Erg!
I’m sitting here, trying to work on my paper. But I can’t get focused. The assignment is to pick a passage from one of the books we read and then apply that passage to the whole book. This is really simple and I shouldn’t have any trouble with it. I’ve even got the passage picked out, but I can’t stay seated long enough to get anything written besides a barebones outline. The paper is due Thursday, and I still have 5 hours of work to go on it.
Tomorrow, Jason from Milwaukee (Apple rep. there) is coming here so we can work on our film for Bob’s sales conference. I’m not worried about this, but it means I have to dedicate time tomorrow to working on our film rather than on our paper. I want to avoid a late night becuase I couldn’t get enough done today. And I don’t want to be lazy anymore!
I don’t know what my problem is. I just can’t focus. My mind is going over a million things a minute. I didn’t sleep all that well last night either. I feel overworked. I haven’t been to a library in a week or so because I just chose to stay here and work. I don’t know if that is a good thing or not. I think all the library time I put in two weekends ago for my Landscape Architecture exam did me in, maybe. I haven’t put in that kind of time since.
When I get done with this paper and get it handed in, I have that evening planned for some relaxation. Brittany is going to come over for some Halo, and by then my role in our film production will be mostly done as well. Overall, it will be a big relief. It helps to think about Thursday and how nice it will be to have all that stuff taken care of. In fact, Thursday I will be able to sit and do nothing.
This weekend is Haloween, which of course is a big event here in Madison. I have never been down to State Street for all the festivities, but figure this may be the year to do it (since when else am I going to do it?) Anthony’s girlfriend Kristine will be coming up, and I am sure things will be going on here, people over and so on. My sister is taking the car, so I can’t even hope to escape. I think I need to make some plans of my own. I should find out what Brittany is doing.
Writing in here has helped me relax some, which is good. I guess I ought to read over the book I’m writing on (The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon). It’s pretty short, so that should go quick. And if I know everything I want to cite, the writing always takes no time at all.
