Fun With Wordage

Every so often it becomes necessary to make a todo list public so I actually feel motivated. Without further delay:

Finally write that cheesy International Business Paper (4 pages double spaced, on pretty much anything) [4/14/05]
Finally write that History of American Art Paper (no clue how long, more complex, and really boring)… this is long [...]

Well who can object to this one? As someone learning a bit [...]
