I remember how in high school we'd take the minimum page requirement for a paper as the maximum and perform all types of deception to achieve that minimum maximum. Huh? Well for example, if a paper was 5-7 pages, we'd write barely 4 pages, 2.2 space it, use a wide font, and eke the margins in ever so slightly so that we'd get 4.5 pages. But 4.5 pages can not be contained in 4 pages. No. The last .5 goes on to the fifth page an this is key. After all, there's a nunber 5 on the bottom of that page. There you go. 5 pages.

Maybe I'm more verbose now or maybe I have a better understanding of subjects I research, but the page limit problem has magically vanished. Now, for a 7-10 page paper, 8 pages of thoughts flow out painlessly, and that's for a *bad* paper. A good subject/paper just net me 30+[read:40+] pages. There's a 15-20 page paper dude tomorrow that I've been fretting over. I mean, how in the WORLD an I write 15-20 pages? But here I am at page 15 and I still have 2 points to make and a conclusion to write. Even in the last year of college, I remember using 1.35 spacing, a narrow 11pt font, and shrinking the margin to emaciated proportions in order to fit my 4-page thoughts into the two-page limit. I've got the quantity down...now I've got to work on this quality thang...

Speaking of qunatity, back to Stravinsky paper...
