le paper.

i have just spent an afternoon writing a paper. it was one of those quiet days when you know due dates are imminent so you sit yourslef down in front of the computer and test your discipline - how long can you be focussed on your paper without being distracted? well, i've got 8 out of 12 pages completed so far. i figure, minus two pages - one for the introduction, one for the conclusion - so really, it's only two more pages of arguments. and that's definitely managable. i suppose writing this has really defeated my goal of being focussed. but since i've already written it, might as well post it.
