Distractions!
I'm trying very very hard to focus on my paper but there are so many distractions! There is always something more interesting to read, or someone to talk to, but I have been doing pretty well so far I think (except for the hour that I spent at the Embassy Office keeping Steve company. What a whiny lonely boy.) But, I've already written 4 out the requisite 10 pages, so I'm feeling pretty good. Good enough, in fact, that I think i'll quit early and go for coffee with Steve at 5. I feel as though I deserve a reward for finally getting my butt in gear. : )
