This is one of the most beautiful days in quite awhile. The sky is blue, the birds...pigeons are chirping and it's a perfect temperature. The NFL draft is on TV, and I get to sit on my computer, toiling away on my damn papers.
I'm not going to lie about this, I have a tendency to believe that I have ADD. I'll walk away from my computer for the smallest distraction. So I came to that conclusion...I have ADD, then I realized that I've sat for three hours stints if not more, editing photographs and playing video games. It's just a simple matter of the material I'm working with. Oh well.
So all last night and this morning I've been working on editing my paper. It's amazing that even after going through the thing three times, there are still areas that need massive amounts of work. It doesn't help that the thing is 40 pages, so that really slows down the number of drafts, but that's okay.
Yesterday Laura left for Ireland for the week, so that sucks. She was my awesome editor. I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for her guidance and whip cracking. I guess I'd have written more blog entries :)
I got a call from one of the attorneys that I used to work for inviting me to work on this project this weekend. I was ready to tell him no way, not a chance...I have to work on my paper and then he told me that they were paying $45/hr. Well... I thought... I can't very well leave him hanging in a lurch :) So I think that tomorrow I'm going to head over there for a few hours worth of work. I'm going to get to bed early tonight so that I can get in at least two solid hours of paper writing, then head over to DUMBO Brooklyn to the warehouse and work on that. Then later on in the evening I am going to be working at some convention for the Democratic committee. Not really something that's worth my time, but I owe the guy that's running it, so I should throw in a few hours. I'll get paid...I think like $10/hr...not quite the $45, but still decent.
Well now that's it's 3:00, I'm going to get cracking on my paper again. I have about three pages worth of writing that I need to mesh back into a section that's in the paper. It's going to be amazing.
