(no subject)
Nov. 28th, 2007 09:57 pmI must have some sort of academic-deadline syndrome, because I'm sitting here with more than sufficient sources to hammer out another 2 pages of essay, and all I want to do is go to bed. o.O: Seriously, all I can think is how comfy my bed looks now that we've turned on the heat in the house and I'm feeling well enough that I don't NEED to sleep. (And there's no way I can successfully sneak last-minute edits into the work day tomorrow if I don't have my sources all lined up and quote-able tonight, so... yeah. Even if I don't go to bed super-late, I should be more-or-less finished with this stupid thing before then.)
Good lord, but I hate writing essays. I find the material fascinating, and I'm easily-amused-enough that even reading up on Marx and Freud (who I couldn't give a rat's fleabitten ass about) is marginally interesting, but gawd help me if I have to put together a cohesive, structured set of paragraphs on the subject.
*headdesk*
On the other hand, I've given up any pretense of using my higher-education experience in writing this, and it will be the bare minimum in all respects - length, sources, writing level, argument... Boringboringboring. No groundbreaking thoughts here. (I'm very much debating what my final grade in class would be if I got a C on this paper, as it's worth less than the two tests I've taken. I'd be happy with a B in the class, really. Hm.) <-- And this level of rationalization is fantastic when I'm tired and cranky and procrastinating.
[I can't even be procrastiductive! I have no other homework due this week, dammit. Maybe I can write up the works cited page... *ponderponder*]
