Woe is me

I've spent almost all day today doing research. I really feel like I still don't know what I'm doing, or what I'm going to say, and most of all I am terrified that I don't have enough information to fill 12 pages, even though I've read five books on this in the past 48 hours. (Okay, so I skimmed some of them. But not everything in them was relevant, anyway). Soooo... right now, I'm trying not to freak out over all of this, but it's sort of a hard thing to do. I've promised myself that before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to have at least four pages written. Hopefully that way I'll know if I need to dig up more stuff to talk about and can hide out in the library tomorrow. At least tonight will be good for an all-nighter. With all the storms rolling in (I can hear the thunder starting now), I won't be able to sleep anyway. There's an actual tornado watch... which is real fun since I was just sitting around earlier today wondering what we're supposed to do in this dorm in case of a tornado. There's no way all of us would fit in the basement.

I really shouldn't be sort of hoping for a natural disaster so I can have a little longer to finish these papers. Who am I kidding, though? There's no way we'd get out of finals anyway.
