Having it Backwards

I have a huge term paper to write and I have writer's block. So, I decided to start my doing something brainless- like the reference page.

Now, I have a perfectly formatted list of 23 references. Working backwards, I should do the conclusion, then expected results, method, design, hypotheses, and literature review.

C.R.A.P.- Cannot.Remember.Anything.Problem.

Focus, focus, focus. I have notes, annotations, abstracts.

Watched Bridget's Jones Diary for a full hour and a half. Very funny.

Took a break from taking a break and made coffee. Hmm, maybe some cereal too, and leftovers from lunch.

Oh my god, I am too full to think straight. My pants are uncomfortable tight. Disturbing.

Weight, 128 lbs. Alcohol units, 0. Caffeine units, 2. Dread level, 100%.

Getting it together. Getting it together. I am the intellectual equivalent of everyone else in this room. My poster of Jim Morrison is not reassuring.

Got into a much more comfortable position. Legs stretched, back straight, hands free to type. Excellent.

S.H.I.T.- Seriously.Hitting.Idiocy.Target

Why did I sign up for this? I could have taken a random 300 level undergraduate class and gotten away with 4 exams and 10 quizzes. Why did I sign up for a 500 level class filled with dedicated people who actually care about the subject?

I guess there is no point arguing with that now. My childhood has conditioned me to strive for a level of excellence I neither care for nor am willing to put in the effort toward. Whats worse is that everything I have done so far is not even noteworthy compared to other people I know, so I don't even feel a sense of achievement. I guess that is fair, no one should give you points just for getting it right. You have to do something extraordinary.

E.X.T.R.A.O.R.D.I.N.A.R.Y.- Escaping.Xeroxed.Typical.Route.Away to.Other.Roads.Demands.Intelligent.Navigation.Away from. Regular.Yearnings.

Right. Get it together, Jones.
