Because I'm tired of everyone having read this book but me and it's time to put an end to that situation already.
Because I technically still have almost a month until I have to hand in the research paper, and I'm really good at working under pressure.

Because I still don't know which way I'm going to approach my subject, or how I'm going to organize the background information, and every time I get to thinking about it my mind breaks.
Because I know the moment I get to working on it, a small child will come into the room with a need that must be met RIGHT NOW.

Because we just had an exam the other day and I'm still "giving myself a break," OK?!??!?
Because to get a few angles on my research, I need to make some phone calls, and I hate making phone calls. Especially here, when a lot of phone calls end up in, "why don't you just come see me in my office?" territory. Which brings me to another reason I'm reading Ender's Game right now instead of working on my research paper:
Because I'm at home with these two kids, and any "come see me in my office" would automatically be a family field trip whose positive outcome as far as juvenile obedience goes I cannot guarantee. I also need to visit the reference section of the library to consult some books that cannot be checked out. Same problem. Plus, my children know where the library's DVD collection hides and they would probably run amok and shriek like banshees while they hunted down Cars/Toy Story 2/Walking with Dinosaurs.
Yeah, I'm going to go with that last reason. That's why I'm reading Ender's Game right now instead of working on my research paper.
