coming down fast but I'm miles above you

I am turning into my term paper for Qianlaoshi a day late :( It frustrates me greatly, but that's just how the timing worked out. A nine hour shift the day it was due (at midnight) kinda screwed over my usual procrastination system, and it turns out that I'm more likely to turn it in late than do it early. Ahwell. It's coming along pretty nicely

In order to compensate for my extreme lack of commenting since... well, shit, since my last official hiatus, I believe, I am determined to obsessively comment on your shit, now.

Prepare to be annoyed as fuck.

I miss the days when I could turn in a term paper a day late and finish that fucker the night before. E_E; Now, I actually have to prepare a lot beforehand... then prepare more when it comes to Chinese... and prepare even MORE when the paper has to be done in GOOD Chinese. Sometimes, I feel damn guilty for writing my stuff in English as an extra backup to what I know to be my shitty Chinese, when the Chinese students obviously don't have that luxury, and TECHNICALLY if I'm going to an M.A. program in China then I should be doing this in Chinese no problem... because in the U.S., if you asked to write your term papers in Chinese because your English was too poor to write coherently, then you'd kinda get booted out of the program...

Well. Guess I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

And I LMAO'd over your constructive avoidance of writing papers. Do you know I did the same shit for my papers last year? I cleaned out my entire ROOM. Even DUSTED, and I hate dusting. You can always tell how much I despise doing what I need to do by how well I do shit I should have done before but do in the moment in which other important things are due. I think deadlines have an opposite effect on me. If you want what's actually due done... have another deadline of greater importance over my head and it'll get what I should be doing done at the cost of avoiding more imposing shit. GAWD I'M SO FUKED UPZ0RZ I RLY DON'T NEED TO BE IN SKOOL

You're doing well marking all those books! I need to be as diligent in that, myself.

Hooray obsessive commenting!

I didn't start the paper the day before it was due, fortunately - I had already picked out some articles, chosen the quotes out of them I wanted to use, read and chosen the poems, and written the introduction. Not all that bad, really, but then I had work that whole damn day and just couldn't do it x.x

I do all kinds of things when it comes to avoiding work. My apartment is about to be so clean, you have no idea - because I'm also compulsive like, once I start "tidying up", that shit has to be CLEAN.

The book marking is another avoidance thing, lol. I only have two Kushiel books and NK left! And then... I can start writing the giant Shahrizai article oh gods...
