I have to have this final 1200 word article done by Thursday morning. On the surface that doesn't sound too bad. My interviews are finished. Here's the problem: I have about 10,000 words worth of information, ideas, opinions, and confusing stats to sort through that I have been wrestling with ALL DAY. The histories and stats for each sport vary hugely in how up to date they are and if they are actually helpful at all. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out how many conference championships they've had. THAT'S how badly this information is kept. So, if all this information was kept in an actual object, I would throw that out a window in frustration. But it's currently on a website and in my word document, and there is no way my Mac is going out the window. It's my baby. Also, there are screens on the window, and if I break one, I get fined.
So, not an option.
I also hate Excel. I have so much information, so many numbers that are jumping out at me, but trying to figure out what it all means is officially kicking my butt. My charts look like a crazed ant jumped in paint and ran around a chart frantically.
It's weird that this article is all I have to work on right now. It's almost like I'm writing as a job.
My biggest problem is that everyone in the universe is on break, and all I want to do is nothing with them.
That said, I love everyone here. I seriously do. I want to take them with me, down to D.C.
I just sat at the computer staring for about five minutes, trying to think of a way to end this post in a witty sort of manner.
I give up.
