I wonder...
what American Society would be like if we all read the Federalist papers. Some of these arguments just seem to be the sames ones we're going through today. Some of the answers seem very intelligent. Of course, my founder fan professor has stated that each generation revisits the founders and asks them to answer the questions that plague that generation. Is this effective, are the answers received? Is it effective, are the problems solved?
I strongly believe that a system, government included, should be able to evolve and adapt to current circumstances and that they do to some extent. However, stability is also important. Again my mind returns to the balance argument. Attending a school with a tradition-laded culture, I seriously question the use of some of the silly things we do. Perhaps, we are not visibly held back back these traditions, but what could we accomplish if we didn't have them? What our campus look like if change didn't bring accusations of bad school spirit?
Another day, another method of procrastination. One paper down, one to go. I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut some of my argument though... I could just go through and make my writing more concise but that's silly.

Caffeine Intake and Productivity Levels
I wonder...
Are my productivity levels as directly related to my caffeine intake as I believe?
I've been trying to avoid two of my research essays that are due in two days, not hard papers, but trying to focus has become ridiculous. I've started facebook stalking in order to avoid these papers. I updated twitter. I started a new blog. I went through almost every feed on my google reader. I finished yet another romance novel (yesterdays was a different book). Some of these things I do more often than others but the fact that I'm doing all of these now, when my grade in two seperate classes depends on two seperate papers.
All I have to do is sit my ass down and work for about 6 more hours straight. Why can't I just get these out of the way and then waste time?
And, the magic powers that this cappacino is supposed to possess... not working. If I was in the states I'd try a carmel macchiato... see I'm even drooling over coffee in order to avoid this shit!
SARA! GET TO WORK RIGHT NOW!
(well, after you publish this post so you can look back on it in five days and laugh at yourself...)
