So, I'm freaking about my approaching oral exam. I should have read tonight but I didn't. I worked on the new proposal. I have to turn in chapters to my prof tomorrow and right now, they totally suck. My original opening was BORING. I think I fixed it while at son's soccer practice, so hopefully it's less boring than it was, but that's not saying much. Still, now that I know my heroine is 6 ft tall with short black hair, she came together much better on the pages. Repeat after me a bazillion times, Carolyn has to work hard at writing stronger heroines. OK, anyone reading that last sentence, you don't have to do that I do. But I'll be turning in a chapter 3 that right in the middle of it says "[some other stuff here]"

So, here I am, it's almost ten, I have to get up at five, I have to at minimum print out the chapters to get to school tomorrow and then I have to save my laundry and then, well, all this time I should have been reading for school. But I wasn't. Bad Carolyn. And that you can repeat out loud. Argh!

Sigh.
