You have to be in the mental state of the paper to write it.

T minus 2 and a half hours to English.

I have the ramblings of a thesis paragraph on salvia. I probably just sound high in it...I wish I could go smoke. I kind of miss the way that worked out senior year. It would probably make my project better too...I remember the baby in the box thing getting clearer when I was high that one night. I should get some weed and make some joints. Dammit. Everyone smokes pot around here...it's not like I'm abusing the Lady (salvia). Here's what I have so far:

Travel is not limited to physical movement from one place to another with planned stops or a final destination. It can become something mental and personal, felt by just one individual in what has been described as an out of body experience. In his article “The Magic Mint,” Christopher Ketcham ventures off to Oaxaca, Mexico to experience salvia, the drug that will supposedly give wisdom for life. He encounters the superstition of natives and the abuse of other male tourists and ignores it, proceeding on to use salvia in a drunken stupor. Embarking on a mental trip, which seems to be inclusive of young men misusing a powerful Lady, Ketcham’s mind becomes disconnected from his body and begins to turn on him as he tries to overpower one of the strongest, naturally induced, psychedelic trips.
