What is happening to me? What is wrong with me?
posted December 6, 2008 - 9:30pmI had a really interesting semester, which included very minimal procrastination and more free time. However, as I am nearing the end of the semester, I am just really exhausted, physically and mentally. I have been working on starting a ten page research paper for days, but I just started today. I have not gotten past the first page and I just keep getting stuck. I am not one who gets "Stuck." My writing runs smoothly without any dictation, however, now my brain refuses to allow my fingers to type that paper. I had no intentions of procrastinating this paper and intended to finish it long ago. But I found myself avoiding this paper or rather just giving up on it. It's not a difficult topic, but rather one I have found quite interesting: the Harlem Renaissance.
My eyes are blood shot and burning from waking up early, but I would say it is okay if I had actually accomplished something. On the contrary, all I have done is wake up early, lose a great deal of much needed sleep, spend hours browsing the internet and avoided doing my paper. What is wrong with me?!
I have about a ten days left before school finishes, yet I still have this paper, a final exam to study for, about two essays to write, two novels to read, and some minor things. Did I procrastinate? No, I don't think or wish to believe so. I know I did not procrastinate, I just had writers block when the semester neared its end. Do I pity myself, no, I don't. I just need to find the motivation to keep going and staying up all night won't cut it. So here I am trying to gain some motivation by writing a bit of a blog on xomba. I am still sleepy, but I'll try to work on that paper for another 30-45 minutes, if not I'll hit the sack. Any advice from your college days?
Thanks,
Sam
