Firstly:
US civil rights icon Parks dies.
Sad news. But, proof that one person in the right place, at the right time, who does the right thing, can tip the balance of history.
Secondly:
I knew this was going to happen, but OMG SO MUCH WORK. Here is the list of everything it would be lovely to get done this afternoon -
-Finish German essay (500ish more words) - 2500 words total!
-Finish French essay (in French, 500ish more words, maybe more) - 1456 words total.
At this point, I went for a coffee and to read the paper. Ooops.
-Type up German > English translation
It's now 4.37pm. Will not get everything done. Ah well, do I ever?
-Do French > English translation
It is now 5.59. So yes, at least I came to the end of something at the right time. The only bit I really really should have done as well is to prepare for that debate. Ah well. I have 40 minutes tomorrow morning, in theory...
-Do English > German translation
-Prepare for debate in German
-Buy milk - the only productive outcome of my little sojourn to hall for coffee.
I will cross these off this afternoon as I do them. Hopefully this will motivate me, so you don't all see what a hopeless slacker I am. Formal hall tonight, so I have until 6pm. It is now 1.17pm.
