procrastinatory endeavors
trying desperately to force myself into productivity. the first step would, of course, be prying myself away from the computer.
*sigh* why must fun weekends always be ruined by the bazillion hours of schoolwork hanging over my head? also, why can't it be spring break already so i can BE IN PORTLAND??
which is not to say that i'm not enjoying my classes this quarter. they're all pretty interesting and i'm really loving a lot of the material - i mean, fun latin, non-stop stoppard, and occasionally interesting renaissance drama, what's not to love? - but i'm having issues with motivation to actually do the work. grar.
okay, reading. Duchess of Malfi. it's a fun play, really. you've got werewolves, you've got incest... all kinds of fun stuff! it's just the fact that i have to write an email to the class about it by 8 pm that makes me want to avoid it. but i have to do it, and if i do it now i won't have it hanging over my head. i just have to not get distracted by funner stuff, like, oh, babbling in my livejournal or writing firefly slash* or clipping my toenails or planning a trip to PORTLAND.
point is, those distracting things will not be happening. because i'm a dedicated student and i really don't want to get on this professor's bad side. he's surprisingly intimidating for a guy who looks exactly like bilbo baggins.
*seriously, i lost 45 minutes of my life last night working on this jayne/simon thing. i turned off adult swim at 1 am, all 'oh, i'll just finish this sentence and go to bed,' and when i looked up again it was 1:43. i have no idea what happened there, but it was kind of eerie. however, i did get simon to push jayne onto the bed, so it's not like it was a total waste.
