It's nearing the end of summer, and I have no credentials to my benefit these holidays. As the end of the holidays approach, I keep wondering what I have to show for the summer other than the noticeable tan, and the load of incomplete articles adorning my computer. Having nothing to write about can be exasperating. But having plentiful to do, and not doing it out of sheer laziness or lack of interest is a whole other story.

things as you awoke. As you imagine or remember this sensation
do you find yourself wondering if it is morning or night? Are
you trying to remember where you are? Do you have a startle
reaction and think for a moment that you are late for work or
