The LJ log-in thing is OMG SO GODLY!

It gives you a box in Firefox that lets you easily switch between LJ accounts!

YAY!

So, I decided to count how many pages of research notes I have for my Marie Antoinette paper today, after I colour coded them up (I highlight all the information in a colour for each section of the paper, so when I go through typing it up I can easily find what I need).

18. I have EIGHTEEN pages of notes.

That is somewhere around 6000 words I think...could be a bit less, since I don't always use the entire line, but usually when I write something by hand double-spaced there is 100 words on each side of paper and this doesn't have double-spacing and most of the sheets are double-sided.

So yeah, I have twice as many words in my notes as I will have in the final paper. INSANITY @_@

I'll probably be pruning the history section down a fair amount, because a fair amount of it is more general stuff that really doesn't strictly need to be there, if I assume the reader has some basic knowledge of the French Revolution already.

Karate and Writer's tonight...fun...I really hope I do actually get something done for the paper though, I may only stay till 9 at Writers to make sure of that.

Alright. Starting to write the paper, really I am.

I really need to come up with some sort of thesis.

Just an early warning...expect a fair amount of spam from me over the next day or so, as I work through this essay and take my regularily scheduled "sanity breaks" online.

I have an introduction written and a thesis formulated. Yay. 245 words out of 3000 written. Yeah, I still have a long way to go. I'm a bit scared of tackling the next section though, just because of the massive amount of notes...though perhaps once I go through them and pull out only the ones that have relevent information, it won't seem quite as bad.

It's already 9:30 though...grrrr...I don't like working past 10PM if I can help it. Oh well, at very least I'll sort through the notes to see what I need.

Also expect to see Hinoto a lot...she's the angstiest icon I have, which generally suits my mood better than Yuzuriha, at least until I finish this (I can't WAIT until I finish this, because it will mean I'm essentially done with the class until exam time!)
