Got a paper due 10/12, need help getting started!!!!
 
Yes, I *am*(someone on this forum will appreciate that, can't remember who) the GREAT.........no, not The Great Pumpkin........even scarier.....the Great Procrastinator!!! Whooooooooooo!! Anyway, bit of background info. I go to school online to finish my B.S.(even though I'm a masta of BS!)For those that don't know, I just recently bought a farm and am busy building a barn(almost finished), fencing, brush-hogging, landscaping, painting, re-flooring, etc. Not to mention working 50+ hours per week(gotta pay the bills!!) and taking care of my menagerie of 4 horses, 10 cats(no, thats not a typo) and 1 crazy dog. Plus I like to sleep sometimes(alot!), did I mention that??? SO.... this semester I *only*(there it is again) took Art History/Appreciation, thinking, "well, this should be simple". Anyway, the class it great, I love it, but it is a lot of work. Lots of papers to write. And I'm the type that agonizes over papers. I always get excellent grades, but I put so much blood, sweat and tears into them. I would love it, love it, LOVE it if someone could get me started so I could avoid all the agonizing tomorrow. Topic is, if you accept the challenge: choose a painting/drawing/photo (has to be in a book or on the web) and explain how the artist used the medium. I KNOW, I KNOW!! its not that effing hard, but I am just stuck. I can't even pick a subject. I do not want someone to write my paper or do my work. I just need help getting started!!!
Anyway, if I would just focus enough to put the energy I just spent typing this into actually WRITING the paper, I'd be done already.

Yes, I'm pretty lame!!!!

I would really like to help you, but my week was full of a bunch of bullshit papers and my mind just won't think it out, but I did take the time to read your post to see If I could be of help.

Hay Irish,
Thanks for doing that much!! I do tend to run on at the mouth. And at the internet. Now if I could just run on with a bullshit paper about art mediums. Actually, I really enjoy art(Matisse, Picasso, Van Gogh, etc.) I just can't focus. Now I'm focused on trying to decide if I should buy a Bose Wave cd/radio from Bose, or get a cheaper one on ebay. I threw my old pioneer stereo away when I moved here and am really missing it. And still no art paper.

Dammit!
Suzanne

Having been to the Dali museum in Tampa several times, this came to mind.

It's like you (Mortimer) took the words (the ones I was going to say) right out of my mouth (I eat with it!).

Mortimer 10-12-2007 06:31 PM

Geez...you're getting REALLY good!!






OOOOOOOOOO

I want a lobster phone for X-mas.
If not a lobster another crustacean will be fine.
Maybe Morton will get me one.

That is a phone to be reckoned with.
Outstanding.
