Procrastination

NP: Could he Dig Without Arms -- Forth Effect

This week is officially been declared "Disertation Editing Week" by yours truly. You see, the ability to churn out a chapter every three weeks leads to the need for heavy editing before the product moves on to a professor's desks. Some things I have learned after a close read of the first 15 pages of chapter 2.

1) John L. Lewis was an egotistical son of a bitch

2) There are only so many synonyms for "support," "faction," and "group." I think I have used all of them

3) Active voice is much better than passive voice

4) Things blur together when you spend too much time on them

5) It is easier to work in a coffee shop in the morning when it is dead, rather than when it is busy and kids are talking.

Ok....I'm going to break into some more observational humor. I'm at a table next to the window, with my back to a wall. I have one neighbor...a table in front of me with two girls. These girls are very, very loud. They also seem to hold well-formed opinions on things that know nothing about. They appear to be trying to study, as one has a TI-83 calculator (Thanks Office Depot!), but the fat girl sitting with her side to me, will not shut the hell up at all. I mean....I expect people to talk in a coffee shop (unlike the library from two posts prior), but this girl needs an off button in the worst way. She also has more chins than a shaving academy. As I typed that....she stuck her highlighter up her nose. I wish I had the vocabulary to accurately describe that to the blogosphere, but I just can't.

Lots of students attend the University of Florida, and these girls appear to know all of them. At least they have discussed half of them and what they wore out this weekend. I'm hoping that they have a 6:15 class, but the chances of that are looking slim.
