This is the month of essays

I have four essays due this month. I dislike this. I made a start on the first one earlier and got halfway through the introduction before realising that while I know what I want to talk about in a general sense, I haven't actually worked out what my thesis is and what I actually want my arguments to conclude. I've emailed my prof though, so hopefully she'll get back to me with some ideas.

This is why I start essays late; because I generally get halfway through my arguments before I realise what I'm actually arguing and can write my thesis statement.

I also have a headache, which isn't helping much. We're sitting in Dewie's drinking coffee and munching, which is more interesting than my room, but I don't have my (epically huge) text book with me to look at the sections I want to talk about. I've made a start at least...

The snow is now gone. It didn't stick around for very long and it's warmed up a little bit (it's not quite so bitterly freezing right now, although it is raining). My little forecast gadget is predicting flurries on Sunday, so we'll see what happens. I want more coffee...

Mmmm. Coffee is good. I think it might actually be helping with the headache... Admittedly the first mug didn't do anything.

I'm so not getting anything done, but there's coffee and company and therefore the situation is a win.
