I went to the computer room during the afternoon for absolutely no reason.
I had to print off my history, which I had not finished. I needed to conclude it. So, I wrote "In conclusion..." and waited for [livejournal.com profile] lilka to say something. My next brainwave was "America withdrew into isolation because..."
Having typed this, I reflected: "... because it seemed like a good idea at the time?"
General consensus - no. Write something else. By then [livejournal.com profile] eniddy and [livejournal.com profile] kittysplitter had made their ever-so-graceful entrances. In the morning I told Enid she really must read Dr Jackson's Diary - I wasn't all that surprised to see we could get onto it with the school computers. After all, these are the people whose ingenious firewall blocks us from any Yahoo! site, whowouldyoukill.com and several people's inboxes, but the firewall didn't pick up on a site devoted to NC-17 slash, complete with lube.
In the end, [livejournal.com profile] lilka came up with a wonderful ending to my essay - "...because it was the best way to avoid further military and economic problems" - and I printed it off. I wish I hadn't had to leave; it was shaping up to be fun(!), but go I must.
And I went, to find my essay doesn't have to be in until Thursday!

Our school blocks out livejournal, but we can get to hotmail.

o.O!
