September 22, 1993

Working on the first paper for my Philosophy class. This was my procedure for writing all papers during all my college years- write it out in longhand in a notebook, make corrections and revisions on the same sheets, then type it on my typewriter. My typewriter could go back on the line and erase if I hit a wrong letter, but otherwise once it was on paper, it was there to stay. It lacked the further editing abilities of a word processor, but I prefered sitting at home writing than doing it in a computer lab on campus, especially as this often took place very late at night.
