Almost Done!

Wrote my history exam this morning. I think I've read books shorter than what I wrote for that. Three and half of those nice booklets, single spaced, both sides of the page... that's like what 20 pages?! Worst part is it probably wasn't very well done.
However, I'm done. Just need to finish this paper, find a friend who isn't studying for exams to read it for me and then I'll be done.
Soo... I'm at 1169. It has to be at least 2700, but no more than 4000. I think I'll be closer to the 4000 mark, cause I'm only moving onto my second argument now. At least I'm not worried about not having enough to say. That's a bit of a relief.

12:35pm - 1230 words. And according to Microsoft Word, "Carrot" is a synonym for "inducement". Note to self: do not rely on Microsoft's thesaurus anymore.

1:54pm - Still at 1230 words. But I'm home now. And I'm gonna eat and run a couple last minute moving errands with Pauline. Then I'll be back to work on the paper.

4:33pm - I have strawberries. And now I'm going to go outside and work on my paper.

6:04pm - 1753 words. Its absolutely gorgeous. Decided to come in when my legs started to fall asleep and the wind kept blowing my pages away, after I kicked a ball around with a couple kids for a bit.

7:34pm - I haven't gotten back to the paper yet. Had hotdogs.. well veggie dogs. And I've been just sitting here. I'm not too worried about it cause I know I've got lots of time tonight, though I do need to be up at a reasonable time cause I've got a meeting tomorrow but still. Got lots of time.

8:35pm - 1850 words. I'm really not getting very far very fast am I? Well I"ve got 25 minutes before Drive and 24 come on. So... lets get to 2000. I'm actually running out of stuff to say, so I might actually only write 2500. But we'll see.

10:30pm - 2081 words. I've watched Drive, I like that show. Now we're into 24. Its kinda cool to be caught up, except we have to deal with the commericals and the week by week wait.

11:28pm - I hate footnoting. Especially when its something I don't know how to do, like say... lega citation. Dave says he has a book or something that might be helpful... not sure if I care enough right now though... I just want it to be over.

12:19pm - 3208 words. Okay. I'm done. My footnotes suck but I"m hoping he'll accept them as good enough. The apartment is very very warm. I don't like it. At all.
Anyways, I'm going to submit the paper and then go to bed. Haven't gotten a ton of sleep the last few days, except when I shouldn't have ben sleeping so I'm going to sleep tonight and attempt to make a meeting ontime tomorrow. Later all.

1:01am - One quick comment. My prof replied to my email in which I sent him my paper within at least a minute. This man is the speedy gonzalaz of answering emails. Its crazy. Okay. Bed now.

It is too!!! We talk about "carrot-and-stick" deplomacy all the time in international relations! It means inducements and punishments to get a nation to do what you want them to do!
