Lauren: senior seminar, n: 1- a thesis paper written after a year of research on a very specific topic for history majors at Ripon College. 2- a pain in my ass that isn't going to get done!

Auto response from Emily: dear life:
i give up. you win.
love, emily

Lauren: haha! i quit!
Lauren: okay...i wish
Lauren: damn you sem! damn you!

Emily: yeah, that's how I feel right now too.

Lauren: i'm going to make 4 copies of my paper when i'm done - 1 for mcgowan, 1 for my peer editor, 1 for the library, and 1 to set on fire

Emily: oh, I like that idea
Emily: we'll have a bonfire

Lauren: splendid idea!
Lauren: i wonder if they'd get mad if we did that in the hallway

Emily: we'll roast marshmallows and everything
Emily: maybe
Emily: but who cares

Lauren: O:-)
Lauren: great idea! s'mores and burning sem papers!

Emily: yay!

Lauren: ooh, that almost makes me want to do my sem
Lauren: haha, temporary lapse there
Lauren: i'm back to reality now

Emily: hee hee
Emily: why are we history majors again?

Lauren: 'cause we're overachievers, since we want to get a double major on our diploma *facepalm*
Lauren: bad idea! bad idea!

Emily: yeah, I should have just settled for the history minor when I had the chance.
Emily: damn us for being over acheivers

Lauren: meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lauren: yes! what were we thinking!!!
Lauren: it's not like a history major amounts to anything anyway :-)

Emily: yeah, true

Lauren: i wonder if i can get caffeine and/or speed in an IV somehow
Lauren: hmmmm

Emily: oooh, that's a good idea.... no sleep at all!

Lauren: sudafed has the same effects on me as speed....
Lauren: hmmm

Emily: hee hee

Lauren: i wonder if i can block access to websites such as addictinggames.com until april 15 :-)

Emily: hmmm, I don't think so.

Lauren: oh, that could be bad

Emily: I swear I should just block the internet all together, it's going to be so distracting

Lauren: i know!! if i didn't need the library of congress website...
Lauren: how is your sem doing, page-wise?

Emily: yeah. cause I'll just start checking my e-mail compulsively if I'm trying to avoid work.

Lauren: me too!

Emily: since I've started re-writing?

Lauren: yeah

Emily: about 4-5 pages

Lauren: not bad
Lauren: mine's still at 5...gack

Emily: I think we should gang up on joe, he has something like 12 pages done

Lauren: i know!!!
Lauren: but, i guess he has a SEMI-excuse, his other written sem

Emily: yeah, but still
Emily: makes us feel like slackers.

Lauren: true. not good enough of an excuse.

Emily: hee hee

Lauren: 12 pages. bah!
