachel and I went shopping for the May Ball on May 6th. Oooh, so excited. I'm gonna be pretty.

Hey, is my paper written yet?
