Things to do other than a writing assignment

So Monday morning my class has a writing project due. What I am doing right now?

• Thinking about all the cute interview/ work clothes I can buy from Ann Taylor, even though if I don't finish this project I won't have the grades to merit interviews.
• Staring at my Torts book, for no other reason than it is a pretty shade of red.
• Looking at my friend's new fashion blog.
• Trying to figure out what I am going to eat for dinner.
• Trying to figure out what I will be for Halloween (or as I like to put it "what version of trashy slut will I be for Halloween?"- this year, none)
• Wishing I had an income
• Wishing I had a clue
• Wishing that dry boring office memos were not part of the legal field.
• Did I mention pining after this season's latest office wear?

I do feel the need to dispense a trick that worked for me though when it comes to these God-awful writing projects of doom. Print out a draft and read it out loud. Print to be able to make marks and read out loud so you are forced to recognize typos like using "it" instead of "is."
