I’m still working on this stupid paper that’s due Thursday. At this point, I’m incredibly tired of this topic, but I have another 1,000 words to write, minimum. But it’s going better now that I have multiple things going on on the computer at one time. I’ve doubled the amount I had written as of last night since I sat down at 8:00 this morning.

I’m listening to a distance-ed class that I missed last Tuesday night. They actually talked about stuff that pertains to my paper, even though this paper isn’t for that class. I’m taking notes from the lecture too.

I’m surfing the boards (naturally).

And I’m reviewing my sources to make sure I haven’t missed anything huge.  
Look at me go! I may actually finish this paper today (if I don’t get hungry and desperately need lunch).

WooHoo! Mutli-tasking is the way forward. I’m currently reading a paper which may be pertinent to my research paper, fitting a spectrum to my data, surfing the boards, and finding out the spatial extent of my galaxy in terms of the Xrays its emitting.

I’m reading two message boards and watching TV.

Even when multi-tasking, I’m lazy.
