You guys are so distracting...
I've been in the process of writing a very simple 1-page paper on chapter of poetry dealing with metaphor. Every time I add a sentence, I can't help but click the DU window open and peruse around for five more minutes. Maybe I should hit the X button instead of minimizing. I don't know...

1. You have that problem, too?
I have an eight page history paper due next Friday that I keep putting off finishing because, in part, of DU. Maybe it's not so much that they're distracting is that we have short attention spans! :D

4. Once I stayed up till 5 am here.
I had a history test the next day. Slept right through it. No make ups either.

I felt like such an idiot.

5. It took me 6 hours to type up a home appraisal that should have taken an
hour because of this place. :hi: You are not alone.
