plugging away - with results!
since monday, nov. 27:
hours slept - 56.5 (11 last night [far too much], after staying up for 41 consecutive hours.)
hours worked - 40
hours studied - 45
pages written - 25.5
tests completed - 3
food eaten (last 24 hours) - burger king (whopper with cheese no onion, large cherry pepsi and a medium fry, bacon cheeseburger, apple pie), snickers bar, 2 20oz mountain dews, various small chocolates, gum. actually no naked juices today.
last visit home - slept from last night at 4am to today at 3pm. left the house at 4p (after an amazing, much-needed shower), am now returning to sleep for about 4 1/2 hours (it's 5am).
i'm almost 4 pages into my thesis, and the intro is looking pretty good, if i do say so myself. i have the framework down and i think i just accidentally wrote my thesis statement (deep into page 4 - take that, rules!). tomorrow's objectives are to finish the intro, write the ideological comparison, and then it's america day, where i write about the american military response to a policy of torture in the global war on terror. that will be the bulk of the paper - if i can keep that part under 20 pages, i'll be sitting pretty to finish on time, but no promises there. i wonder if i can write that much in one day (though i did write about 22 pages in, say, 11 hours or so the other day...). then it's the french part - their response to a policy of torture in algeria in the 1950s and 60s.
hopefully this is done - like, completely done - by saturday afternoon so i can write my international law paper (a mere 10-15 pages). i won't get anything done on friday - last dn football game and last banquet. not planning on sleeping much tomorrow.
look for further updates, and keep counting those pages with me.
