why why why
I have so. much. homework to finish before tomorrow. I've had all weekend to do said homework. What have I done instead?
Instead I found a Doctor Who Doctor/Master epic that someone wrote for their Nano, and read that. I have not read Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, nor The Rover (whomever that's by) yet, and I have a paper due contrasting both. I still don't know what I'm doing for my long paper due Thursday contrasting works by Seneca, Aeschylus, and some anonymous author in Medieval England who hasn't even been translated out of middle English.
I'm not even in Doctor Who fandom (properly, I mean.)! I barely ship the Doctor and the Master (except for how I've figured the Master was in love with the Doctor before I even knew boys could fall in love with each other). And I'm not even crazy about this author.
It just never fails. Every midterm or finals week I fall into a new(ish) fandom madly for about a month and obsessively suck in as much fic as I can, leaving almost no time for homework. And the sad thing is, I do it because I know I can get away with it. But my work does suffer. I probably lose half a letter grade every semester just because of my weird habit. If I just freaking did the work and then obsessed I'd be home free.
But of course, that's not the way it works, is it?
