Being that it is the end of the semester, I am bombarded with work. Granted, my own procrastination is to blame, but that doesn't really help the situation very much. It's a Sunday morning and I am awake much earlier than usual, and although I had the intention to get up early and be a good student and get a jump start on work, such is not the case. I have just about done everything other than start some work. I have even begun to work on a new story that I know will just end up being cliched and unworthy of revision. I think it's because I need to feel relaxed and settled before I start any form of formal writing; I need to be sure that I have eliminated any reason for distraction. I guess it all comes down to our writing processes, we all work differently. It's weird and I am trying to get away from it, but I can't work any other way.

I find myself in the very same position as Courtney right now. I have been planning all week to spend my Sunday in my room completing as much work as possible. It is now 6 pm and I have successfully completed everything, but my work. My room is now clean, my laundry is done, and I have facebook stalked for way to long. Writing this blog is my first attempt to cross something off my list. As much as I try to convince myself that I can overcome procrastination for once in my life, I know it will never happen.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate too. I made a to-do list a week or two ago so everything wouldn't pile up on me, with final papers and whatnot, and somehow the list ended up under some library books that I haven't opened yet. Oops. Working under pressure gets good results, yeah?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with all of you. Actually, I am currently in the library accumulating research for 5 different 10-15 page papers.. not very fun... I do like writing, but I just need a break from all of this academic writing and clear my mind for a bit. I know I will be LIVING on Red Bull and caffeine to keep myself from falling asleep in class.. soo apologies in advance if I seem off the next couple classes
ReplyDeleteYeah, I still have to finish editing a 22 page short story. Then I have to do an interview with the head of security on campus and do a write-up on it. So, I feel the burn too.
