pond of death

Sitting here, in a cage, at Mem Library, writing this insanely open ended essay about the Bible, I can watch the sunlight slowly vanish. I remember last semester, sitting in one of these for a 6-hour span, attempting to write my paper on the treatment of Jews in Medieval Europe. That was way less fun, because it required documents, and citations, and what not. This? This paper is so not structured, that I have too many ideas, and too many things that I could possibly talk about.

I mean, really. All I was told is to contrast the Jewish Bible and the New Testament with respect to Salvation. (There are like 10 things you could've chosen to contrast, I just like the idea of Salvation, and I knew it would be spectacularly easy, seeing as it's something I know about). The only thing I can use at all, is my Bible. How handy is that? It's the only thing, other than my journal, that I carry with me everywhere I go. I know by heart a lot of the verses that I'm using in my argument. I just don't know where to start, is the problem. I feel as if I could go on for page after page, and I'm limited to about 4 or 5, after I actually include the quotes. Boo on that. Not that I actually want to write a longer paper, because it would obviously take more time, but seriously, this will not be enough to do it justice.

So yeah, It's due in...15 hours, exactly. I have to email it to my TA. I should probably start it, dontcha think? Too bad that my brain doesn't respond unless there is a deadline. Good thing there is one now.
