Take this as motivation

So I've decided to lock myself out of my room for the night and lock myself in the Student Activities/ACE office to start and finish this 20-page American Studies Final paper and study for my English test in the morning and my Chinese test which is on Saturday. Let me just say that I have not been lucky today as my computer has crashed a couple times (though nothing lost) and SparkNotes, my English class saviour, is offline until tomorrow. What luck! But I must thank Gail (my "mother" at school) for giving me the key to her office so I can print my paper and notes throughout the night on her printer. So anyways, I've gotta do this, so I'm just gonna suck it up and write and write and write. And of course, Nate, before leaving the office, gave me a wonderful motivational speech to work hard. I quote, "Hey, D is for diploma!" Thanks Nate...really inspiring.
