Every day it just gets harder and harder to drag myself to my desk and start working. I really need to entrench myself this weekend, too, since I want to have two (2) completed twenty-page drafts by Monday if possible, as well as a solid portion of my twenty-page reading journal. And then there's my big scary nebulous U.S. history paper, which is not getting any less scary the longer I put off doing it. And in my rational mind I know it's all still well within the realm of do-ability and that I'm a good writer and I'm not going to totally choke and fail... but I'm such a perfectionist, it's so easy to sink into despair. And then, you know, I start fantasizing about what I would do if I dropped out of university, and ridiculously reassuring myself that even if I get all Fs my life won't be over despite the fact that I totally lose at life.
Seriously, that time warp I ordered from Amazon should totally be here by now so that I can just skip all this and be in California with my boy. I'm gonna have to have a little chat with their customer service people.
Our house is so freakishly clean (i.e. "like a normal house") that I'm kind of floating around in it, unsure what to do. No one even came to look.
If you need me, I'll be in the fetal position.
