I have two papers due Monday. I have an exam Monday. And I have another paper due Wednesday. I have yet to start any of these papers. This is not good. I think I was stung by something, on the back of my calf. Also, I am scared that the birthmark on my left forearm [...]
It’s 3:13 AM and I’ve got one single-spaced page done for my RELI286 paper, due at noon. This is the last of the three papers that were due Friday, Sunday, and now today. That means that I won’t have to think of another paper for at least a week! w00t. I’ve discovered that Peppermint Schnapps [...]

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Tonight will be an all-nighter. And I’m canceling the few fun plans I had this weekend—or at least drastically scaling them back. And after tonight (if I survive), I still have yet to write two more papers. This is, without a doubt, the most densely stressful period at school [...]
I can’t stop listening to “Tessellate” by Tokyo Police Club. I purchased the song about 24 hours ago, and I’ve already listened to it 35 times. Delightful. What’s less delightful is my schedule for the next five days.
I’ve got quite a bit on my mind. The problem is not that I haven’t had time to write it all down, but rather that, first, I haven’t had the ability to sit down and put my thoughts into words, and second, that I haven’t been managing my time in anything like an efficient manner.
Mm, first day of classes after Spring Break. Woke up at 10 o’clock, showered, headed off to ECON256, and got my paper back: a B+. Not bad, but not what I was looking for. I need all A’s this semester in order to preserve my GPA. Anyway, I stuffed that paper in my bag and [...]

Looking at the long-outdated websites of old bands that I love makes me sad. Take, for example, the website of Something Corporate. The artwork reflective of their 2003 release North, the headline story about a 2002 show at Tower Records. The pre-Web 2.0 cluttered design (actually a bit refreshing), the falling leaves in the Flash [...]

Well, I suppose I could go to sleep for four hours. It’s 5:13, after all. But it’s pouring rain outside, and there’s a huge squall line of thunderstorms heading right for us: winds in excess of 60 mph are expected within the hour, according to the National Weather Service. Apparently there is a Flood Watch [...]

Why have I never previously discovered the benefits of listening to angry metal while writing a paper? My renewed interest in some old favorites, NIN and Korn, is making for a very passionate paper-writing experience. Plus, I discovered that NIN’s “Head Like a Hole” is really all about Taylorism and the struggle between workers and [...]
As I earlier mentioned, I finished my RELI286 paper very early this morning. I think it came out pretty well! I emailed it to my professor at 4:28 AM, a respectable 7.5 hours before it was due: a very un-Justin-like behavior, to be sure. Then I slept for five hours. Woke up at 10 o’clock, [...]
