I am two pages away from having completed my last major paper for the quarter. Notice it is about 5 a.m. I am dead tired. Despite not going into work once yet this week in order to devote all of my time to reading the book for this paper that I had put off until finishing the last paper, I still didn't get a full eight hours of sleep each day. I've been up until at least 5 a.m. almost every night this week, and I've been waking myself up around noon. Not terrible, but not conducive to not falling asleep in front of a very slow novel. (A 498-page slow novel, by the way.)

Anyway, it's almost over (I hope). I don't know when I'm supposed to turn in this paper tomorrow, but I plan to hand it in whenever I can get into Kresge Hall in the morning. At least I think it goes to Kresge, as that's where her office is. God knows.

In other news, I won my election for Residential College Board Vice President of Public Affairs. (Yes, I can hear you groaning.) I think it's the first contested election I have ever won. Every other leadership position I've had I've gotten through either being appointed or uncontested. (Sort of like how I ended up being the secretary -- I think -- of the Forensics Club but almost never heard about it because I never went to the pre-school day meetings.) At the very least, this news is affirming to me.
