Where's a temporal anomaly when you need one?

School starts in two weeks. Two. I can’t help but wonder where the summer decided to disappear to. It seems like it’s stretched on forever, but at the same time, it was too short. Not that I would do anything of any significance if it was longer (I have a running streak of not accomplishing anything, thus far), I find myself wanting a little more time. I still have all my papers and books and general junk lying around from last semester, yet to be put away or filed in my little hanging folder bin which I bought specifically for that purpose. I had all these plans, like I would do my French workbook before the semester even started, or get all my reading for English done, or even start thinking of research paper topics since I’m taking classes with professors I’ve had before and I know what to expect. But no. Even when I have all the time in the world I can’t bring myself to get things done. Why?

I just have a mental roadblock that is preventing me from becoming a capable adult. I can’t really conceive of my life as a general picture, but I can only focus on specific parts at a time. School is one part. Work is another part. Home life, finances, and medical issues each have their own parts. The Future part is a giant hazy void looming over my head. The “I’m a bum and don’t want to take responsibility for my life, hey let’s waste time doing X that would be better spent doing Y” part keeps taking over lately. Can Peter Francis Geraci help me consolidate my life?

p.s. - I really need to stop playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic...
