Indulge me, won't you?

As if I don't do this enough, forgive me while I whine a minute.

Someday, before this thing called grad school is over, I will figure out the right balance of working ahead and procrastinating. This semester, I have not done a good job of it.

I started both of my papers over spring break (six weeks ago). I've worked on both papers regularly ever since. At least 2-3 days a week. As a result, I'm not in a panic to generate material but I am completely bogged down in utter boredom with my own thoughts on the topics.

There's only 3(ish) days left until I'll turn both of these papers in, which kind of sounds like torture. Three more days of this? Ugh. I wish I could turn my brain up to turbo and get them both done today. I wish I was done.

Okay. Whine over. Back to it. Thanks for listening. : )

And another thing.

Why do you always land on the really interesting idea when it's way too late to do anything about it?
