The Paper That Refused to Write Itself

I've been writing on this Master's paper a lot lately.  When I say writing on, I mean opening, realizing it's a huge undertaking, and immediately minimizing it.  Since I opened it weeks ago, I have yet to hit the red "x", but I've also yet to write anything but a current date.  


I'm waiting. 


I'm pretty sure that if I wait long enough, it will write, edit, and publish itself.  Or, that plagiarizer scanner will come back in July with 80% plagiarized.  That just took me seven tries to spell the word plagiarized - Thanks Google Chrome for suggesting pasteurized.
The paper isn't due until the middle of July, but I have a huge summer planned...I'm going to be out of town for ten straight days in June.  YIKES!  Additionally, I don't have the data to actually finish writing the paper, so I need to "collect" that before the last day of school.  Yeah, sure. 


"Here guys, take this survey."
"Ummm, (hand raised) what does this mean?"
"Just pick which one sounds the best."


There, data collected - winning.   


Things I want as graduation gifts (assuming I actually finish):
1.  10 shares of Facebook - just so I can say that I have more than just every free minute invested in it.       

2.  A bike.  I like to pretend that I will ride it this summer and fall - obviously without a helmet because I'm too cool for the safety gear.  

3.  A raise.

4.  New shoes - lots and lots of new shoes. 

Now, back to laying on the couch, watching NBA basketball, and sending all of the energy I have to the Thunder to shut the overrated Lakers out.  BAM!
