Everyday I have grand plans of writing two pages (the magic formula according to everyone I've talked to) but I get distracted by facebook, the Real Housewives of every city on earth, and the obsessive checking of my email. I probably have a disorder, extreme avoidance disorder, or something like that.
I was supposed to write the bulk over the summer to I would be on track to graduate in December and not have to worry about writing once school starts (less than two weeks from now) but instead, I took a group of 30 Texans to Italy - an experience that deserves its own blog - but needless to say there was no time for writing this summer. So, I decided I'd write when I got home.....not taking into account the fact that I had to move to a new apartment, go visit the fam, and then train two new teachers (with two new books). Yup, good plan.
So I want a refund. Today I've spend nearly six hours at the computer and I wrote one paragraph. And it's not even a good one! Although I did use the word "juxtapose" and have already quoted the primary text, so I think I deserve a break. Hence the blog post.
