Apr. 20th, 2006 09:58 amWork work work, and none of it is what I want to be doing, it seems like.
I'm hitting that wonderful mid-quarter point where I just sort of hit the wall and go splat. This always happens. Mid-way through the quarter, I just lose all interest in at least one class (Anth 202, this time - no surprise there), and all ability to function reasonably.
What I need to do today:
-Start my cultural commentary for expository writing
- Outline and start my paper for Anth
- Go to a meeting tonight for the volunteer thing next weekend
What I want to do today:
- Ignore the Anth paper
- Plot the new story idea I've been working on
- Finish the fic I owe people
Fortunately, I think my complete lack of being good yesterday ought to encourage me to actually be good today and get my work done. At least I hope so. Argh.

Date: 2006-04-20 06:47 pm (UTC)I was total SPLAT that quarter. Between finding a job, finding a place to live, worrying that my advisor would knock on my door and tell me that, actually, no I don't have the requirements to graduate, and the general spring quarter slackerness I went though EVERY year, I probably had my lowest grade quarter ever. Granted, it wasn't that low, and granted, I still got Honors, but it was a stressful time.
Cut yourself some slack :D
