Reason #243 why I love NaNoWriMo:
While talking with Senri about our mutual hatred of research papers, I got the idea to combine NaNo with school.
Now, I can't use write-or-die with a school paper. Not unless I want to fail. But we modified the idea of a word war. Instead of writing for a set amount of time and seeing who could write the most words, we just set a total goal. Whoever writes 2 pages first has to send the other one chocolate, since two pages was enough for her to finish and for me to reach the half-way point.
This plan was derailed by her getting dinner and me running out of research...but that's okay. Tomorrow I go up to NIU to get more books and then, yes then, we'll see who can reach two pages first. :3
So yes. Thank you NaNo for making school work a little less miserable. Research papers still suck...but at least, in the end, there is chocolate.
