friends with the winning tip

those who alerted me to the fact that on some windows systems, 1.25 inches is the default margins on the left and the right! that brought me so much closer to 25 pages.

tho it turns out that it is very hard to motivate when you've got 24 hours and only about 5 pages you need to write. of course, it'll take about 10 to have it make any sense. but i'm not really going for that.

but just think, by the next time you hear from me, you'll have a happier free-er from the weight of a paper laura. OH IT WILL BE SO GLORIOUS!
