It's 3:43 in the morning...

...and I haven't gotten anything done.

I have a paper due for my first-year seminar due on Thursday.  Basically, I have to take the article my group was assigned to present and summarize it in narrative form.  My first paper/presentation was a western conceptualization of a "land ethic."  Then I had an article on the "color blind principle," and now it's the "Contestation and Consensus" of the morality of abortion in Japan.

To be quite honest, I could really care less about the Japanese struggle and succeeding consensus in Japan on abortion.  I can, on occasion, get passionate about abortion, but the multiculturalism in this class is really starting to piss me off.  To use his own jargon, I am a structuralist, and my professor is not.  Another day I will explain what that means and why I think cultural plays a minimal role in shaping history.

Before I write these narratives, I usually take notes on the article with my computer.  From these notes I write most of my paper, but this article is so boring and I am so lacking motivation at the end of this semester that I have done next to nothing tonight.  I went to eat with some friends, came back, read the news, and texted a friend for a while.  Then I read the High Point Regional Board of Education minutes.  Yes, I was that desperate.

It's snowing outside, and it's coming down pretty heavy.  They might cancel classes if this snow doesn't turn to rain, but Wednesday is my day off anyway.  I may have to work on this paper tomorrow; I'm dozing off in the common room as we speak, so before my head smashes into the keyboard I'm going to go to bed.  If this message is inconhorent, I will fix it in the morning.
