It’s raining tonight.  I have a 30 page paper to write.  While I generally hate the rain, I like to listen to it while I am writing.  In a way, it makes me feel sort of literary.  I imagine myself to be something like Edgar Allan Poe writing away to the sound of rain drops on my window.  Only, he wrote fiction and prose, and I am writing about global health ethics.  Also, I am pretty sure he used a pen and not a Mac.  Lastly, he was crazy and I….well……ok, maybe we have that one in common.
