Frankly, my dear.

Note to all dorm dwellers:

StarKist tuna “flavor fresh pouches” are the best thing since sliced bread, and they’re pretty damned good on sliced bread too.  Little Miracle Whip and you’re all set.

back to your regularly scheduled blog.

Blogs are sinister, sinister things.

You know what I mean, unless you don’t. I’m just saying.

Blogs–you find yourself checking them way too often. “Who’s posted? How many hits? Comments? Comments? What’s that thing stuck between d and f? Why do I eat by my computer?” I should be looking up support for –oh, I should talk about that.

I have a particularly bogging class–the workload! the workload!–English Language and Composition. Funny thing, I’m a writer, and I’m just sucking it up in that class. It’s the first time I’ve gotten less than an A on a research paper, and it stings. Maybe that has to do with my loathing of the material. Who knows. People do that sometimes.

Right now, we’re writing an argument to …something, I think it’s discuss. An argument to discuss? But before I go on a tangent on that.

My topic: genetic engineering. My thesis: because the funding for genetic engineering currently comes completely from the private sector, there is the danger of company competition and eventual patenting of this technology. This danger carries unforseen political repercussions.

…or something that doesn’t suck so bad. But you get the point. I hope.

Either way, I need to find articles with support. Which means: lots of outside sources on patenting, government policy on patenting, specifically dealing with technology and biotechnology (I’m reaching out on this one) and a little more on the government policy on genetic engineering.

Due at 3 pm today. For those in other time zones, it’s 1:10 pm where I exist, and I won’t exist for long if I don’t get this done.

So that’s what I should be doing. Instead, I’m back here, typing away about how I am quickly devolving into hungry comment whore. This is fun. (Well, it really kind of is.)

You know what this thing has mainly done for me? I now realize exactly how much I have to write about. I didn’t think much interesting happened to me, until I got this. Yesterday, I couldn’t stop the ideas from flowing into my head. It was brilliant. I haven’t felt particularly…anything, lately. I haven’t thought. But somehow this is helping. Well, cool.

Before I procrastinate myself into oblivion.

また明日。
