A peek at the life, times and thoughts of John during his two-year stint in Knoxville.

I successfully finished writing my paper that is due Wednesday. It's nice to have it out of the way a *little* bit early. Thankfully I was diligent in getting the research done in advance, so writing it wasn't too difficult.

I know three pages isn't a lot, but I admit I was surprised how quickly three pages get filled. I had done a lot of research on one particular aspect of my topic and because the words were gobbling up pages so quickly I could only do a very quick overview of it. I can't say I'm disappointed that I had so much material ready to go that I had to stick with the good stuff and make it concise. It's a good problem to have.

My back hurts, and I didn't even eat a Hot Pocket.
