I have a plan

As long as I can get my topic today (I already have) I can get an outline done by time I go to bed tonight. Then I can stay later at Delta tomarrow and I should be able to write and complete my 4-5 page paper. No sweat. I'm a master at BSing assignments.

My topic: Numerous studies have proven that smoking is harmful to our health. A variety of no-smoking policies are already in place throughout society. For example, smoking “anywhere, by anybody” is prohibited at Delta College. As a continuation of the no-smoking/public health movement, should smoking scenes be banned from movies?

I have pretty strong opinions on that matter, so an argumentive paper should be no sweat. But, which side should I support? Should there be smoking in movies? I don't see why not, it sets a mood. It can make an actor appear powerful or sly, but I have to admit that I wince a little when I see a favored actor/actress light up. I also can see how directors can go without smoking actors, they could drink or do nothing instead. Guess I just need more time to ponder on the subject. I'll think of something, I always do.

I'm done with my angry phase. My english teacher warned me I shouldn't write when I'm angry. Now I'm in phase two and I'm sad. :[ I just hate it when I feel like everyone is underestimating me. Especially family. The people who are supposed to know me the best don't even know me at all, they just know what I should be doing, in their opinion. I'm 18 so I should have a job and a car. Hell, throw in a baby and a mortage to, why not? I was never prepared before hand for these things, so why should I just wake up one morning and go "oh my, time to be independant!". I work my ass off and no one even knows. Eh, I gotta stop writing, I'm getting angry again...
