My inner monologue as I attempt to write a paper
Alright, “Please describe the collective conditions that lead to the downfall of the Western Roman Empire, and the rise of Byzantium in the East, out of Constantinople in the 4th century”.
That seems easy enough. I guess I’ll start with a description of Emperor Constantine, and his military exploits that led to the founding of Constantinople. I should probably touch on his religious trans—
OH! I a new e-mail! Monster.com wants me to put up a cover letter? I’ll get to it later.
His religious transformation. Well, Christi—
Is my roommate making fresh bread? Better go check the kitchen. That smells incredible…
Alright, he was microwaving whole grain Schwabl’s. What a weirdo. Constantine would have never microwaved his bread. Someone would have done it for him.
No, you know what? That smells too good. I will make some hot bread too. With buttery spread.
That was exactly what I needed to get me really going on this paper. Alright, so Constantine saw a cross it the sky before battle. His advisors—
Shit, did I sign up to chat with my advisor about graduation? Better email. And update twitter on this predicament. I’ll write it like I’m super frustrated. I bet me friends laugh out loud at this tweet. I bet they cry. That’s another pat on the back for Ian!
OOOO Facebook tells me that my friends are having a ‘Theme Party’ themed party! Totally attending this. Better text to see which themes are still available.
My phone contract expires in a year. Maybe I’ll get that new Motorola Droid. Better do some research to make sure I’m not making a mistake.
5 Megapixel camera, and a full QWERTY keyboard impress me. I think I’ll get it.
Constantine was not originally religious. I feel like I can make the argument that his acceptance of Christianity drastically affected the world from that point forward.
Damn, that bread was good. I need some more - brain food.
I totally just remembered that I didn’t watch SNL from last week. It’s downloading fast, only about 3 minutes left.
Constantine chose the specific location for Constantinople because of the natural protection the city—
2 minutes left
the city had. The cliff protected the city from the sea, and walls were built—
Jesus, this is flying! 1 minute. I love this download speed. What would the speed reach if we were running fibre optics to the house instead of co-ax?
Wikipedia seems to be slipping. I know for a fact that Al Gore did not invent fibre optics. Shit, I’ll just use Wikipedia for this question!
Done. Alright, next one…”Please argue whether or not Justinian I was a positive and beneficial ruler during his reign. Be specific”.
Is my roommate microwaving Doritos?
