How to write a paper in college/university:







1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your computer.



2. Log onto MSN and ICQ (be sure to go on away!). Check your email.



3. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.



4. Walk down to the vending machines and get yourself some chocolate to help you concentrate.



5. Check your email.



6. Call up a friend and ask if he/she wants to go to grab a coffee. Just to get settled down and ready to work.



7. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well lit place.



8. Read over the assignment again to make absolutely certain you understand it.



9. Check your email.



10. You know, you haven't written to that kid you met at camp since fourth grade. You'd better write that letter now and get it out of the way so you can concentrate.



11. Look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror.



12. Grab some mp3z off of kazaa.



13. Check your email. ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR YET?!



14. MSN chat with one of your friends about the future. (ie summer plans).



15. Check your email.



16. Listen to your new mp3z and download some more.



17. Phone your friend on the other floor and ask if she's started writing yet. Exchange derogatory emarks about your prof, the

course, the college, the world at large.



18. Walk to the store and get a pack of gum. You've probably run out.



19. While you've got the gum you may as well have a magazine and read it.

27. Sit down and do some serious thinking about your plans for the future.



28. Check to see if bored.com has been updated yet.



29. Check your email and listen to your new mp3z.



30. You should be rebooting by now, assuming that windows is crashing on schedule.



31. Read over the assignment one more time, just for heck of it.



32. Scoot your chair across the room to the window and watch the sunrise.



33. Lie face down on the floor and moan.
