(no subject)
So, 2 hours later, I'm still 229 words into my paper, and no farther. I would totally go sit out in the hall, because then I could escape from the internet, but various people would be walking over me and I would have to listen to their music and TV shows and everything, so I don't think it will help. You would think that, after two years of staying up late to finish papers and generally having a miserable time of it, I would have learned to, oh, maybe, start my papers earlier? Apparently I am a fundamentally dumb person. Oh well. So long as it isn't a sort of dumb that will keep me out of grad school, I'm fine with that. I've rediscovered the world of academic blogs (do I do anything other than read blogs? No. Not really, especially since I can knit and read at the same time), and I think there are a lot of people in academia who are fundamentally dumb in the same ways I am. Which is reassuring.
