When distraction goes worse
I'm sitting here in the computer lab, failing to concentrate on summarizing a case brief for Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (for Constitutional Law), and, then stupidly, I follow a link from a Wikipedia article on Bruce Babbitt (who happened to be the Secretary of the Interior after Manuel Lujan) and end up reading through the profiles of last year's Marshall Scholarship recipients.
Wrong thing to do.
I'm feeling swamped by my four more case briefs, plus my sixty pages of reading to do, plus all the research and packing I need to do for a Model UN Conference I leave for in 27 hours. I don't have the faculty of mind to even think about the fast-approaching off-campus study application due date, even less to keep in mind that I won't be performing groundbreaking research so much as I'll be doing tourism with classes twice a week. Meanwhile, "around his busy course schedules, [Marshall Scholar Jacob Bourjailly] has found time to publish research in supersymmetric dark matter cosmology and high energy particle physics phenomenology, presenting results at several international conferences and universities." Let us also not forget the work of Rebecca Homkes: "dedicated to economic development, especially through improved access to education, she coordinated a federal lobbying trip as a freshmen, is an active student tutor, worked on development policy for the local mayoral campaign, and also currently coordinates a Jobs program which assists local residents in job search and mentors in professional skills." Quotes from http://www.marshallscholarship.org/profiles2005.html.
I wish I could be more superlative.
