osprey_archerI have two papers due this week. One is written and done with and contains a quote by Keats. The other is due Wednesday, and I've written for it the Most Horrible Draft ever, so terrible that I've chucked it entirely and started a new draft, which would be helpful except that I have nothing to say because I have no idea what precisely this paper is supposed to be about because he never exactly explained it, despite my mournful pleas for clarification. I'm supposed to be finding my voice or refining my historical interests or something.
(I already have a voice. I can't imagine he wants me to write this paper as if it were an LJ entry and/or a story. "And then Theodore Roosevelt and Emma Goldman were forced to work together to stem the zombie apocalypse! Roosevelt thought it was the most fun ever.")
Crisis looms! Doom impends! I made a raspberry-apple pie.
The crust stayed together this time! I used brown sugar in the shortbread dough, which has nothing to do with it staying together but everything to do with extra deliciousness.
Sadly I can't turn it in for a grade, but at least I have a delicious breakfast for tomorrow. It will help me write! Somehow!

I'm not sure what Emma Goldman would be doing, though. That is a minor problem. Maybe the zombies are the result of an industrial accident that gave the workers in that factory an insatiable appetite for brains?

Date: 2012-09-19 02:49 am (UTC)It will probably never be written, because I'm also not a big fan of zombie apocalypses, but I will be sure to share any fun Roosevelt or Emma Goldman facts that I stumble across in my research.
