dun dun DOOONE!
So I'm doing better on the whole speed thing. Finished my essay at 3:08. That's over 2 hours off my last time! woohoo! (granted I skipped a class and work to do some this morning... but I also worked on it some yesterday, so i think I'm improving.)
I'd estimate I worked on this 8-page essay for about... 7-8 hours. that's pretty close to my fastest time this year. hooray! Really, the key to it was working from like 10-12:30 this morning, and taking a 15-minute nap every hour to keep fresh. Yeah, naps at 10 seem really lame. And it's been a while since I could fall asleep, dream, and wake up in the span of 15 minutes. woah.
OK, off to sweet wonderful bed! Next big hurdle - study tomorrow and the next day very hard on my American History test. This is the one I have good theses for, but develop ideas poorly. Oh wait, that's pretty much the story of my life, not just this class... so I'm going to have a sheet of lots of facts I memorize, so I can get a nice juicy B+ on this paper. O yeah.
