I have to write 3,237 words today if I want to catch up. Tomorrow I'm probably going to have to revise my essay, Saturday I'll be gone half the day, and Sunday I'll be gone for the morning at least.

No no, I'm not a writing machine. I'm a total slacker who has to set herself a goal every night and then not allow myself to go to sleep until I meet it, even if that's 5am, and it sometimes is. Not a fast writer at all. Just very stubborn.

I find that the prospect of not being able to go to sleep until I've hit my daily target is a big motivator. I like my sleep.

It's snowing. If I had to go out today I wouldn't be impressed, but I think I'll get to stay inside with my lovely warm blankets all day long, so it's all good.

There were a few people with my name, but they're all old and dead.

I think my goal for this weekend is to make it to 5k. Yeah, that'd be pretty awesome.
