well, shit

Revelation #1: Five-page paper that I thought was due Thursday (and was already panicking about whether or not I'd be able to get it done while also getting my other readings done and some sleep) is actually due tomorrow. So... I will be writing it this afternoon, and tonight at work, and tonight after work, and tomorrow morning.

Revelation #2: I forgot my thumb-drive, meaning that any and all writing on said essay that I do today will have to be emailed to myself each and every time I have to switch computers. Which will be at least twice, probably three times.

Revelation #3: Even if I skip my poetry class to write, there is almost no way I can write a five-page paper and do the required reading of Grettir's Saga both before tomorrow at 1pm, when I have to go to my sagas class, which lasts til 3:30. The paper is due at 4:30. Therefore, I will most likely have to skip my favorite class in order to finish a paper for my least favorite class. And then go to school to turn in said paper around the same time as my class lets out, thus running the risk of running into my professor, thus risking death by embarassment if I have to explain to her that I had to skip her class so I could write my paper for another class.

Also, I just made it to the computer lab in time to miss the rush and actually get a computer... and realized that I forgot to stop at a mailbox to send off a very important piece of mail. Fuck.

Doom. That's all I have to say. DOOM.

This is the universe's way of saying "don't you ever leave things til the last minute like this, ever again." At which I cower, cover my head, and say "waaah, I'm sorry!!"

Good luck! I hope you get everything done.

Later this week/this weekend, when you have more time, will you be available for darkness fading related plotting?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Me too - 2 pages of quotes are currently copied, and after I finish that I can start organizing and analyzing.

Sure! I should be freed up a bit by late afternoon Thursday, at the latest.

Just take it easy, pace yourself, and you'll get it done. Tea and a dinner plate will be waiting for you when you get home.

Thank you! *Hugs* Seeing Sibyll's little 'valentine' over at IB definitely cheered me up. Especially the image a of a Shatner-esque voice reciting that poor sonnet!

We're having the lime chicken tonight. I'll fix you up a plate and put it in the fridge so it will be ready for you.

Yes! That had me giggling. :-)

Wooo!

Deep breaths - I'm sending 'inspiration vibes' towards you. Hopefully they will reach you and enable you to whip out a brilliant 5-pager with scant effort, leaving enough time to lesiurely read your saga and have time left over for a bubble bath with aromatherapy bath salts and a nice fruit smoothie on the side!

Wheeeeeee, thank you. I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes, at this point, and very very very cautiously saying that it kind of looks like I might be okay. *Knocks on wood*

Well, I was going to see if you wanted to get coffee this week, but it sounds like you're really, really busy. Hope your paper writing goes well.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Next week, maybe?

Well, at least I'll be picking you up from work tonight. You can spend the time you'd be waiting for bus on your paper and readings.
It'll be ok, you've come through tough spots before, and I know you can do it thid time!! Any thing I can bring you that will help?
Do you have tea, creamer, chocolate? (aside from the tp and kitty litter which are ready to go of course.) Let me know.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should be okay... now it's just a matter of stringing the 3.5 pages of quotes I gathered up into a 5+ page paper that makes coherent sense and has some sort of sane argument as opposed to "ooo, look at all the thingies I found in the book."

I have tea, chocolate, milk... am drinking tea, in fact, at this very moment. I should be set. And I'll be looking forward to seeing you tonight! Oh! Lemme run and find some pics of Duncan and Methos for you. It'll be a good mental break for me. ;)
