The editor failed to mention that the person I was supposed to write an article about doesn't speak a word of Finnish. 45 minutes of interviewing someone in English without any preparation whatsoever? Fun.

So I woke up at six a.m. to write an article that is due today. It's been three hours now and all that I've managed to do was to open an empty OpenOffice document, write "title" in it, and then scroll probably hundred miles on Tumblr.

Would someone just slap me and take away my internet?

I have three rambling old men each giving over 25 minutes long speeches about completely different subjects, and I'm supposed to turn them into a coherent, logical and interesting article worth 2500 characters. I've been listening to my tape recordings all morning, trying to pinpoint some essential facts I could actually use, and doing my best to keep myself from screaming in agony.
