I have discovered the magic method to getting papers written! It's simply this: capslock bold text that says PUT SOMETHING HERE. Because that way I don't get stuck trying to figure out how to say one specific thing and can move on to the next thing I actually do have the words for, and then I can come back and fix the rest of it later.

(That's how I plan on writing my introduction and conclusion, too. Um.)

And this is doubly useful because I have no chem class tomorrow morning but am eating breakfast at 7 anyway, so I'll have between an hour and an hour and a half in which to do this, instead of less than half an hour like normal.

I still sort of want to go to sleep, get up at five, and finish it then, but I have a feeling if I did that I'd end up going back to sleep and having between an hour and an hour and a half to write the rest of my paper. That, I think would be a very very bad thing.

(No, actually, I don't think it, I know it. I know because of my learnings.)

I do that with my papers, too! Only I have to also highlight it in some really obnoxious color; once I forgot to actually put something there and spent a few frantic minutes searching for white-out and something intelligent to say before the teacher took them up.

That's actually a really good idea. Thanks. (You rock.)

Ahahahaha. I am not that inventive when writing my papers (which is, um, kind of sad).

I think I need to get a 'I don't know what this is' icon, so I can just comment here without actually having to write anything.

:D

I did! I felt I owed it to her to have an icon of her, since I'm always commenting on her hotness. :D
