A thought process –
Ugh. I hate writing about myself. What am I supposed to say beyond, my name is Nikki, this is my first time going to Romania, and I’m going to be a junior next year at Middleton? Is there any other way to do this…?
-
Something witty and smart… like a section of a non-existent research paper?
-
Give them an excerpt from “If I’m Helpful, Maybe They Won’t Send Me to Antarctica: A Study in Family/Group Dynamics” by Nikki Yu (aforementioned non-existent research paper)
-
Write an abstract? Hmm, I should have started that a couple days ago.
-
-
Write a bio using just song lyrics
-
Kinda cool, I have quite the variety of song on my ipod (mostly 70s to 90s pop. Thanks parental units!)
-
But wait, I’d have to explain each song I use and I’d still be writing this on the plane to Romania.

-
Outsource the brainstorming and writing to my sister
-
Hmmm… that’s not a bad idea. She likes writing way more than I do and she’s actually good at it.
-
But, this could contribute to the bafflingly persistent difficulty people have in telling us apart, so maybe not.
-
I doubt she’d even do it, never mind.

-
Let my cat walk back and forth on the keyboard
-
Heh.
-
-
List all the ideas I had for a bio in the order that I had them
-
Cons: too short
-
Pros: hey look, I’m done
