terrypurple73I should either go to bed, or work on this paper. I should not sit here checking livejournals for the millionth time. Because people aren't updating, and people aren't emailing me, and this isn't even aimed at anyone in particular, I just like taking study breaks.
I told the four year olds today, "You have a choice. You can either lay quietly on your cot, or you can color quietly at the table. Those are your only two options." Did they listen? No. Am I listening as I give myself the two option of what I should be doing? No.
The paper really is coming along well, though. Well, the rough draft part, I mean. I've read all six of my articles, and have written up my stuff on five of them. So one more to go, plus putting it together in a managable format, coherent enough to be called a rough draft. And that last part shouldn't take that long. Neither should the other part. So why amn't I doing this? Victoria, why aren't you yelling at me to get back to work? It just isn't effective when my parents tell me.... I will stop whining. I will just go to bed, no more paper tonight. I suppose.
