...The All-Nighter

As my first all-nighter in a long time, I feel that tonight is something special. This is the night I spend 12 hours writing a research paper on something I care very little about. I regurgitate information from a multitude of sources at an exhausting rate, citing craziness left and right. I organize and re-organize and throw in some opinions and a bullshit argument for good measure. I rework my thesis statement over and over again because I have no idea what I'm talking about. I space out and stare at the wall for long periods of time now and then, only to look at the clock and see that 30 minutes have passed. I step back from my paper for a second and realize I'm sore all over. This is the stuff dreams are made of. 15-20 pager due tomorrow, and then a 5-6k word one due wednesday. throw in my final painting and you have what i'll be doing up until finals week! stay tuned for a rant on rituals and ceremonies!
