I don't know where this came from, but I'm gonna go with it.

I'm researching, writing, and perhaps even being a little bit insightful.

And I have no migraine.

I don't know what happened, but I cancelled everything for the next two days, took off most of this afternoon/evening and for the first time in months, I am having FUN doing research again. 

I usually have fun in the final phase of writing, but I've been so caught up in exams lately that I haven't had any time to enjoy true musicology research.  And to top things off, this exam got me so far behind in my research for this paper, I was just struggling to get something down on paper so I don't have to take an incomplete. 

But suddenly, I read something which I thought was a bit extreme, and then I went...wait a minute, I won't go so far as to say that, but that doesn't mean I should throw out the whole concept.  It triggered a snowball of thoughts and ta-da! I'm writing a paper. 

The emphasis has shifted a bit from my original thought, but as of right now, it feels great so I'm stickign with it.  I can always go back and change it to something boreing tomorrow. :-)

I thin I need to get some rest now, but I wrote a whole outline of the new train of thought and I'm pumped to get up tomorrow and write!

Hopefully this idea is as good tomorrow as it feels now - I would LOVE the opportunity to impress this professor.
