...teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.*
I've just downloaded 15** articles and 1 presentation (by the Meteorological Service of Canada, of all people) for my 3,000-word project due Monday (or in the wee hours of Sunday, if you're like me and want to email the sucker). Since this is a huge change from the last two days, where I did absolutely nothing for this project, despite having, in the course schedule, in black and white, "Work on assignment", I'm taking a break***. I'm at the university computer lab**** taking a well-earned (...osorta) break, eating a super-sweet tuna-sandwich. While I like cucumber in my tuna-sandwhich, I am not in favour of hard-boiled eggs. (One-thousand Mile Island sauce is right out. *glares at current sandwich*) It's not that I don't particularly dislike it, it's just an unexpected concept every time I see it.

** Obviously, this will both bee too much and not enough information for my paper.
*** Wow, huuuge digression.
**** In the quieter one, in the "Plexus" Building, where the only sound is that of the keyboard, and not raucous jerks chatting, laughing, buttering their toast and working away at that something stuck between their teeth.
