Oh, it's going to be a long night... My PoR midterm and journal are due tomorrow.

The journal is up to just over 3 pages of 1.5 spaced semi-free-writing reflection, much of it thus far focused on Anselm's ontological argument. I have a deep dislike for that particular piece of writing. I have now had to read it twice, and both times I have become frustrated and written nasty things in the margins and/or complained to whoever is around (or the book, if I'm alone) that it's stupid and the assumptions frustrate me. l have relieved my hatred for it once today with the journal, and I am preparing to delve into it again, hopefully in a more coherent and formal manner, for my midterm paper.

The plan is this - work on the midterm paper until my mind goes numb (which, sadly, won't be too long), then switch back over to typing up/adding to the journal entries I scribbled out over October break. When my brain comes alive again, it's back to the paper I go. Coffee has already been drunk, whatever caffeine there is in the soda machine will likely be next. Sleep is to be avoided as long as possible, because once I let myself sleep I lose control and can't stop.

Somewhat motivating me (you know, besides the impending deadline of doom that is 1:15 pm on Thursday) is the chance to actually listen to Erik's show for once. It's tonight (tomorrow morning) from 2 to 4 am. I hope to make it at least through part of it.

And now it's go time. Eep.
