procrastination is a vital study tactic

A stupid thing I almost made my status, but decided it was too long and too nerdy:

Typical (Medieval Lit) Post-Grad Evening:
hour 1- 10/2,000 words of an introduction, and a growing hatred for palaeography.

hour 2- giving up, surfing Facebook for too long, and eating a baked potato with gusto.

hour 3- renewed vigor! searching library catalogs, WorldCat and JSTOR in a fit of rage.

hour 4- registering for a free 30-day trial subscription to the chicago manual of style. poring over footnotes/bibliography rules.

hour 5- 100/2,000 words, and increasing interest in medieval Scottish court proceedings.

hour 5.5- JSTOR VICTORY IS SWEETER THAN LIFE ITSELF, and a "huh, this is fascinating."

Seriously, I knew there had to be a reason I was in academia.
