Sri's Life At IU!: The 8-step plan to writing papers

There's nothing remotely fun about the thing that I have to do for the next 24 hours: intense paper writing. I have, and I kid you not, more papers due tomorrow than I have had all month. Did I say month? I meant semester.

I have a 15 page gem due for marketing, a 20 page case brief due for telecommunications, a 1 page paper for accounting, two more 3 page papers for two other telecommunications classes, and one 200 page book review, all due by 6pm tomorrow. Being the go-getter I am, I haven't started any of these.

*sigh*

I believe what I have done here is very metaphorically "painted myself into a corner". So, I created a game plan to deal with this intense paper situation:

Firstly, as always, energize:

Yes, that is yet another energy drink I let poison my system during and leading up to finals week. It's not my favorite, but I did give my Monster away to a friend. So, three week old Full Throttle, ftw.

Secondly, get the most awesomely meaningful shirt on. Pick one that is sophisticated, meaningful, and in general, extremely kickass:

No Stresspassing. Nuff said.

Thirdly, do not start conducting a photo shoot session because you found old 3-d glasses while digging through your closet:

I got these while watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It was also the night I went just a little bit overboard and painted all my nails bright *bright* pink. Speaking off...

Fourthly - Just because you remembered how awesome your nails look being bright pink, do not go paint all your nails pink:

Damn, they look good. Don't they?

Fifth(ly) - Turn the lighting up. Well lit areas = more concentration. Fact.

Do not blind yourself. Very very important to NOT blind yourself.

Sixthly, turn off the John Mayer. Battle Studies is an awesome album, and no matter how much Edge of Desire speaks to you, or Heartbreak Warfare makes you tear up, it is not an appropriate track for paper writing.
