I just finished formatting and bibliographing my American Political Thought paper. (11 pages plus bibliography; 2,130 words including bibliography.) I'm not entirely sure that it's not total crap, but hey, at least I'm turning something in that demonstrates that I've read the text.

The problem is that it's now ten past 4 AM and I'm not whatsoever tired. Maybe I'll work on my Latin paper. Or Poetry; that could be fun, too. (Archy the cockroach as Sophoclean hero.)

(..."Earlhamim"?)

I'm going to be in the campus coffeeshop all day, working on a paper on the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union leading up to and during the Cold War. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome.

As an aside, am I the only person who prefers "Soviet Union" to "Russia"? The words, I mean, not the concepts; I know the USSR doesn't exist anymore, and that "Russia" is the name of a country that was formerly the political center of the USSR. I just like the sound of "Soviet" more, I guess. Maybe it's because of the timing of the end of the Cold War; just when I was figuring out what the Cold War was all about, it ended! So Russia always sort of seemed like a usurper, so to speak; the dissolution happened just when I'd gotten "Soviet Union" fixed in my head.

Anyway. Coffeeshop, paper, all day, you are invited.
