Still Sick Part 2

So it's Saturday night and instead of being out enjoying myself I am writing my research paper and this blog entry from our lovely library. For the record I am still sick and I'm pretty sure that my coughing is annoying the people sitting across from me. But that's just too bad ;-) As for the paper, I spent all day yesterday and all day today (and when I say all day I mean from 10AM to 2AM) in the library gathering research and writing this stupid thing. But it's coming together. I'm almost done with the most research intensive part and once I get through that it should be smooth sailing. The paper is on crack sentencing discrepancies with regards to race and mandatory minimums (fun right?). Right now I'm writing about all of the different drug legislation that led up to where we are today and the societal climate surrounding their creation. But once I'm done with that I get to start talking about the situation today and what I think should be done about it. Writing that is going to be a lot easier than paraphrasing what a bunch of other people have said about these laws so there's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately I can't do the fun stuff until I get this dredge work out of the way so I'm going to get back to it!

P.S. I've gotten 3 more gigs in the past few days. One of them is at a club! And the best part is that they're all after I turn in my papers. That means I can't really practice for them but I'm confident enough in my skills to get by without it. I just have to make sure that I organize my music beforehand.
