Work.

I notice that I have a much easier time writing for fun than for school.

...

Well, duh!

From Making Light

Apparently, ionization of Moon dust can cause it to fly up in the air and hover above the ground.

What's more, this phenomenon was anticipated in a science-fiction story - one that I had read in a collection a couple years ago.

Fascinating as it is, however, it's not helping me write my paper.

*returns to essay*

Reprieve!

I just realized - my teacher pushed the deadline for email submission of the essay back a day.

That means that I'm not rushing to complete a pedestrian second-draft just in time to mail off. I'm merely carrying out a revision run to clarify my argument before I polish it for the final draft!

Incidentally - playing DDR with nanakikun? Totally rad! I don't think anyone else I know would even think to put $20 into the DDR box and play for two straight hours. Still better, he was sponsoring my half with that, in exchange for my bringing him lunch. I think I got the far better deal.

(By the way, for those of you who read the comments? He won.)
