Smaller than a bread box, bigger than a pea

So I have this really important paper due on February 13th.  The paper is for law review and has to be at least 40 pages long, well-researched and of publishable quality.  If I don't receiving a passing grade for the paper, then I will not pass law review which means I will be 6 units short from graduating (which you know what that spells - D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R).  

Last semester Joel and I were super into the election so I decided to write my paper on election law.  Naturally I only did the bare minimum (not purely out of laziness...last semester happened to be a very hectic semester) and now I have to turn in 20 pages of my paper on Monday.  So, I thought that it was about time to get started on the thing.

I sat down last Monday to begin the writing process and somehow was able to postpone putting words on a page until 2 days ago.  To say that I am a bit stressed is an understatement.  My procrastination was getting especially out of hand and I noticed that the rest of my world was tumbling as well.  The kitchen was a mess, I was forgetting to feed the cat, and we were eating out every night because I had not gone grocery shopping in a very long time.  Drastic measures had to be taken.  So I went to the source.  The internet.

Since I was experiencing VERY little self-control when it came to surfing the internet, I did the only thing I knew how to do. I begged Joel to take the modem to work with him the next day (yesterday) so that I could not physically go onto the internet.  Well, internet, it worked!  Kinda.

On my way home from a very long day at school, I stopped by the post office and mailed off a book, I donated our old items to the Goodwill, and I finally went grocery shopping.  When I got home I washed the mountain of dishes, put the grocery away, then made a chicken roast.  However, I did not work on my paper.

So Joel took the modem again today.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are lax days since I only have one class for an hour.  I got home around 1 today, made some lunch then watched some Friends until I fell asleep.  So I guess if I'm not on the internet, then I'm sleeping?  I'm not quite sure what this says about me.  I finally woke up around 5 completely drenched in sweat and quite delirious.  I felt this was the time to start my paper.  The adrenaline kicked in and I whipped out 3 1/2 pages single spaced!  Success!  I'm slowly eaking out those 20 pages due on Monday.  Needless to say, Joel will definitely be taking the internet with him again tomorrow.
