At Least It's Essay Related...

Okay, it's just after one o'clock in the morning. My essay is due at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I've been doing some math: on average, I can type, let's say, 60 words a minute (if I know what I'm going to type, but that's besides the point). So that means that I can type 600 words every 10 minutes, and 3600 words every hour. Now, let's say each page of text has about 300 words on it. 20 pages means that I need 6000 words. So, according to the numbers, it should only take me...

*calculating numbers in my head* *carrying the one* *searching for the calculator*

...one hour and forty minutes to finish this baby in its entirety. But, failing that, then I can do some more calculations:
let's say I type 10 words a minute, every minute for 10 hours. I will achieve the same number of words as if I went crazy mad for one hour and forty minutes, and still be able to catch 2 hours of sleep before heading out to hand in the essay. Both ways of calculated attack sound great, but knowing me, my essay's going to be born out of a mutated combination of both methods--it will be done and handed in before the end of class tomorrow, but it will probably neither be proof-read, nor titled very accurately. Ah well...back to the essay...

faaaaaaack. I've just spent an hour reading up on blogs--my own as well as others'. According to my calculations I could have either been more than halfway through my essay, or I could have written 600 words/2 pages by now!!! Well, at least Pablo's read was worth it...whew!!!

Guess how many pages I've written? ...okay, not that many. ...Oh come on, give me a little more credit than that...I'm not at TOTAL slacker. Anyway, as I am no longer on page 2.5 and my ass and legs are completely and painfully numb, I'm going to go for a walk, some water, and maybe some instant noodles. We'll see how I feel when I get to the kitchen. What I could really go for though, is some SUSHI...

(I'm waiting for my water to boil.) I was just thinking how sad it is that spammers steal all the good email addresses for themselves--correct me if I'm wrong. I was just blocking some spam via my awesomely cool, anti-spam program, MailWasher Pro, and I noticed addresses such as "greeneyes@whatever.com", or "noteworthyfragrance@somethingelse.com", or "4thePattersons@theotherdomain.com". I mean, what happens if you HAVE greeneyes, or if you CREATED a noteworthy fragrance, or worse yet, if you ARE the Pattersons? Then what? Stupid selfish spammers, hogging all the good things for themselves.
