Today

I have a paper I'm supposed to be writing. It's due a week from Friday. I'm not doing such a great job of researching. I took last week off and gave myself some time to relax and catch up with friends and family. Maybe that wasn't such a great choice because now it's even harder to get back into academic mode. I started trying to research on Monday, but so far I've spent more time researching a new digital camera, birthday presents, and future jobs/schools than I have Washington Irving. I really have been trying to be studious. I even refused to babysit my darling niece this week because I wanted to dedicate time to the paper. This afternoon I went to drop off my mom and decided to go in for just a minute so I could say hello to Claire. I thought she'd be sad when I had to leave. However, when I said I had to go, she jumped off the couch where we were cuddling, ran to the front door, and opened it for me. There's something about that little service that made me sad. At least she requested that I read her stories before bed time tonight. Ok, back to studiousness.
