After four hours I stopped writing and stared at the computer screen. After a day of reading articles, notating the articles, re-reading sections of the books, and 4 straight hours of typing I checked my progress to see I had managed to write 2 pages.

I'm going to go ahead and do something that on the list of "Things I will Never Do" is right below "Combine Ammonia And Bleach" and right above "Share A Drink With A Hooker": I'm going to apologize for not making an update.
