What's Up With Me Today?
So this has been a very off day. While I´ve made pretty good strides on my paper, everything else about today has been off.
I woke up at 10am, ate breakfast, outlined my paper and got a first paragraph down, then went right back to sleep. I was literally zonked out. I woke up at 1:30 'cause my house mother came in, but then I went back to sleep until 2:40pm, and nearly missed my 3pm class. I´m sure my house mother wondered what in the world was wrong with me, but I couldn´t even say myself.
I´m in the Center, and I´m finding it really hard to write my paper. It´s all outlined, I have all my ideas, and yet I can´t find the words to get it really going. Part of it, I think, is because I really like this topic and because it´s very complex. People write books on it, so covering it adequately in 5 pages is a little rough. And then I keep feeling like I HAVE to put this and this bit of information in because I´m used to writing Anthro papers where they´re always telling you to problematize more (though that always drove me nuts because you never had the space to problematize more... same with this paper. How are you going to get all the facts and ideas out with only 5 pages? And it´s not like I haven´t cut down the topic, but it´s just kinda dense in its many facets...)
I think it just feels like one of those days where¨"everything you know is wrong".
EDIT - 8:44pm:
Correction. Today is just plain rough. It took ice cream AND shopping to make me feel better about life. I couldn't even find a papeleria that Pepe pointed me towards. I basically sucked ass today. If there was one word to describe me today, it would FAILURE!
Hence why I think the best thing I could do would be to go to bed and start again tomorrow. :(
