The Cult of Lincoln

Thursday, April 19, 2007



My Sci-Fi final paper is due in 15 hours, and I just changed my topic. Why do I hate myself?

Though I must say, it's a lot easier to write when you switch from Out of the Silent Planet, Red Planet, and Ender's Game to War of the Worlds, Ender's Game, and an episode of Doctor Who.

It's my last paper as an undergrad. I'll write about whatever the heck I feel like for my third source, thank you very much! We just have to pick one book from the first half of the semester, one book from the second half, and the third can be absolutely anything. I've heard that other students are writing about Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, and Doctor Who, and one girl was considering writing about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I feel justified. I'll have to get the full list of non-class material written about in these papers from my TA.

*blasts "Doctorin' the TARDIS" in the privacy of my headphones*

Edit: Done at 10 AM, with two hours to go! I even got 4 1/2 hours of sleep out of the deal! WIN! God bless the miracle of e-texts, which allow me to find the quotes I need with minimal fuss.

Totally. Even though I have the books I need, I usually google my quotes, then refer back to my book to make sure I have page numbers.

Sounds like an awesome paper!
 
Wow! Shows what a good writer you've become to write a paper with so little time! You're amazing! Great work. You're moving right along on your list of big deadlines. You'll get there--Mum
