     I'm in a studious mood this morning,  which is fortunate, since I have nothing ahead of me today except intensive paper writing.  I'm enjoying it so far.  I've spent a lot of time this quarter working up to this paper--the final project for my research & lit class--and being able to finally put it all down on paper is satisfying. 

    Everything is nicely arranged to facilitate writing today.  Shorn and I had a great evening last night--nice quite dinner with close friends.  Slept in this morning, then did some whirlwind-commando housecleaning, so I don't even have that to distract me.  Shorn left a while ago to pick up Liam.  The two of them are eventually supposed to find their way back here, to spend the day hanging out and guy stuff like watching action movies and basketball games while eating sunflower seeds and drinking 44oz. Mt. Dews.  It will be good for them to spend the day doing the brotherly sort of stuff that they used to do--before I whisked Shorn away to do the marriage thing.  And I'll be less prone to distraction.  It's hard when it's just Shorn and I in the house, and I have work to do.  He says "Go! Study!"  but he looks so sad and forlorn and I know he just wants me to hurry up and finish so we can go out and do stuff.  And I'm left sitting at my desk thinking  "Hmm, do I want to write some more, or do I want to go to the movies?"  I'm not much of a workaholic.

    So, it's probably time to switch off my last distraction--the internet--and get down actually writing this thing.

    Cheers!
